    PDA with AAAs and USB

    I haven't seen any PDAs that run on AAs or AAAs for a long time. The most recent PDA that does is the Sony SJ10. Other models that used AAAs are the Palm III series, which are quite ancient and may not have the speed, display quality, nor the storage to fit your needs. If you're still willing...

    Does Anyone Know How To Use Bookmarks in Winamp?

    Plain WinAMP doesn't have a bookmarking feature but you can add it through user-made plugins. A search for bookmark" plugins finds two plugins that seem to do what you want (SubTunes and Amarok Plugin).

    Monitor eyestrain and amber glasses

    Have you tried lowering the color temperature of your monitor? I prefer my monitors to be at 6500 K but you might like yours at 5000 K-5500 K which is less blue and mimics daylight more closely. You also might want to check your refresh rate if you're using a CRT monitor. I like it to be at...

    Knife legality in Canada?

    This site describes the knife laws in Canada. The info appears to be several years old but I do not think they're no longer relevant. From my own experience, I have never had trouble carrying around my Leatherman Wave in its sheath on my belt, even in when I was high school. However, I...

    Nexxtech 1W LED

    I had one and as far as I can tell, it's basically a Nuwai Q1 with a different body style.

    The Source is unloading their RadioShack branded batteries (NOT the Nexxtech ones). My father picked up some CR123s for $3.00 each. The battery packages are stamped "07A03" on the back. Maybe it's the expiry date? If so, I would take to say 2007-04-03. I tested one with a multimeter and it...

    Surefire G2 for Home Defense

    The Straight Dope is a newspaper column, so the author cannot possibly provide an extensive rebuttal of Malcolm's views. But the author points out that crime in the UK rose sharply well before the banning of handguns. However, you may be right about him finding evidence to support a preexisting...

    Help needed with telescopic baton

    WD-40 does indeed contain a lubricant that does not dry up (mineral oil).[1] I do not think it is a good lube for bike chains because it is too light. It does not resist dirt or stay put as well as specialized chain lubes.

    Surefire G2 for Home Defense

    Although crime in the UK is high, there's no evidence that it is the result of disarming the people. This is according to The Straight Dope.

    Their Nexxtech 1 W Luxeon headlamp might be worth picking up. Does anyone know if it's equivalent to another brand and model?

    Tips on how to speed up a windows computer

    I did a complete reinstall on my notebook just over a month ago. I followed the steps in Koroush Ghazi's Tweaking Companion. It is a very comprehensive guide with instructions on how to install Windows and drivers, tweak settings, shut off resource-hogging services, and run utilities to enhance...

    Report on new Dorcy AAA colours at Mark's After picking up a MagLED upgrade for my 2D from Canadian Tire, I stopped by Mark's Work Wearhouse. They have Dorcy 1 AAA LED lights in a display tray at the checkout counter that is obviously intended to appeal to their women customers. They had three...

    Canadian retail stores-lots of new lights!

    Hmm... you can order bulbs directly from Brinkmann. I have no idea if there's any retail store that stocks them. Alternatively, you could try using Surefire lamps for the G2 or 3rd party LED upgrades for the G2.

    Canadian retail stores-lots of new lights!

    Canadian Tire has a sale on many of their newest lights: http://tinyurl.com/p57hk I just picked up a Noma High Pressure Xenon Flashlight (I believe it's a rebranded Brinkmann Maxfire. They look the same save for the name on the grip).

    F04 BeamShaper not tight enough?

    I have the same setup as you: L1 + F04, also for around a year. I've noticed that the F04 was rather loose during the past few months and it would slide off on its own when held head down. However, it's been pretty warm the past few days and it just rained today. Now the beamshaper doesn't slide...
