    These solutions to password safety are all so complicated! See my simple solution here:http://tinyurl.com/9pqp7

  2. Review - ZoneAlarm Free

    6.0.631.002 (Jul 24, 2005)

    I've been using ZoneAlarm free edition and ZoneAlarm Pro on all my machines at home and at work (6 total) for more than three years. During that time I have had ZERO problems with the programs, and ZERO intrusions.

    I have to assume that the people who are having trouble are either a) technologically challenged, or b) have attention spans too limited to peremit them to grasp the simple operation of this excellent product.

    Current technology (pun intended) puts the maximum capacity of an AA rechargeable at about 23-2500. It'd a matter of volume. When you come up with a way to increase that, call me. We'll get rich.

    As to that fast charger, one word: HEAT! Good luck with that bit of chemistry, as well.

    Wondering how you know Oxyride isn't suitable for digital cameras. Have you had an opportunity to test, or have you seen performance graphs?

    There are millions of non-techies like my wife who eat up non-rechargeables like they were candy. There will be a huge market.

    Another thing: all rechargeables lose charge in storage. As a professional photographer whose cameras all use AA's I carry a bunch of rechargeables, battery tester, charger(s) etc., but I still have several sets of non-rechargeables for those times when I either forget or can't recharge. During a hike on the Appalachian Trail last year, I carried nothing but Eveready Lithiums. They are expensive, but they will ALWAYS be there when you need them.

    If the voltage curve even approaches that of lithium, Panasonic's gonna make a bundle!
