Whoah, nice! In addition the 16GB versions of these are about $2.00! I bought 4 of those and a 32GB for about $13. If I had the jing I'd buy every 16GB in stock because you can always use those when someone needs a driver or relatives want media. Thanks a lot David.by JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic
What are the chances one of those powerful interests at the roundtable want to blackmail Linus for one little backdoor? I can't imagine it not happening. * slightly off-topic tangent but if the world is here in 100 years can you imagine Artificial Intelligence crafting kernels and how they might look? If kernels are even relevant- probably a hybrid biological because of efficiency. Peopby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic
As far as I can follow (there's terminology I see I need brushing up on) one can sense the tension hasn't left the air.

For what it's worth, I also squeezed in two of the same units in the first place that were $9 apiece, namely these. It's always an afterthought why something is priced so low, and the other two I ordered in the $2 range of course, have jacks on all four directions meaning it's for where cables are okay hanging all over the place. So I did good, and when I put a few cents on Bluby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic

Remember my $19.00 worth of 2 HDMI splitters? Right when I checked the Feedback three days later and started getting suspicious, I get a PM saying the seller cancelled the order because his terrible employee set the listing to relist instead of delete.

Very cool little unit. I hope this reappears later this year because I think my Bluebird card works at Newegg (I blew the $14 on eJuice before seeing this - the good news being I've got enough nicotine to last until Thanksgiving lol).
