The LED museum was great when the guy running it kept to the history and technology of LEDs. The last few years he "reviews" flashlights and assorted crap.
His prose, coupled with the byzantine webdesign, is hardly worth the very few bits of knowledge contained in the site.
He had a good thing going, but he blew it.
Why are you Americans so god-awful inefficient with your resources?
Here in Europe, the average person uses 90 liters of water per day. And no, that is not because we like stinking up the place (well, maybe the French do).
You use a magnitude more in electricity, old and water. No wonder you can't sustain your economy...
Well, isn't that the right info at the right time!
I'll guess I will send my Mini off for conversion to Flash and a new battery. So, no need for a Touch and it keeps my money in my pocket.
Thanks!
Yeah, for the most part it is. The thing is, the products are really slick and Just Work. There is a sense of ease, of comfort even.
That's to say, they won't sell me the iPod Touch I so very much like to have, as I have no way to sync it on Linux. Too bad, both Apple and I are losing here.
Anyone had any luck running iTunes on Wine? The installer crashes furiously here.
I have an iPod mini, the built-like-a-tank aluminum one. Love it to bits, gets used every day. And it syncs great on Linux, I use Rhythmbox, but Banshee (and others) do a fine job also.
However, the battery gets a little tired and I have been looking at an Ipod Touch. Nifty little device. Except, there is no way to sync it if you don't run iTunes. And as that won't run on Wine, I'm out of luck. Or, rather, Apple is out of luck.
No sale.
Don't tell us, tell the board members of Toyota.
Write a polite, well formed letter expressing your above stated concern.
Your letter won't make a difference. My letter won't either. But when they get enough of those, the idiots responsible for this fiasco will be found and taken out of the loop.
Therefore, to make an example, the directors of OCLC need to be thrown in jail for any of the following: extortion, fraud, RICO. Or just rounded up and shot, fine with me.
Yeah, but whatever you do and however much you try to raise your land, at the end of the day you are still in that junkie-infested hellhole.

There is also a marvellous documentary about these two guys.
If some gadget has a bright LED I replace it with one of those. No more glare for me!

It beats trolling on Slashdot, at least.
If you haven't played it already, take a look at Minerva. You can get it from its own website or even as featured mod on Steam.

Having money and spending it like there's no tomorrow doesn't work against you, either!
Create a small batch file in your path, and call it 'tman' (for typeset-man), containing:
man -t $1 > /tmp/tman.ps; evince /tmp/tman.ps
And now, everytime you want to look at a manpage, just type tman instead of man. You will be happy.
