Cardboard Warfare

I'd like a new keyboard

And I'd like it to have volume control on it.

And not to have Power/Sleep/etc. keys getting in the way pointlessly.

And not to be too loud on keypresses.

Any suggestions?

And so's my wife

*Not that going to his journal is gonna get you any of this stuff. He just sends me emails. Loads of emails. I swear. Julie occasionally refers to him as "Wife Number Two".

Is this what they call owning the supply chain?

Ticketmaster owns GetMeIn.com, the largest (I think) reseller of second-hand concert tickets in the UK.

Which means that whenever a popular concert starts selling tickets they essentially sell a large block of tickets straight to scalpers, who then put them straight back on the market on their other site, whereupon Ticketmaster gets a second cut of the cash.

It's ingenious, it really is.
