Eman, have you thought about the amount of money and time that they have put into this, or should I say money and time they lost doing this? Remember they didn't draw a salary doing it, and since no one else was doing it, maybe patience is a virtue for those that are doing it.

For the ones saying we shouldn't be upset because we aren't paying. Let's look at this in another example:
Your favorite band is giving a free concert that is 2 hours away from your house. It is suppose to start at 8pm EST.
So you leave nice and early to get there in time. At 11pm the band still has not gotten on the stage yet. Not a word from anyone. People start saying I guess they are not going on yet.
It is now 12am and still not even an announcement so people just start to leave and assume the band isn't going to play.
You get home at 2am EST and look online to see a post from the band at 1:30am that says, sorry guys, we were tired........
So, would you be pissed in this situation or just be like? I am sure plenty of you would be.......

If your a true geeker then this stuff bothers you, everyone else is just a bunch of posers

Eman.... can't say I'm not bothered by it... but maybe I'm still just a poser... I'm waiting just like everyone else, I guess I just understand that these things take time, and since you're not able to make the unlocker, you rely soley on them and their schedules. As far as the concert analogy... if they were the only band around producing the music I wanted to hear, yeah I may be upset, but I would take advantage of the time and drink a few brews!!! LOL... not looking to fight bro... it'll be here soon enough and then let the fun begin!!

bad analogy for a variety of reasons though. Beyond the fact that this isn't a band and it is a group of people with individual lives, in some respects, they really don't even have to publicly release an unlocker at all. Life happens all the time. They aren't required to give anyone an ETA just because someone gave a DONATION.

And if you are (or trying to become a chef/application designer/developer) this doesn't bother you in the slightest because things like this happen ALL THE TIME. Stuff gets pushed back. Who cares? This isn't a concert, this isn't a band that gets royalties and pay from a corporation, it is for all intents and purposes a group that is willing to SHARE their contribution to the community when in many ways they don't have to.

I'll say it one more time. I don't really care if hspl is released today, tomorrow, or the day after that or even months after that. I'm happy with my stock, happy creating roms and testing them in an emulated environment. That's good enough for me.

Give the developers a break, stuff happens all the time. And yeah I know you don't like it, but hey be patient - not like at a free concert when its cancelled you're SOL. We know its coming, we just don't know when. So the phrase

its done when its done

perfectly applies

I think the unlocker is already done and given out to the big chefs first so they can test their stuff. After the chefs are done and ready, than they will release it all at once.

the frustration isn't due to waiting as much as it is the "it will be out tomorrow". if that statement hadn't been made (or whatever the exact statement was) then i don't think folks would be so upset. but the fact of the matter is we know it works, the folks that have it has told us it works and there really is no reason for the bait and switch routine that's been going on for the last couple of days. heck, the mods were so certain it was going to be released that the threads were even unlocked.
