I've been using these for about two years. I used to have to ice my wrists every night after work, but after wearing these for about a week, the pain went away. Your milage may vary, but they work great for me!

Ass-data, pure and simple. The M4 is derived from, but is not, an M16:
The M4/M4A1 5.56mm Carbine is a lightweight, gas operated, air cooled, magazine fed, selective rate, shoulder fired weapon with a collapsible stock. A shortened variant of the M16A2 rifle, the M4 provides the individual soldier operating in close quarters the capability to engage targets at extended range with accurate, lethal fire. The M4 Carbine achieves over 80% commonality with the M16A2 Rifle and will replace all M3.45 caliber submachine guns and selected M9 pistols and M16 rifle series.
Crap item 1: The modern M16 fires a 5.56x45mm NATO round, while the previous generation (original AR15 platform) used a.223 caliber Remington round. The NATO round is a very standard round used in quite a few weapons. The newest weapon in wide use is actually the M4, which is also based on the AR15 platform.
A simple Google of "5.56mm" returns the 5.56mm FAQ as the third hit. This gives some detailed history on the evolution of the 5.56mm round, and shows that the above quote is not accurate.
I also found an interesting advisory on using 5.56mm ammunition in a rifle chambered for.223 Remington.
Crap item 2: The older 7.62mm NATO round was used in a lot of weapons, including the M14, M60, Kar-98k, and the Winchester model 70. It was very popular, as well.
If by "Kar-98k" you mean the Mauser 98K, its actually chambered for the 8mm Mauser round, which is *not* 7.62mm.
Crap item 3: The M16 isn't designed to maim, but they are easy to do this with. They are rather accurate, have a good range, and don't do full auto.
The last statement is accurate only for the M16A1E1, M16A2 and M16A4. The M16, M16A1, and M16A3 all have fully automatic capability. See this for more detail.
Yeah, my karma is bad, so its unlikely this post will get modded up, but at least I'm not providing ass-data.
Mod parent up. For doing anything within the Windows GUI, AutoIt is the way to go. The ability to make the scripts into.EXEs is priceless. AutoIt combined with Perl should be able to handle just about anything a human could do.
I, for one, welcome our new lunar robotic overlords...
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto...
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of lunar robots...
But will they run Linux?

Amazing how the new kind of politics looks and smells a lot like the old, isn't it?

Sure, the folks at the cell phone companies have been striving mightily to make real that button on James T. Kirk's chest.
Ummm...the last time I checked, Kirk used a hand-held communicator, and it was Picard who had the chest button.

Twelve of those carry the Polaris D5 missile, and the remaining four carry the Polaris C4 missile.
Small nitpick - the Ohio-class submarines don't carry Polaris missiles; they carry Trident missiles.
That's already been done!
For those of you who don't get it, one of the nicknames of the F-16 is "Viper".
Yet another post that won't be seen and enjoyed because of my bad karma....
