"Linux Mint on the Surface Pro. WiFi and touch don't work out of the box, but pen and Type Cover work great. "

Stephen Colbert beat you to this joke over a week ago.

Given that I, stationed in Europe, do not watch anything Colbert, this only shows me how undervalued a genius I am.

Unicomp seems to be well off, Wikipedia: "Recently, Unicomp has begun expanding their product line. Due to customer demand showing that this was no longer a special request, Unicomp now sells beige, black, and colored key caps, with printing and without. In addition, Unicomp sells replacement parts for older IBM/Lexmark keyboards, and will repair just about any keyboard manufactured by themselves, IBM, or Lexmark." (emphasis mine)

No wonder if you are based on the Model M (I own two, both from the beginning of the 90ies).

Bad thing that the criminals are those who are seen as successful. Somehow, values clarification did not work in the past century (so the starting point, strangely, coincides with the establishment of the Federal Reserve System - no, i will not mention the air of the "Elders of Zion" - forgery or not - except in a side note).

I recall that there were rumours that TLAs scanned e-mails for certain keywords which gave birth to sigsalikes containing lists of them. I am too lazy to determine the time this was (can't remember exactly, perhaps a decade ago), but I think the Chinese were not (really) on the net yet, thus did not invent the path to destroy privacy.

From your ID (erroneus) I infer that this must be a fine piece of sarcasm.

Obviously, the release cycles have to be accelerated in order to avoid poor quality control, as faster cycling cycles will ensure that bugs will be found earlier.

the concept of "more features == better"

... is there to press you into buying the most expensive instance to get all features that you need, besides a lot of gimmicks you'll never use. At least, this is my experience, especially with cars, but also with hifi-equipment as well as a variety of household appliances, among others.

Wikipedia sometimes helps: "The name initially stood for "Yet Another iNDEXer". The Russian word "" ("Ya") corresponds to the English personal pronoun "I", making "ndex" a bilingual pun on "index". ...".

A pun indeed.

So once soap box, ballot box, and jury box have failed, what is left?

Imagine the FED goes bankrupt, not able to pay the military.

everything you say is the exact opposite of the truth

Interesting, as this assumption worked for me as a child when I had to read books from "East Germany" (family circumstances) though living in "West Germany".

But without mosquitoes and maple syrup.

But with gnats, be sure. Granted, maple syrup only for those who avoid refined sugar and don't take brown sugar.
