I worked for a retailer that had to follow MAPs and have to call BS on that. Amazon and other reputable retailers make you sign in (or depending on the manufacturer add the item to your cart) to see the price. Manufacturers accept that as complying with the MAP since it requires explicit...

Safer in what way? Better in what way? Are we talking security? Flexibility? Ease of use?

The Corsair is aluminum. Very solid, heavy build. If you like extra clicky keys a la the Model M make sure you're looking at the Cherry MX Blue version (the different switches have different levels of tactility).

If you're a fan of mechanical keyboards like the Dases (Dasi?) the Corsair K70s use the same Cherry MX switches, so the keys feel the same, plus they're backlit, which I find hard to go without now. They also have a really swanky and tank-like aluminum chassis.

I for one think this is hilarious. I am curious why it dropped so far so fast, though. Kickstarter does let people back out of pledges (it's just discouraged) and I can definitely believe plenty of people will do that on something like this once they think about it, but so many all at once...

It's because police departments are worried people with a high IQ will get bored with police work and leave after expensive training. Courts have said, and I personally agree with this, that even though it may not be a wise policy it is a rational way to reduce turnover and therefore legal.

Yup, vnstat sounds like exactly what you want.

I dunno, John Philip Sousa's marches are pretty incredible. And the Battle Hymn of the Republic always gets me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v582kPp43Mg I do have to give it to the Brits for their Navy ship names, though. We get ships named after people and places while theirs are called...

I think it's unfortunate that people get sucked in by the novelty of a Raspberry Pi server, because these things are an astonishingly poor value when co-located or rented (home servers are a different story). In the Raspberry Pi Foundation's own words, real-world performance is something like a...

The details are a bit different, but they've basically made that movie (and TV show) already -- it's called Stargate. The (ha-larious) video in the linked article even uses clips from Stargate when talking about the, er, stargates (they literally call them that) the Earth Defense Force...

Not a good sign. CentralNic is the company behind most of the ridiculous third-level domains like .co.com as well as failed attempts to rebrand country-code TLDs like .pw (remember how the "professional web" took off? me neither).

I assume you have evidence to back up such a damning claim, right?

Your own posts, including this thread right here, have done far more damage to your reputation than anyone else ever could.

Okay so I obviously spaced out and read this as measuring LET offer tags rather than LEB offer tags when I posted this, but my point still kind of stands because other/previous authors did tag things a bit differently than mpkossen. The location tag numbers probably are valid, though.

There's no consistency in tagging posts -- some people don't do it at all while some spam tags like crazy -- so while this may be cool from an "ooh lists" perspective it really doesn't tell us anything about offers other than the fact that providers in some areas apparently use tags more than...

What I don't get is: why the fuck is it shaped like a triangle? How am I supposed to carry this around? There's a good reason every portable device ever is flat.

This is a terrible blow against free speech. Imagine a politician using this decision to have true yet negative information, which could decide an election, removed...
