Impractical Pandora-successor names


It's just ironic to me, how people think hitler is evil, stalin and evil, so that anyone who defeat them must be representative of justice and such.

'Merica has created more orphans in the mid east than any other lesser countries have ever done, and nobody really gives a damn about that.

Because they are all terrorists, and we are obviously fighting for the greater good.
Because going to war is obviously worse than judging people solely by their race or religion and throwing them into concentration camps. You're obviously trolling to get everybody angry at you. I'm not even German and I was offended by your Hitler joke. Stick to the topic.

none of these are moral. i feel like to state that before hitler there wasn't much talking on human right. before stalin there wasn't much devotion to freedom. If people are to perform atrocities today like what genghis kahn had done, then that would be much worse and vile. people only get better when they have gone through hell. We need to judge things from a modern persepective.


A few decades later, maybe 'Merica's way will be viewed as monstrous as any other nationalist barbarians.

That, my dear sir, is already the case for about 10 years, at least in my part of Europe.

I do not dislike americans at all (ok, there are many points that I find quite disturbing about racism, speciecism, sexism, drug abuse, weapon use, eating habits, etc...),

but the government is a terrorist state for me and not only for me. I hate my own government for going to war for them, but at least I vote against these parties every time out of many reasons.

Regarding the learning process:

I do not know, if we needed the national socialist party and it's atrocities to become a modern and (admittedly sometimes over the top) tolerant state like we are today,

but it may as well be so. On the other hand, not many people in America seem to feel guilty because of the hundreds of systematically destroyed native american tribes

and racism there is still quite a big problem, after hundreds of years. Remember: A whole continent has been wiped out there through genocide in maybe the largest scale in history.

You do not neccessarily learn from your mistakes, Putins russia is another example. It's not as far away from Stalin as it should be

and it is nearly the same with China and Mao...

Nations are not persons that are evolving in a few decades and humans have the same problems with their sins (greed f.e.) since lots of thousands of years and many more to come.

The real shame is.. there are no countries outside of my europe that are living up to any kind of ideal. Id love to see Australia become more of a major player and a more progressive place but we're just the 51st state.

Considering that many countries had established governments that gave voice to their people and abolished all forms of slavery by the time the USSR came around, you're not really making much of a case for a lack of devotion to freedom.

Like I said, if you want to bitch about America or make tasteless jokes about previous dictators, go do so in some offtopic forum. This forum is for talking about the Pandora 2, and this topic is about coming up with names for it.

That is very true, and very sad. Honestly, I feel that Andrew Jackson was a complete bastard and I hate him for most of what he did during his Presidency. However, your comment about racism doesn't have very much merit, because it's not like racism doesn't happen outside of the US. I have seen many Europeans as vehement in their racism against Americans as many Americans who are racist against African Americans.

And recursion is also always great Pinpt  (pinpt is not pandora two)
Honestly, I feel that everyone started overplaying recursive acronyms after WINE became popular.

G.N.U. = GNU is Not Unix. That's one way older than wine. Hurd is also a recursive acronym (a little bit more weird) and older than wine.Imho recursive acronyms havent been overused before wine existed

Whoa Whoa Whoa... I didn't say that recursive acronyms were unused before WINE. There was also PHP. What I am saying is that after WINE became popular, everybody and their brother wanted to name their software with a recursive acronym.

I think, whe use "Panzwora" a Name, Evildragon sugestet once.. Pandora and two (zwo)
Eh, that was me. And it was not a suggestion but a mere joke as I was rambling on about it.

Edit: Interesting. If it enter "Pan Zwora" in g-translate it detects Polish and the German translation of that is apparently "Mr. Jumper". Why a German translation is actually an English name beats me.

People are prone to forgetfulness, I'm afraid. As long as the current politicians make up big lies about how they are going to change things around, people would take their trash at face value.

May be we are not learning as fast as we would like, but the world is getting better. The internet has brought people all over the world closer, so it will become harder and harder to demonize other races. (even though some country like the DPRK do exist)

Most of the German I know are very polite and efficient people, I think the only reason Nazi exist in the first place is because people back then are not civilized as they are today.

I don't think America will stay its way forever. One country can't live on terrorizing others forever. It needs to stay competitive in a commercial sense. Sure America is trying every tricks it can to maintain US dollar's dominating position, it has disappointed many for one too many times.

I like Russians, and I would agree  that the Russian government is still a bit too right winged, but at least they are not starting wars all over the world and they provided shelters for Snowden.

To me, if my history classes have taught me anything, is forcing the way you think is good onto others rarely will create a better situation. (My own country Australia is guilty of this)

Some times people are like that is because they have to stay that way to survive. May be Russia and China can only provide so much to their people, so they have to live with what they got.

Back to the original topic, Pandora is a niche product, and may not be readily accepted by the majority. Even though to me, only names like pandora 3d, pandora HD make any business sense, it seems like they are more intelligent than blindly buying anything named pandora and are promised to be better. A poetic name can be somewhat appreciable, making it simple and stupid may work even better.

Names like OpenAthena can be linked to openpandora easily and it's somewhat a good representation of pandora's endless possibility.

We can be a bit lazier and call it Project Apollo, or the note O.

My understanding of the indie market is that, hipsters and geeks do not care that much about the name of things they buy. We don't need to make up pretty words like what sony is doing, and we don't need to make the name so straight forward that it becomes an insult to its owner's intelligent. (Iphone, Ipad, Ipod and such)

That's not to say we can call p2 Project Apollo: code openAthena. That's over doing it.

"The Pocket Super-Emulatorium of Emulators and other stuff" is the best I can come up with.
 
Open pandora uses 2 common words and sometimes when I youtube search this device I run across war videos and arbitrary videos.

I would like a higher syllable count in the next name for the successor so that search results would be a little more exclusive than "Obama tries to OPEN PANDORA's box in Syria"

I am surely not the only one experiencing this phenomenon too.  

some more names; Waddle, reJuve,  Syntax, OpenFoo, PanFoo,  PnD2:XE,  Linario, Oyster, Pandiditagain!

I believe this has been suggested before. I am not opposed to this name, but I feel like we can do better. I would like the name of the new device to express a connection to either community, homebrew, or retro gaming.

Sounds too practical.
