Comment Re:How does custom firmware "lose sales" (Score 1) 190

Sure, custom firmware can be used to play pirated PSP games much as how a candle can be used to burn down a house, yet that isn't necessarily mean thats the reason for having a candle burning in a house. There are many applications such as Nintendo emulators, etc. that will never be released on the PSP with an official release yet you can get them via custom firmware.

Oh so we have custom firmware to pirate other platform's games but not for the base system riiight.

So the actual keypresses to save and compile the software would be: ctrl+s, alt-tab, up arrow (or ctrl+p) and enter. Yes, that is three keystrokes more than the IDE way in which you press F9 to save and compile the software. On the other hand, with the shell way you don't even have to move your fingers away from the home position on the keyboard.

Wow, you must have some fancy programer keyboard where the up arrow is on the home row. At least on my keyboard F9 is closer than the up arrow.

nd when the app compiled there was a compiler warning; in the IDE a double click on the warning took me right to the source line in the editor, so I could fix it, and rebuild.

When I type make in Vim and there is an error or warning it goes to the line automatically no click, no funky command sequence. In my experience IDE's provide slightly better project management abilities but tend to be a little slower. Code completion tends to be a little better in IDEs, though it tends to be more in your face and distracting.

Comment A two pronged approach (Score 1) 1117

I would filter the school's internet connection to block myspace, porn etc. since the kids shouldn't be goofing off at school. Off campus I would allow myspace etc. and try to block porn not because they shouldn't be looking at porn but because you don't want them to bring porn to school. It won't be successful but at least you tried.

Therefore How do I sell a speaker to a customer if I am not an authorized dealer? If I sell it to them they will not have a warranty? Sure I can get it through a distrubutor but thats being shady to the customer, and downright bad business.

It would have the same manufacturer's warranty it does now. It would just mean that you were no longer on the hook for warranty work they would have to contact the manufacturer. Just like I would if I bought a PS3 or Xbox at Target I don't expect Target to do warranty work I contact Sony or Microsoft.
