    Eneloop Alternatives (or Cracking The Battery Lingo Codewords)

    One person is apparently hung up on buying special batteries for each device. I'm not going to buy three different kinds of batteries for six different tasks, and I think that most people are the same way. For me, ~95% of the time, a low-self-discharge battery is either good or the best...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    So, in reality, you slowed the boot time on your computer, not, strictly speaking, the SSDs. And you shouldn't run out of drive letters. You just move on to double-lettered drives.

    The camera pointed out the front window is new, and they apparently had gain issues after cutting through that cloud deck. The shots of the falling SRBs from a plane is courtesy the Aries 1X, which used the same platform to record their motor crash into the ocean.
