I have a CMG infinity with red led.
It's a small, sturdy metal light that takes one AA battery and gives 40 hours of full brightness light, then another 30 or so of slowly dimming light.
I use mine for general use and astronomy, and love it. It can take a beating, runs all year of heavy use on like a 4 pack of AA batteries.
There's now an ultra version out with twice the brightness and half the battery life.

This is the way the law has always worked. We have penalties for aggravated manslaughter, and murder one. The judges job is to determine which the defendant deserves. Or look at abusive monopolies. AT&T was broken up 3 different times for abusing their monopoly. Microsoft has gotten 2 slaps on the wrist. That's the judges perogative...
Which is why I did not reply to you, but to a person replying to you. He was not saying that you in particular shouldn't upgrade, but that, in effect, "Linux sux0rs". He said,"Incidentally, that is exactly the reason most people don't want to bother trying linux. You have to manually mess with so many things that ought to be handled automatically by the installer. Now if I were an android with tons of spare time on my hands, I wouldn't mind..." I agree with you, disagree with him. If you don't have any compelling reason to upgrade, don't. But your not wanting to upgrade your custom firewall setup doesn't mean in general that Linux is broken, which is what the person I replied to said.
Say what? You want an automatic setup of a firewall, which are custom by design? Or are you talking about the software upgrades, which debian dselect or the gentoo or source mage ports systems handle with darn easy interfaces? The setup and upkeep of a good linux distro. is as easy as possible, no easier. Firewall boxen like this aren't the normal thing your grandmother runs.
I disagree. For most pages, HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.x are basically the same. Both should depend on style sheets, or can use old layout hacks. All it takes to convert an HTML 4.01 Strict profile page to XHTML 1 is to add a few "/" characters in the closeing of tage that aren't otherwise closed. The difference between HTML 3.x and HTML 4.X or XHTML 1.x are large. The differences between the newest iterations of XHTML and HTML are small.
He was testing on a seperate machine, just wanted to avoid the hassle of transfering all the sources every time he wanted to compile. Quote from article:
The transfer of source to an MS-Windows machine and the correction of filenames and text format issues have been avoided. Therefore, I can build the game from one machine, then I only have to copy the final chaos.exe to my MS-Windows machine to test.
ATTBI is raising it's prices because it's no longer AT&T, it's now Comcast. I had comcast where I used to live, get ready for worse service for more money....

Except he can. Java bytecode is what your.class files are, and the VM runs. Native code (or Machine code) is what a JIT VM might turn your commonly executed routines into. Every VM uses Java bytecode. Some use native code.
Actually, this would be a setup much like patents. Other companies couldn't legaly make use of your code for a limited period of time, just like they can't make youse of your patent for a limited period of time. Copyright has had stipulations like this in the past. In fact, at one point, to be able to copyright a movie, you had to provide the Govt. with frame by frame prints onto black and white silver based paper with long life characteristics so that they could release it whe n copyright protection was over. There was much protest from the film industry that it would cost them too much money to print these pictures, and the provision was dropped. It's too bad, as now some movie companies have been known to destroy all known reels of film right before a work is supposed to go into the public domain. I think that a provision such as this should go into effect, and the Library of Congress could easily store a DVD or other digital copy of the films at very low cost. (and of course, stoping the perpetual extention of copyright.. Another story...) Now, the same idea would work well for source code. If everyone had to open their code, it'd be easy to check if copying was going on. Maybe it would make more sense to put the code in escrow with the Govt to be released later if immediate release would be to much to swallow...
I've lived all over the northeast, and have never been in, or even heard of before now, an area where there wasn't a cable monopoly, and have never had good enough copper and/or been close enough to the DSLAM to be able to get DSL, and wireless is unheardof, except for satelite service... Consider yourself very lucky indeed.

from cygwin.com: Cygwin is a UNIX environment, developed by Red Hat, for Windows. It consists of two parts: # A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a UNIX emulation layer providing substantial UNIX API functionality. # A collection of tools, ported from UNIX, which provide UNIX/Linux look and feel.
Basically it lets you compile unix programs on windows and run them with the cygwin.dll.

I would love to have a small version of this (only needs to be like 8-128 megs) to act as the journal for my hard drives. This is persistent storage (as long as you have a UPS on the external power sonnection), and would be great to use for the journal of your filesystem, making it act like a fast write cache that was persistent. Would allow more write combining and such before being written out to the real hard drive. As you mention, more RAM as a cache pretty much would make up for any other use of this I can think of.
