    Poll: Do You Like Keybord Font.

    It's "gp32x.de/board" not "gp32x.de,board". So anyone who web browses frequently needs a "/" key. I'd like to see automatic remapping of some keys when the application focused changes, so in a word processor you would have , instead of /, and in a web browser, the other way round.

    Poll: Do You Like Keybord Font.

    +1 for compose button, but couldn't it be the "command" button instead?

    Poll: Do You Like Keybord Font.

    I like it as it is, but as long is it's futuristic and sans-serif then I guess that would be ok too. Other than that, I don't think it matters that much, as we will learn to touch-type soon enough - right? ;)

    Pandora On Engadget

    While I am not sure about your claims about more professional 3D/design software being available for the Mac, the claim about not enough open-source software being available on OS X is a tiny bit ridiculous. As you are well aware, OS X is a POSIX-compliant system, which means most software can...

    Win 2k?

    I have always though that computers are all about offering me functionality rather than programs - and aside from particular games, what sort of functionality does Linux not provide? (The "aside from particular games" comment refers to the fact that it would be unreasonable to expect something...

    Half Life 1?

    To dispel the notion once and for all: any OpenGL 2.0 driver (that exposes the fixed function pipeline) will be just "emulated" via shaders. To get most of the fixed function pipeline back is not exactly difficult - in fact, the book "OpenGL ES 2.0 Programming Guide" has an example of emulating...

    Translating Pandora Interface.

    Generally speaking, you would provide translations per application. One of the standard ways of doing string translation (where string is an array of characters) on Linux is through gettext, i.e. .mo and .po files. Most standard linux utilities and programs should already have localization...

    Opengl Es Tutorials

    I would highly recommend getting the "OpenGL ES 2.0 Programming Guide" (Amazon link), especially if you only know desktop OpenGL 2 without many extensions (or were not familiar with it at all). It provides very good grounding material on the pipeline, usage of EGL, as well as chapters on vertex...

    Why I Will Not Be Getting A Pandora Now...

    I can name 1 device that's been announced - namely the Palm Pre. I'm pretty sure there must be some devices using Tegra that will come out this year, but they must have slipped under my radar because I have not heard of any specific devices. So, we're looking for 2 more :D Edit: Someone was...

    Arm Netbook Anyone?

    ARM laptops would be nice to see, especially if they get below the £200 mark (though it's either than or the Sony Vaio P, personally). I would very much like to see dual-core ARM processors - I'm guessing that because of the very low price of a single core A8 (suppose) then a dual-core would...

    Release What Happened To Openpandora.org / Gp2x.de

    An idea might be to use a service like Amazon's EC2 to scale gracefully upwards - it might take a few days to set up to work properly, however. So with all the software development and packaging going on, it's probably not something to setup "right now" :)

    Direct (close-to-the-metal) open-source SGX driver

    We are all entitled to our own opinions :) I'm not so sure why this is turning into a debate about whether having open-source drivers for previously closed-source hardware is a good idea or not... Generally speaking, shouldn't hardware just provide an interface generic enough to implement a...
