You have already been given two links where it is available. Sure, it is a loss leader at many places, but that doesn't make in unavailable. Why do you insist it isn't available? Will it make you happy if I keep buying them for $5 or $1 or whatever and sell to you? I'll take your 50% markup.
In the US, Microcenter. I've picked up 4 so far. They usually have a limit of one per customer.

Actually, at the time I posted this, it was listed as $0.99. No, really.
The Oculus Rift comment was lame. Of course a Mac notebook isn't going to have graphics up to snuff for VR. How many PC notebooks are up to the task? 2? 3 maybe? Sure, Mac desktops suck for VR, but this article isn't about those.
If you played the 'Harpoon' paper and pencil naval wargame in the late 80s, early 90s - not the later computer game that was based on the board game - this system was available to British ships in the Falkland Island scenarios. Given that the rules for the game were based on openly published data, I don't see how this is really 'news' to anyone. A quick search shows that there are references to this system in other publications in the 90s as well. The game effect was to cause planes at low altitude to break off their attack. For planes at very low altitude, namely Argentine pilots trying to fly below the engagement altitude of British SAMs, there was a percentage chance the plane would crash into the water.
Take a look at why and how you're going through consumer grade equipment so quickly. Are you using it in a hot/dusty or otherwise detrimental environment? If so, buying expensive "enterprise" equipment is wasting your money. Unless you've had a rash of bad luck, there's no reason for so many failures.
Can't RTFA, as its slashdotted, but if I buy a song from iTMS, they already know what I've bought from them, I'd expect them to tailor ads to my choices. They shouldn't be transmitting that data anywhere, as they already have it. Now, if I rip a CD in iTunes, and that data is reported back to iTMS, that's bad, even if they strip out personally identifying info. Though I'd call it spyware, not malware.
CNN reports: By a 251-174 vote Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives agreed to renew 16 of the act's provisions that were set to expire at year's end.
Ok, why is this in Ask Slashdot? There's no question being asked, unless its the implied: "Yet another bogus 'best of list' has been posted. How shall we flame it?"
And to avoid being modded off topic, this list was pretty lame. They can't even get the name of the main character in Space: 1999 correct. Hint: John Koenig was the name of the fictional commander on Moonbase Alpha, Walter Koenig is an actor.
If you're a motion picture actor in the US, you're (most likely) in the Screen Actors Guild. You're in a union, with all the benefits thereof.
Programmers are probably more equivelent to crew members in film. Who are also unionized.
Are you suggesting that prorgrammers unionize?

My Abit KT7 board which had been running fine for over 4 years blew 3 caps this week.
Anyone got a replacement Socket A board that supports PC133 RAM and not DDR?

That would be 'nobody'. It was a perfect game after all.
"It's a UNIX system! I know this!!!"
Did Crichton and Spielberg pay a license for that?
