AAARRGGHH!! ZUNE!

As I was born in 1974, I was a true 80's kid and pretend to have some knowledge about this matters.

Therefore I have to dissagree with you here... atleast I would if the Pandora would respond to water as Gremlins/Mogwais did.

In water, Mogwais and Gremlins started multiplying themselves by popping meat balls out of their back which unrolled into new born Mogwais/Gremlins.
I wouldn't object if my Pandora started multiplying itself... would you?

Just don't feed a Mogwai after midnight as it will turn into a Gremlin!

But the Mogwais that are "born" have only about a 1/1000 chance of being gentle, the other 999 are more aggressive. You might have many more Pandoras, but they're likely to insult you and corrupt your files when you aren't looking.

Don't feed your Pandora either. It won't turn into a Gremlin, but it's still a bad idea.

You've not touched on the third and most important rule..

"Do NOT expose to sunlight... Sunlight kills Pandoras"


But seriously, how does the pandora behave in sunlight, is the screen a good one in terms of anti-glare?
I like to have the sun on my back when I'm gaming outdoors, all vids i've seen are shot indoors

Was the right video after all.

Cheers, that clip demonstrates nicely, and still looks highly visible too which is good news.
Like the way it manages the web page zoom too, is that Pandora or Firefox managing that? ..either way its nice, I hadnt really thought about how you would navigate large pages, be it a click-to-zoom or whatever, but it seems to work nicely as it is there.

What does this do?
Code:
fork()
*WARNING!! DO NOT RUN THIS CODE IT WILL CRASH YOUR COMPUTER*

"Running" that code takes a bit more effort than you think it does

Yah I know, but I didn't want to give anyone a chance to make it work.

Code:
 :( ){ :|:& };:


Code:
import os
 
while True:
     os.fork()

Code:
#include <unistd.h>
 
int main(void)

  for(;;)

}

PHP:
while(pcntl_fork()|1);

Code:
push	0x2

pop	eax

nt	0x80

jmp	start

Maybe the Pandora will feel better if you give it a solar panel! It can become a daywalker!

another thing to worry is not to touch the loopback circuit when live.

and its well pointed out with a smaller than 8 point silkscreen on the PCB?

of course that if you wanted to touch it sure you need to open the case, and power it up.


if something is worth to put a warning on the PCB i guess either is a bad thing happened before, or a very very bad thing that should never happen

NOW I GET IT!!

the pandora story was about the pandora woman that only got part of the manual, and the rest of it got lost by humidity or it catched fire??

1 dont open the padora's case .. .. and touch the loopback circuit.
 
I have no idea what that code would do, hence wouldn't dare to run it.

I do like the idea of a daywalking pandora though, maybe if you unleash some code to destroy all other pandoras, yours can become the "one"

I am sorry! Eight Bit is absolutely correct! I was watching Gremlins a few nights ago! Go Foxtel!

I shall update my original post!
