I'd say based on the fact that all your characters were lower case, and the overwhelming proportion of characters to digits, there are significantly fewer bits of entropy in your so-called random comment than you would have us believe.
I generally don’t buy products from certain companies. Amongst them Apple, Microsoft, Monsanto, Halliburton, Eli Lily, Elsevier, any **AA company (Sony gets a special mentioning for being in there twice), and so on.
So you don't buy anything ever? Have you ever eaten anything ever that was not organic? (monsanto), have you ever once used or purchased any product (undoubtedly involved microsoft software somewhere in the build/distribution pipeline). It's dumb to say "I don't buy from these companies" when you really have no choice but to support them with your every action.
home and end keys that go TO THE BEGINNING AND END OF A LINE. LIKE EVERY SANE COMPUTER SYSTEM ON THE PLANET!?!?!?!? what's that you say? I can just ctrl-shift-alt-apple-R-left arrow instead? IF I WANTED TO DO THAT KIND OF SHIT I'D JUST USE EMACS!!!!
I don't know anyone who's had an internship lately for under $15/hr in the computer science field. Most internships are looking for long-term hires and they shell out more money than you're really worth to get you interested in them. 8/hr sounds like those slave labor campus painting jobs were they call it an internship so naive chumps will work them.
How much have you looked around? I've never (in the past 3 years) had trouble finding an internship and see plenty of job prospects. I'm sure you could find something more interesting that pays more if you look.
First off I'd dump the cloud business, get a cheap little box and put a huge hard disk in it. It's cheap, super secure, nobody else owns/controls your data.
Then I set me up a backuppc server, it's super easy to set up (on ubuntu at least) then have all your machines regularly backing themselves up.
Backuppc has a very excellent web interface allowing you to request full or incremental backups at any time, and an awesome interface to allow you to push (restore) files to any of the systems you are backing up (i.e. files backed up from system A can be restored to system B).
at the end of each workday you do an incremental backup of your work machine, and push whatever files you need to sync back onto your other machines and vice versa. It's easy to schedule and script, and easy to use the web interface to do unscheduled backups/restores/browse and download backed up files
although I've recently been tending towards gnome, I really love a lot about KDE. I just wish they would forget about certain features for now and focus on stability and quality every-day features.
Specifically the "semantic desktop" I've used kde for years and never used it. Why the hell would I waste time tagging all my files? I have a sensible directory hierarchy which works just fine. I never find myself spending hours searching for stuff on my computer, because I know where all the things I need are, because I use them all the time. If I didn't know where something was that would imply I never use it, in which case, why am I spending time to tag things I never use? Just in case I might need it?
What I do need is for firefox to pick up on my application preferences (what opens up a zip, etc), for drag and drop to be snappy and accurate and always work, for ark to not suck so hard, for my folderviews on my desktop to always be up to date, look good, not pile up icons in weird ways, etc, etc.
I like that kde is very forward thinking in their features, but sometimes I'd like them to live a little more in the present. If you had an awesome super-intelligent automatic tagger that would let me search with vague queries and get exactly what I want, that'd be great, but spending your time on a dressed up database that tracks all kinds of stuff I have to put in by hand is a waste of everybody's time.
As far as I am concerned kate is the best text editor in unix today. It's syntax highlighting is far and away the best (the only thing that compares is scite, which is designed to demo the same editor class kate is based off), it does everything. I can open up stuff on an ftp server and edit it as if it were local, I can edit any text file with any extension and get correct highlighting, I can do all my building and testing in the terminal.
And, the loveley vertical text makes options easy to see and not space consuming. The only thing I wish is that gnome would get their act together and make something as complete as kate so I could have everything looking gtk.
So wait, what you're saying is that lines which were built with huge amounts of public money, by companies with a publicly mandated monopoly should be... open? to the public?
This is gonna blow my mind to chunks to the milky way.
What we (the people) should do is tell comcast and ted turner to go suck a fat one, take back the lines that we paid for, and turn them over to co-ops who actually want to give us better service at a lower price.
My mythtv box will no longer be able to play ripped dvd's to my massive 40" gateway destination CRT (that's right, I've got one).
Err. wait, this digital cable mumbo jumbo is a total racket anyways. The more the make it an expensive pain in the ass to watch tv, the more people will just watch stuff on hulu (with fraps running in the background). And besides, even in you need to be the biggest super nerd with expensive equipment to crack their ridiculous encryption, if one person in the whole world can do it, they'll put it on the internet, and we'll all have it for free on our own time the way we want it.
Perhaps the should consider a convenient, inexpensive, and value-additive method of selling me their content.
After getting totally wasted the other night, scientists discover that dynamite can cause explosions of living things, also cars and old washing machines!
It's profitable to build jails?
Unless the demand for license plates has skyrocketed since I last checked, I'm pretty sure prisons are a huge drain on government resources as it's extremely expensive to incarcerate people, way more expensive than any labor they might provide.
And as for drug enforcement, the government spends way more money tracking down drug users and dealers than they make from the fines they (attempt to) collect from crackheads. If certain drugs were legal, the government would make tons of money in taxes, and major criminal income sources would evaporate.
They should make an app like this for weed smokers and growers so people can buy local and avoid the creepy criminal dudes. Also they should legalize weed, it's safer than alcohol in every way and hemp is a miracle plant. What's up with that?
Because attackers will certainly have difficulty cracking your crappy wep key in 5 minutes or less, or guessing that your username and password is "linksys"/"admin"
And it's only if you have web management enabled? who does that anyways?

No worries, I'm sure that with their new laws, they'll only use this technology on those pupils who don't look "white enough"

I run a really dope cloud computing system that never fails. It's called ssh into my server and use nano.

I think you had a little typo there, but I fixed it.
...hmmm, what could make my computer better? Eureka! 16 more buttons!
Seriously though, this might be nice for a game like wow, or torchlight, where people have lots of different pew pews to shoot
"We need to convince consumers to not want free stuff, but in fact to pay for things that can be perfectly copied for free by anyone"
seems pretty reasonable to me. It's hard for me to think of a single group of people in all of history who actually wanted free stuff.
I really hope they get the patent because then nobody else will be able to do it.
In other news, I use linux?
This is like psych 101, don't tell subjects what they are doing, or they'll just game you and your results will suck. Add internet. Same concept

Awesome! I can finally get this mobile emitter working again so I can get the hell out of sick bay.
With all that crap in the MS system tray, it's a wonder anyone has any idea when new things appear on their machine.
I'm totally never buying a palm because of this.
Wait.
maybe it's because their stuff sucks and is super behind the times.
It took them how long to put wifi in one their devices? Treos have practically never had wifi, what is up with that?
