Comment Re:Wrist watch is for style, not gadget (Score 0) 466

I have the same watch (Citizen sky hawk) and frankly its the best I ever got.
My old watch was a Timex that had analog and digital. It took 2 batteries, and as soon as one of the battery dropped a few tenth of a volt, the analog clock would stop working. I had the analog clock battery changed, but it only lasted 3 months. I just relied on the digital clock of the watch.
I got pretty tired of changing batteries. So I got an Eco-Drive, and bonus, it syncs with the nearest atomic clock signal.
Pretty neat.

Submission + - New laser makes pirates wish they wore eye-patches 1

vieux schnock writes: The New Scientist has an article about a new laser developed by a company in Farnborough, UK, aiming at deterring modern high-seas pirates. Devised as a "warning shot" to "distract suspected pirates rather than harm them", the meter-wide bean can scan the pirates' 6-metre skiffs and make it difficult for them to aim their AK-47 or rocket-propelled grenades at the ship.

Actually, I never got to "The Last Component". As soon as something major broke down, I repaired it or replaced it, but after a while I just bought a new computer with a complete new set of hard drives, CPU, memory, etc. Only the IDE hard drives got to jump from one computer to another but that's about to end as I embark, like everyone, on SATA drives.
