Hi

Have a Pandora myself, excellent little machine.

It would have likely been out a lot sooner but there was a financial crash in 2009 (you may have heard something about it) which caused a fair number of delays/problems. Also Paypal decided to mess OpenPandora about to a massive extent, even refunding everyone and blocking purchases at one point!
As if that wasn't enough, the first PCB manufacturer proved to be completely incompetent, shipping faulty boards, at one time bent boards and failing to replace them, give the money back or in fact do anything to put right their screwup, it was when ED moved production to Germany things started running much more smoothly.

It was never supposed to be only a gaming platform, it is a full linux system which fits in your pocket (it can also run other operating systems from SD card, RISC OS for one)

The UK operation suffered from being operated by a liar and a thief, this was unforeseeable. (incidentally, the same person (Craig) has run off with all the icontrolpad 2 Kickstarter money as well it seems after using other peoples money to buy himself 3d printers and so on.)

Yes, the spec isn't as impressive as it was when announced but it's still a useful system.

Incidentally, the Pandora's successor (The Dragonbox Pyra) is in development now and has a far better spec. Also a Craig free system (Yay!), you can read some information about that at http://www.pyra-handheld.com/ if you're interested.

Many companies make batteries, they're all more or less the same other than the obvious size/capacity differences.

Not so many make cars like that, I'd respectfully suggest the bond manager has flipped his lid!

Classic

Just finished rewatching those yesterday (including party games)

That series is apparently pretty bang on as far as how government (here) actually works. (David Blunkett was fond of referencing the odd episode too)

Heh

Remember Takedown?

Accuracy will be the first thing to go in the name of artistic license.

Excellent

Could you and all the other theists kindly jump in and thus move closer to Him?

Lies.

Everyone knows you can only keep a wormhole open for 38 minutes.

You're an arrogant fool and would be downvoted if I'd not already posted on this article.

I taught myself programming on Z80 and 6502 machines many years ago and I could lose and find a lot professional programmers these days. University graduates in particular seem to have no idea how the systems work, god knows why, you'd think they'd teach the basics but apparently not everywhere!

Do you wear a suit to work? You sound like you do.

There is no Go.

Probably just as well, someone might consider it harmful.

When I find my code in tons of trouble,
Friends and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
"Write in C."

As the deadline fast approaches,
And bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
"Write in C."

Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
LOGO's dead and buried,
Write in C.

I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,
For science it worked flawlessly.
Try using it for graphics!
Write in C.

If you've just spent nearly 30 hours
Debugging some assembly,
Soon you will be glad to
Write in C.

Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
Only wimps use BASIC.
Write in C.

Write in C, Write in C
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
Pascal won't quite cut it.
Write in C.

Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
Don't even mention COBOL.
Write in C.

Second (or third)

Pre ANSI is not so fun these days -.o;

Stephen Hawking vetted the board behind Stephen Hawking, not Sheldon...

But still, impressive that they got him on there, multiple times.

Seriously? Slut shaming?

Yes, well, fuck you and your bigotry.

Herd immunity protects the kids who can't be vaccinated but that only works while the rest of the parents are responsible.

Bialik is stupid and a child abuser. Not only is she denying her kids vaccinations, she is denying them an education after taking three degrees herself.

She's a stinking hypocrite who thinks children are accessories to make statements with and the sooner the state takes them away so they can actually have a decent shot at a life with a job without fries the better.
