Sony Vaio Type G series
The biggest hurdle with a Sony laptop (as with most of their products) is the high entry price. Apparently the finish is worth the premium.

Upcoming Movie Discussion
You didn't like the hollywood happy ending? Because the director's cut has the alternate ending, where . I thought the sequel looked like 28 days Later, but with a sequel-amount of zombies and blood. So minus story and plus gore. Meh, I won't be rushing out.

What did you want to be?
One of my earliest (school) memories is back when my (second-grade, IIRC) teachers invited us to read from a bookcase, and I asked if I might be allowed to write some. (They said yes.) Kinda makes me have to confront the fact that I really want to write, even though I've been avoiding it for my entire adult life (as it isn't a safe career). Actually, I'm just about to do some tertiary-level astronomy. I have been thinking about learning more about it for a while. Cool!

RAM: Quality vs Quantity
Matias' comments on RAM are pretty spot on; some of the cheaper box-shifters supply RAM that is measurably slower than the premium stuff, even when set to the same timings (wiki). There is a new, lower-price SLI-ready nForce chipset motherboard for about

... And history (and Rome: Total Realism)! Maybe I can give you some advice or something. I want to become a writer and/or actor. And guess what? I’m confident that I’ll succeed in becoming a writer, an actor, or both. Of course I’m prepared for the very possible possibility that I’ll fail, thus I haven’t set myself up for disappointment, but… I like my chances. What can I say? I’m optimistic to the point of almost being self-delusional. It's not about your commitment and talent, it has a lot to do with luck, too. (Unless you are just interested in writing ANYTHING to make money, then you can become quite successful writing newpaper columns or advertisement scripts, etc.) Isn’t being meta-human satisfying enough? Nothing is ever enough!- How was the next day?

If you're asking about viscous, then you obviously haven't needed a word to describe how thick a liquid is. Viscosity is a measurable quality of oils, to use the most obvious and widespread example. Some oils need a higher viscosity to ensure they keep engine parts coated, even when the engine is off, for example; lower viscosity means higher transport speed from one area of application to a linked one. There is also a need for a way to describe solids that act as liquids, like glaciers and glass, over centuries. It is not unusual to describe someone's sarcasm as "dripping" from their words/lips. Making it more viscous means adding more potency, for one thing.- TSL Restoration Project: The Phantom Deadline

Yeah, I kinda forgave them for not explaining exactly what the "open air experiment that would be contaminated by anything that fell in", because I think it isn't necessary to explain every cause of super powers ... but that was just silly.- Which Polyhedral Are You?
