But it is new hardware - for the same price...

I use Google TV (one of the original TV sets that Sony made) and I love it most of the time. Granted, the giant remote is confusing for most non-techy folks (wife, visitors) but that just depends on the hardware you get (it looks like Vizio's remote is pretty slick). I'm just getting into using Plex to stream my…

Oh nice. I've never been in that situation before, but I can see it being useful. Can't have too many tools considering all the situations you could find yourself in.

Does your school offer any sort of program to give you a free or heavily discounted copy of Office? It seems like most schools these days have some sort of agreement with Microsoft in order to get Office into students' hands.

I think the point of using SysRq is when Linux (namely, X server) freezes up. That way you can get to the point where you can enter commands.

There's an option to turn off the ads in the extension's options page. It's the "I don't want to support you (turn off the few ads)" checkbox.

I haven't read the article yet because I can't stop staring at the disgusting touchpad on the laptop on the left.

This program might not give you the Linux experience you'll be needing for your internship. Usually, doing things manually, the hard way, leads to that kind of knowledge.

At least she's walking around in bra and shorts...
