    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    Normally I carry a TK11 onboard with one spare cell in a plastic container. It is set to low power and the switch end cap is unscrewed enough so that it would not turn on accidentally even if pushed.

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    That powerful light would be good for finding bodies at night. I don't know if FAA accepts the light with lithium batteries in the checked luggage. Too bad something like it is not commercially available.

    Quality 24"-28" LCD monitors

    NEC 90 series are really good, but their consistency has been slipping. Some of the other brands use their panels in lower-priced units. It goes without saying that the store should have a good return policy.

    What are you using for the controller side? I was unable to achieve particularly good results on FW400, so I stopped using it.

    OK, I installed it. But really, why should that be necessary just to test the internet speed? Does the newer Windows or latest Mac OS X have that pre-installed?

    TI sucked with many Oxford bridges so I used VIA-based PCI cards for FW400 back in the early-mid 2000s.

    I returned to v.6 and that works too with the LS base app. So David was right about the Lightscriber, as is often the case. :)

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    That is far too large for my needs. I like the size of the TK45 at 8 x 1.5". presumably the head is wider than the 1.5" body, but that is fine.

    The burner was supplied with a Nero 9 essentials. Installation was over 1GB. WTF? If that is the essentials, what is the full package? :o

    Aha! I downloaded the generic lightscriber driver and now Nero has an option for the labels. However, the text is pixelated and the color is grey regardless of the font color (blue). :bleh:

    Intel to launch new CPUs 3Q10

    What does that mean for people like me with a limited $5K budget? Can I put together a system with 6 channels of RAM for less dough than the standard i7 980EX on X58?

    Not I, but some people use them for videos. The closest I get is using a flashlight to look for leopards or ellies or hippos, etc. around the tents at night.

    I wanted to print the disc name on the lightscriber side. However, I burned a disc and it completed as per usual without any dialog box for the lightscriber.

    The lower end Panasonics are not very competitive any more. I almost bought several in the early to late 2000's. I wonder if Panasonic will even stay in that segment. :sqnt: The real Toughbooks are mainly for commercial/institutional use.

    Wiring a house for LED

    I would just add some extra 120V circuits and switches, then install local lighting. In some years you may find an extreme, customized system rather obsolete or out of style.

    How do the images stay in register if burned twice? Another question is where is the laser for burning the label side of the disc? I don't see anything different from other optical writers.
