I also have this keyboard. I find it to be really solidly built and the lighting effects are a nice touch, but would agree that it doesn't seem to make my typing any better then using the keyboard on my macbook pro. FWIW, I originally got the keyboard with brown switches but then sent it back for blue switches and that seemed to make a big different in how it felt. What type of switches did you get?

not sure if this goes without saying, but a huge one you missed is some sort of VCS. Use what you know and be sure to commit early and often. It can seem like a hassle to begin with, but once it saves you once you'll be very thankful your using it.

Ziptastic is another option that seems to work well. http://getziptastic.com also plays nice with javascript and has a ruby gem.

using the combo

"wide_caret": true, "caret_style": "phase"

seems to work nicely, both wide and phasing!

Re:Why do credit card forms ask for Visa, Mastercard, etc.? on Friday January 31, 2014 @03:35PM (#7159032)
We do stress that point, that the barrier to donate should be as low as possible. Still, some churches go as far to say donations can't/shouldn't be made on credit do to their individual beliefs, and would only take ACH transfers as they pull directly from a bank account.

Working for nonprofits and church's, I know we do it because AMEX and others charge higher rates per transaction than say VISA, thus some clients only take VISA and giving a select list of options, lets the user know to use that type of card.
