Is there any reason I shouldn't jump on this Groupon?
I know Westinghouse isn't a great brand, but for that price it seems like I could replace it in a year and not feel too bad...
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Can you go look at the picture quality of that TV in a store? That's a great price. (I just paid $550-ish for a 42" LG 1080p 120 HZ TV.)

Hm, maybe. Depends on how fast they sell out.
Also, I don't have an extra $349 right now. If I did I'd use it to replace the Tivo that's still giving me the grey screen of death once a week.

Westinghouse isn't a great brand and Amazon has it for $399, so you're not really saving much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Damn, for a second there, I thought Jessica was getting a talking internet fridge, or something
Sad now.

Okay, this is something I'd kinda not been paying attention to, because even though I do a lot of the SSL purchasing and arrangement of installation for my company, we don't have a choice of vendors, so knowing the difference between them wasn't important.
What the FUCK is the difference between, say, a Verisign and a GeoTrust cert? Why is there such a huge variation in costs for what seems to be the same scope? Are they doing anything differently, or is it really, as I read somewhere, name brand and "my browser bar is green" that demands extra dosh?
We have some huge gaps in subject matter expertise and I'd rather have your guys' high level knowledge before I talk to the other domain-working people and ask them questions.
(gaps like when I ask "Who's our IIS SME?" I'm answered by "The person who set up all our corporate websites." "I AM THAT PERSON. Who is the IIS SME who actually knows anything about IIS?" (my answers are usually "Apache can do that, so I assume IIS will too, but I don't know where or how easily.")

So I just got a new computer--a Raspberry Pi. It costs $39.99.
I have it connected to my TV via HDMI. It's running a version of Debian. I'm using the Midori browser for this post.
I'm amazed at how fast it is, given how cheap it is.

I didn't so much mean what it was capable of as much as I meant what tommy was tricking out his with.
