Oh, my stars and garters!

Well, somehow, I missed the release date of the Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25. It was released on July 1and available via a number of online retailers, including Amazon. But, sadly, it’s already sold out! Yes, just nine days after becoming available the most awesome Nerf belt-fed machine gun ever dreamed of by geeks and, one supposes, children, everywhere has sold out.

Naturally, I added it to my wishlist.

If you think Fedora is just a hat, the rest of this may not matter to you…

However, if you recognize that the Fedora Project is the free version of RedHat Linux, you might be interested in this. With the latest version of Fedora, there was a little something tucked away in the wiki about making a “live” version of Fedora on a USB key. You can download this little application and use it to totally automate getting a live, bootable version of the latest Fedora on the USB key of your choosing with hardly any work at all.
If you’ve ever had any interest in carrying Linux around in your pocket, grab this and try it out!
