    Diary of a non-patient man

    I'm glad I didn't have to upgrade after all. The pandora is a really good device. I wish there was a media player that did everything I wanted, but the emulator performance has been pretty good for the games I've tried. Wesnoth and Open Tyrian work perfectly and deadbeef is good enough on the...

    Got Your Pandora? Tell Us Your Order Date!

    I was in 800-900 range and am pending confirmation of shipping. I am hoping I'll hear something during next week.

    200 Pandoras Shipping W/c 16 August

    Honestly this whole situation makes me regret that I didn't take the damn day off 2 years ago. It ended up making such a difference in timeline for people who ordered just a few hours before I did. Of course, I wouldn't want to be at the very front of the line either, but somewhere in the...

    Wtf? Ok Who Listed This One....

    Proof of this conspiracy? If the politicians have little power why aren't they saying so? All of them are "in on it" as soon as they are elected? I'm not against conspiracy theories, I'm probably a believer in them if anyone is, but I need more than your posturing and I have to believe on the...

    Wtf? Ok Who Listed This One....

    I agree with you, but not for your reasons. A lot of Americans now involved in the military would get out of the military with less need for it (I'm not for just getting out of the 2 wars, but removing the bases abroad that do nothing for us but drain our coffers). Initially, this lower size...

    Wtf? Ok Who Listed This One....

    Kicker, thanks for the reply. It was my intention to get you to elaborate a bit, because your words were such that you felt you were so absolutely right, but didn't explain why. I have a better understanding of the why now (you feel history, current history even, gives credence to your view in...

    Wtf? Ok Who Listed This One....

    If you were seeking to use trite one-liners to undermine any trust that people have in your ability to produce a cogent argument, then mission accomplished.

    Wtf? Ok Who Listed This One....

    Good start, lets see what "a good deal" means... Ok... now you just lost me. So capitalism which is fundamentally about trade between parties agreeing on something to their mutual benefit and not based on coercion is now in support of slavery, a system that forced people to work for nothing...

    Pandora Cases Being Made In China...

    Personally I find it refreshing and honest, as opposed to the pretense most offer.

    Pandora Cases Being Made In China...

    Way to take the high road in trying to belittle me. You pretty much completely ignore something called "per capita" but.. then the "little" details like that may not come your way too often. I won't get into slavery because that is going nowhere but flame-bait regardless of what I say, but I'd...

    Pandora Cases Being Made In China...

    I'm ignorant of a lot of things. But, I think that world history has provided substantial evidence that most societies that do well start off by developing economically before they start implementing ideas of additional "rights" (most of which I agree are good things to have, though not...

    Pandora Cases Being Made In China...

    It's better than having no work at all and dying of starvation. Rome wasn't built in a day, and societies don't start off development as perfect socialist utopias. No matter how you look at it the Chinese are much better off now than they were in the not so far off past. I don't support...

    Mupen64 Will It Have....

    It's as likely as there is a developer interested in doing it. Those who have fun doing emulation programming are not the same as those who have fun doing netcode or user interface programming. (As someone who used to work on scripting for Neverwinter Nights and who uses vba/vbs & SQL a lot at...
