Okay not to be anti-Christmas, which I'm agnostic about being neither from America or a christian
What does your nationality have to do with this? There are Christians all over the world celebrating Christmas. Oh, right: America = bad.
But am I the only one who thinks this Santa thing might not be in the best interest of a child? I mean teaching them that gifts come from some magic guy instead of the parents? Or is Santa just a scapegoat so the parents don't get blamed when the kid doesn't get the more outlandish presents he asked for?
Dude, seriously: were you raised in a Skinner Box?
They replaced the old user name 'super' with 'superman', and changed the old password to '21241036'.
See, here's the problem: Superman's password is Batman's phone number! Think of the confusion and mayhem that is sure to result from this. We all know that only Commisioner Gordon should have that number.
Try Mouser Electronics. I have ordered white LED's from them in the past. Be sure to search their online catalog as the URL I provided only points to a portion of the LED's they carry.
This is unabashed political correctness. The hell with individuality. Which special group/s do you belong to? I suppose the producers would be especially pleased with themselves if they could manage to sign up a 72 year old Hispanic quadriplegic lesbian wiccan. Their collective smugness would be palpable

Yep! Happened all the time when I used v1.1. It was a well known bug. It looks like it might be fixed in v1.2- I've pounded on eBay with no problems so far. Have you tried v1.2 yet?
Nickel Cadmium != Nickel Metal Hydride so yeah, you can use NiMH rechargables, but his point about NiCads still stands
BZZZT! Sorry, but Nickel Cadmium = Nickel Metal Hydride so far as voltage is concerned. Both NICAD and NiMH cells are rated at 1.2v when fully charged. A set of fully charged NICAD cells is just as capable of powering these mice as a fully charged set of NiMH cells. Volts is volts. There is, however, a big difference in amperage between these two types of cells. AA NICADS are typically rated at no more than 600-800mAh while the NiMH cells I have are rated for 1750mAh. They last plenty long in my mouse. I only have to recharge them once a month.
And you can't use rechargables, because these bad boys need the full 1.7 volts from those Alkaline cells -- the 1.3 from NiCd just won't cut it
Hmmm... tell that to my Logitech Cordless Optical mouse which has been happily running on 2 AA NiMH cells for the last year. They've saved me a ton of money over what alkalines would have cost.

Sorry, no punch line. I just like being able to ask that question now.
Did you even read the article?
Construction of the ice road involves clearing the route of snow, bulldozing rough ice and filling in crevasses
Wow. Some snow gets pushed around. I think the arctic environment can handle that.
Environmentalists appear relaxed about the scheme. The ice cap is a barren wilderness devoid of life.
If the environmentalists haven't knotted their collective panties over this then why should you?

You might want to take a look at LeoCAD. It has some of what you're looking for.
