I have a transparent plastic box of my own, with cables twist-tied and sorted into labeled zip bags. The box stays, but cables come and go. I cleared out some PS/2 related cables recently, after not owning any hardware with that port f

Topo Chico gang! It's my favorite too, in particular the 12oz glass bottles. I really like how it has thick bubbles and doesn't easily go flat. Their 'Sabores' (flavored) line is nice too, even if I find it doesn't

I think what jawns is getting at is precisely because you can't price-discriminate on the payment method, you might as well increase prices for everything in order to cover transaction fees (operating under the assumption that most cus

Most (all?) banks in the US are FDIC insured up to $250k per person. Even if tax payer money hadn't been lent to banks to keep them afloat, provided you had less than $250k across any banks that might've gone under, you'd hav

Dropbox often recruits at my alma mater, they'll always have stacks of free 10gb/15gb space expansion cards (with some redeemable code) to hand out. Big hit with the students.
