    New Pandora smells of stale cigarette smoke?

    I just lost a longer reply thanking each poster due to a finger fumble - but the summary is that yes, the smell is going away since the Pandora has been aired in a well-ventilated room. Which is a relief... :) thanks to Gerix, Anihil8ion2199 and Link for their advice. :D

    Newly arrived Pandora won't turn off!

    Thanks for the info - that all makes sense to me. Again, that's great to know - I'll look for that script. Thanks! :)

    New Pandora smells of stale cigarette smoke?

    I know that some people might find this a trivial thing, but my newly received Pandora smells quite strongly of stale cigarette smoke. Is this a typical thing, or have I got a refurbished unit, or does the paint somehow just smell that way? My son has Asperger's, and I'm pretty sure that he...

    Newly arrived Pandora won't turn off!

    Edit: Okay, just read that the unit powers itself on whenever it is on the AC charger. For some reason, after reading that, I tried shutting down with the charger removed, and it actually powered down that time. No idea what I was doing wrong when I tried that the first time... at least I know...

    Explaining The Pandora

    +1 to both the posters, and +1 to Gruso's suggested rewrite if something a bit stronger is wanted. Once you want to get all "communist menace", the only way not to end up in some kind of Godwin's Law situation (the old "discussion thread dies once Hitler or the Nazis get mentioned" thing) is to...

    When Does Building/shipping Resume?

    Weird is right - at the least, they should do some filtering to apply the cancelling only to the vocal frequency range, and leave the bass parts alone. Apart from the vocals, the low frequency instruments are usually centred in the stereo field, so they tend to disappear or sound very "hollow"...

    Screen Protectors Count Too!

    It's a tiny little coax lead to run from the the wifi radio to the antenna - that's why it has the metal lump on the end, rather than an antenna. You'll likely see something similar if you look inside a laptop that has wifi, or even the option to have wifi - my dad's old Toshiba has the antenna...

    Keyboard Leds Possible Mod ?

    how about this for yet another silly HW suggestion for Pandora 2 - two SMD LEDs on each side of the keypad PCB, with little lightpipes mounted on the upper case section that sit over the LEDs and send all their light sideways into a translucent, white keymat with dark chars printed? That means...

    Any Reason To Continue Using Full Sized Sd Cards?

    After losing a bunch of money with an Olympus camera that kept clobbering Smart Media cards for no apparent reason, and where the media could only be reformatted using a DOS tool and a particular SM reader chipset that was no longer on sale :( , I would never consider using any gear that uses...

    Sgx Opengl Es 2.0 Application Development Recommendations

    FWIW, this style of tiling looks like a Z-order space filling curve. Googling for that might turn up some good algorithms for transforming data from linear layout into this representation.
