Come on, how else would I hear from Microsoft about the horrible virus my computer has?
Plus, the kind Indian-sounding person named "Eric" is willing to jump into my computer remotely to fix the problem for free! That's what I call service.
Based on the Robert Heinlein book. It was pretty good for an SF movie, even with a limited special effects budget.

I think the switch type and layout are the primary factors, so I'd advise you to read a bit of geekhack forum and decide what you'd like to try. A word of warning: Mechanical keyboard can be addictive!
Going to geekhack.org would be my advice as well. It's a great site for keyboard fans.
Now if people were clever the would polarize the headlights and everyone would wear sunglasses at night............
That would be an awesome solution. Circular polarization, or at a 45-degree angle?

Read Henry George's Progress and Poverty. The writing is clearer, and it offers ideas compatible with capitalism.
BTW, I don't want to suggest in any way that George was a communist. He was arguably more of a capitalist than most, in that he didn't want to tax capital at all -- or labor, for that matter -- just land (and by extension, natural resources with inherently fixed supply). Karl Marx's writing is a more difficult slog, and his importance is more how he was able to convince otherwise rational people to behave irrationally en masse, rather than economic ideas that would be useful to implement.
If our government commits an illegal act, who is able to enforce it?
Dunno. Coastguard?
But who guards the Coastguard?
Not that I have the urge to track down death caps or anything, but I have noticed that NOTHING seems to munch on or infect poison oak (at least where I live). It stays nice, glossy green until the leaves turn in the fall, without wilting or mold or any other ailment I can see on other plants. It would be interesting to see if the urushiol oil or something else protected it.
(of course, it should go without saying that those buttons should be extremely obvious, and the selection of candidates on page 1 should be randomized for each voter.)
Agreed. There is no reason that a computer screen cannot show candidates in random order for each race, and that would help lessen systemic error as well as ill-informed or lazy votes (lazy voters who just pick the first candidate in races would spread votes among all candidates).
Your modern world frightens and confuses me.
Okay, dropping my view down to zero, I found Level 7 and Canticle mentioned. That's just depressing.

We can prove this scientifically.
First, assume a spherical dictator. For example, Kim Jong-un.
