Re:Install Ubuntu On Your Chromebook on Sunday August 25, 2013 @10:07AM (#6272031)
Tried Crouton on my Acer C7 Chromebook a few months back, and it was buggy as hell. Switched to the Chrubuntu script, and it's been a dream. I'm surprised it's not mentioned at all.

Just keep refreshing.
The athletics department funds itself and is entirely separate from the academics budget.
Another person in the comments there won the contest when the reps asked him to change his Facebook cover photo, but they wouldn't honor the win because they actually meant profile photo instead. I'd be surprised if they really give up the prize to anyone.

I saw his responses and realized how fortunate I was to not have read Gizmodo in several years.

Here are some of my other favorite quotes from him:

"The burden of proof is on you. These guys did something, showed it to the world, and the typical armchair experts who usually scream PHOTOSHOPPED! or FAKE! are doing exactly that from their offices, dens and basements."

"Yes, and the go camera video is also faked. And all the newspaper and TV coverage. I'm so tired of the armchair FAKE experts who don't have a fucking clue."
