I've been trying for the last couple of hours to put a metallic edge round it, like that used in the banner, top of page.
Having failed miserably, could I just suggest it might look good if you could do it?

<t>I was just thinking about the ecosystem of Raspberry Pi, and how it seems to have evolved, and have come up with an analogy.<br/> The Greco-Roman gods had some rather unsavoury habits - eating their kids and the like - but we could leave that side alone. Otherwise, we have<br/> Eben as Zeus / Jup...
<r>.... <I><s>[i]</s>the software (USB Drivers) itself handles that such that it will still be limited to a max current of 500 mA per port.<e>[/i]</e></I> How? or are you saying the Pi tells the device it can only use 500mA so the device behaves like a good boy and only takes that? ... makes sense, ...
<t>If I were designing the circuit (which I\'m not - there\'re cleverer people out there) the first thing the power would hit is the fuse. Then the reverse biased diode - connect the power the wrong way, it\'s shorted by the diode, blows the fuse. In parallel with that is the over-voltage protection...
<r>There seems to be some uncertainty about what the Pi can / will supply through its USB ports. Part of that is that we don\'t yet know the precise circuitry of the Pi itself. I did ask about a week ago about this (<URL url="http://www.raspberrypi.org/?page_id=43&mingleforumaction=viewtopic&...
Should you think about a sweepstake on how fast they're sold out? With a prize of an alpha board? And what's going to happen with the alpha boards? Museums?
<r>Look on the General discussion >> News articles... page 15, by Liz. Pointer to nice article on <URL url="http://www.osnews.com">www.osnews.com</URL> with Adrian Lees booting into RiscOs. Still work to be done with USB &c. Also <URL url="http://www.raspberrypi.org/?page_id=43&mingleforumac...
<t>I've just noticed you're now well past 2500 forum members - 2745 as of now according to the forum front page. If the average "I'd buy ..." is close to 4 then you've effectively sold the first batch. That's not including all the lurkers, and anyone else who may have been promised some behind the s...
<t>I went along to the RISC OS London Show in Feltham yesterday, hoping to see RasPi, even though it's parents weren't with it, and found three of them - 6% of the population!<br/> Taking care of them were several "uncles", from Cambridge Uni. and from Broadcom, who were able to demonstrate their aw...
I wish you wouldn\'t do that - I just get sweaty under the armpits. You\'ll next be announcing forthcoming announcements about announcements about forthcoming announcements.
<t>A guy walks out of the desert to find a vast expanse of ocean: the first thing he does is jump in shouting \"Yipee!\". Only after that does he sit back and start thinking.<br/> So don\'t be too hard on them - you were that guy ten minutes ago! And reading through 12515 posts in 888 topics takes a...
<t>Yes you can't buy it yet, but a year from now when the 2nd gen. Pi is being designed you may be able to. Of course the price of that chip might still be wrong, but if we're just talking wishes we can wish for the right price as well.<br/> Mind you until I get the real 1st gen Pi in my hot stickie...
<t>A long time ago I heard that Tektronix, when refurbishing scopes, would dunk them in soapy water (don\'t know if it was actually true ... )<br/> We did the same when oiks poured coffe in their keyboards. As long as you get all the soap out, use deionised water, and dry it *THOROUGHLY* before appl...
I\'m going to get a Greek keyboard. Then I can stick a sticker on the ? key. Also just to be annoying I\'ll stick one on the ? key (see separate thread)
Using pi and defining radians from it, you get ?=sin(?) for small ?.
Using tau the same way, you\'d end up with a 2 somewhere for no apparent reason.
Seems to me you have to choose between the baby and the bathwater
Re the develop-online article: it's a pity they're still using pictures of the mark-1 midget instead of at least the alpha board
Liked Eben's interview
<r>What would be the potential for a SETI@home system on RasPi?<br/> I'm thinking: set up a R-Pi, always-on and networked to my router. Then it just trundles along on its own, full-time doing SETI@home, or protein-folding, or or any other distributed computing project (<URL url="http://en.wikipedia....
<r>Off on something of a tangent, what would be the potential for a SETI@home system on RasPi?<br/> I'm thinking: set up a R-Pi, always-on and networked to my router.
