I had to deactivate the "Secure Boot" option in order to be able to
boot Debian Installer's USB drive, which I prepared using Unetbootin.
Other than that, it's all stock.

The onboard graphics depend on the CPU. In my case, it's HD4600, which
is the fastest you can get with a socketed CPU.
It's supported by the Intel driver in Wheezy for most things, however
now in Sid it is used 100%. I can do light gaming with it (I play Braid
a whole lot).

I got tired of listening to the recording on the phone at the movie
theater.  So I bought the album.  I got kicked out of a theater the
other day for bringing my own food in.  I argued that the concession
stand prices were outrageous.  Besides, I hadn't had a barbecue in a
long time.  I went to the theater and the sign said adults $5 children
$2.50.  I told them I wanted 2 boys and a girl.  I once took a cab to
a drive-in movie.  The movie cost me $95.
