Does these things come with nethack?
If they do, they need much more than 10 days of battery time in order to complete the game.

It was made for seti@home, and is working constantly on that, and breaking the X-Box key when the seti@home code needs to "phone home" to get a longer set of jobs.
That's why iTunes has that "Connect to Internet when needed" option. It's so that when you sync your iPod the iPod can send its latest batch of results to seti@home and download new work to do.

Yeah, I know. My first thought when I saw "scroll-wheel" was "mouse", so I sorta ran with it. ... Into a wall, I guess. :-)

Karma to burn!

This is Slashdot - ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which we will not put.
