Please don't give Bennett any ideas. I would be very happy indeed if someone were to remove from his possession _all_ his keyboards.

In fact, arguably tablets and phones are media _consumption_ devices, not media creation. Leave the media creation to the big names in IP, lest you infringe their property. Go back to consuming (spending), preferably multiple times for each device that you own. Can't have you watching on your phone media that is licensed only for your PC, that would be stealing from somebody's intellectual property.

Well, I found Server Core, but it looks like it has all the disadvantages of a GUI, and doesn't even support all Windows Server features:

It still requires RDP, still requires running a graphical server (though not full desktop), and won't run Powershell since it won't run .NET.

Well, we tried!

Hi Jesse. I don't see mention of which switches are in the buttonplank. I'm rather partial to the Cherry Blues, will there be an option for them? I see mention of "switches quiet enough to use in a meeting" but an option for "switches which give terrific feedback" would be most welcome!

If you have no need for the uTron (can't type a mu in ASCII) in the pile then I would love to adopt it! Considering the price I think that the folks at Geekhack [1] would be most interested in comparing your keyboard to the uTron, the Kinesis, and the Truly Ergonomic. Let me know if you are interested in having me write a review. I can point you to my other Geekhack reviews if you would like.

By the way, I also mod my boards (reduced spring pressure, and even leather keycaps) so I know to appreciate a product made _just the way you like it_.

[1] Keyboard enthusiast website, I'm sure that you've familiar with it.

Windows Server has been doing this for a while, with some versions coming with full UI and others with just the CLI.

CLI for Windows Server? As in something vaguely resembling SSH? How do I get it?

I administer a bunch of Linux servers, not because I hate Windows but rather because "sudo aptitude update" is so much easier than click-mouse-drag-doubleclick-right-click especially with network lag. If there exists a true SSH replacement for Windows I would love to try it.

You say it like it's a good thing.. a big country isolated, hated and full of unhappy people. What could go wrong? I live right next door to them, and I'd much rather see them happy and enjoying life, because that way they'd probably be lot less likely to start new conflicts.

I love this comment. This is exactly how myself and most other Israelis feel about Gaza. Too bad that Western media does not portray this about my area or any other conflict zone.

KeePass. It has strong encryption options, it isn't tied to any site or service, the (encrypted) database can be synced however you want (such as with Dropbox) and used on any devices you want (including phones), it's got all sorts of options for generating passwords, automatically typing them, automatically expiring them, etc., and it's fairly light weight.

Or Lastpass, which doesn't have to be tied to the Lastpass site or service, but if you do opt to use the site or service then you get automatic syncing of the (encrypted) database on any decices you want (including phones).
