Season's Givings?

DevanJedi asks: "Many people around the world plan their charitable giving around this time of the year, for religious, tax or other similarly benevolent reasons. As a geek who spends an inordinate amount of time around his computer, I have compiled a list of entities that have made my geek life easier, in the past year. Which other projects does Slashdot believe to be worthy of praise, money, recognition, developer time or general applause?"

  1. Storage by hahafaha · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I find that one of tme most useful things to give is storage, particularly portable storage such as (preferrably large USB Drives). Setting up a system at home is great, but imagine getting even, say a 256 MB drive, installing Cygwin (with X) on it, and using it to SSH into your machine from others, even if your own machine is GNU/Linux and the clients are Windows. It's like carrying your own system around your neck at all times, and when you change something, you don't have to update anything.
