Phoronix: Phoronix Premium Black Friday Deal To Support Open-Source News, Linux Hardware Testing

It's that time of the year with "Black Friday" this week and the start of the holiday shopping season.

Thanks yeah for some combinations of PayPal they allow messages and other behavior they don't seem to... In any event when finding no matching email addresses or unable to decipher based on name / email combinations, I just email the folks then to get clarity on the username.
