I need a high powered affordable machine. Um, for what? Saying "High-powered" and "affordable" is pretty vague and it points you in opposite directions. What programs you gonna run ect? How much power do you need, what are you looking to spend? Is this for school/work? Are there certain programs that your professor/boss recommends you be able to run? Check out the specs of the programs you want to run then.... Just hop on a website like dell and start poking around. www1.us.dell.com/content/products/category.aspx/notebooks?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhsCan't give you any advice w/o any specifics, other than make certain you have TV out lol, that's always convenient.

Depends what you want. If you're gonna buy a notebook, might as well get a good one.
Little multimedia features are really handy. -TV Out -Pen Pad Screen is nice for taking notes in school.
If it's just for Microsoft word, Internet Explorer, well about any new notebook you can find can run those no problem. If you want to play FFXI on it, go look at some websites, see what graphic's cards they have, and do a google search on the graphics card.

Got win, only AF that dropped was BST, it was the 1st or 2nd kill in dyanmis when that dropped lol. Also got a 100 currency drop.
There was a lot of sac pulling, to get to Angra {Mega Boss} as quickly as possible. It's kind of hard to both farm and get win. EO did great for it's first time out.

I laughed at the part where it said "if you are familiar with this question, you'll never unzip your pants". Guess there goes my sex life.

I've told a few people about this, most thought it was funny, so I'll narrate and tell the entire story. For the first time ever on Alakzham, Paladins across servers put their differences aside to combat the Fatuity that is Jinghles, who claimed that a Pld/Blm could hold hate better than a Pld/War. These Paladins united to form MegaZord. However, MegaZord alone was not able to defeat the tireless Jinghles. It was learned that the Admins of Alakzham had fought a separate battle with the bane of both Monks and Paladins. ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/jobs.html?fjob=5;mid=1130704831146463623;page=6When Jinghles complained to the Admins about his plummeting score, they wrote: Still Jingles was unsatisfied, so he tried again to get the Admins to intervene and fix his score, to which the response was... Shortly after, the Paladins sought out the wise and mighty admins (ok it was me who made the request lol). ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=3;mid=1146380845192756411;num=7;page=1The Paladins and Admins united and formed UltraZord, which blasted Jinghles' thread the hell out of Alakzham.com. To which Jinghles response was that everyone but him is a fool and we are oppressing his rights to speak freely. ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/jobs.html?fjob=5;mid=1146608824298473203;num=17;page=1Jinghles has not since returned, and if he does, UltraZord will be waiting for him. I don't know how the Monks tolerated that crap, but I have to say, it was all really funny lol. Edit: If you actually want to see what Jinghles wrote, you have to turn your post-filter to read sub-default posts lol.

I have rarely if ever seen an EO thread stay on topic. I consider any action which results in an individual's own death to be self-destructive, especially when there was nothing man made which influenced the death. If you do not consider an animal drowning itself self-destructive, we can discuss murder rates. its unarguable that humans are the most self destructive, and enviromentally desctructive species around. No it's not What % of male Japanese fighting fish kill each other to what % of humans kill each other? Well, if you throw 100 male fighting fish in a tank and only 1-2 come out alive, that's a murder rate of 98-99% in a few minutes. I don't know what the human murder rate is, but if you throw 100 humans into a room, they don't all instantly kill each other, so it's less than 98-99%. We can go buy 100 fighting fish, throw them into an aquarium and test this. We can also go buy 100 humans, throw them into an aquarium and test this. Now if you throw 100 male fighting fish into a big ocean, and they don't find each other, the murder rate goes to 0%. Similarily, if you throw 100 male humans in the ocean, and they don't find each other, their murder rate also goes to 0. Is there any evidence which supports that human beings are the most destructive? Can you prove that humans are more self-destructive than every last species? Have you run controlled tests comparing the self - destructiveness of humans to the self - destructiveness of every other last species? To my knowledge tests have not been run, and will not be run since every animal rights group on the planet would protest it.

Codeine I can't follow you =/ First I bring up praying mantis where a mom kills the father after it gives birth, also the Japanese Fighting Fish which kill each other. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_fishThen you throw out and underline "self-destructive", so I gave an example of a species that often kills itself individually. Lemmings kill themselves by falling off of cliffs or drowning in small pools due to fatigue and population control, it says so in your wikepdia entry. I never talked about different species killing each other. I did say individual members of a species kill each other and listed well known examples. I guess if you want to think that only humans harm each other or themselves you can.

Lemmings are pretty suicidal, that's pretty self destructive.

How about the praying mantis which eats its mate after it gives birth?
What about the Japanese fish which has genders which kill each other on sight? BTW, HTF is it that a spieces of fish which kills its own isn't eliminated through natural selection?
Oh, there are plenty of insects, fish, animals, whatever that mess each other up, they just aren't technologically advanced enough to nuke yet other yet.

I think these missions are fairly easy, however also a real pain, there isn't much to them, they are just long and time consuming. I don't look back on beating Diablos as a real victory. Oryu is not big deal, ppl just have to use 2hrs properly. 2-5 requires good kiters and ppl not to heal the mobs.
6-4 will be hell.
Must have been nice to have a static that was skilled which showed up, all of us do not have that. I'm on my 2nd static right now, hope it lasts, and I hope 1 SMN learns not to panic while he's doing Astral Flow when nothing is attacking him.
Team work is critical, however as I've seen you say "not everyone has a brain, it's only a theory", and if I've found a glitch to move on after 4-5 attempts of seeing someone doing something really stupid, well I'm gonna use the glitch. Even if a GM says the 2-5 glitch is ok, I still think it's low and that it's cheating never the less, however glitches will never be my 1st option.

Shalyn you weren't there that day where CaptainChaos, Saadia, and I tried it 4-5x. That was the 3-4 run for each of us and we just said the hell with it. We'd always get the kiter who died in 2 seconds, or the ranger who woul heal the mammets 40% or more.
I kited the mammets, tanked the mammets, and acted as a healer for the mammets, but I can't play 6 jobs, I can only play one, and I got tired of repeatedly paying for people that didn't know what they were doing. Run # 4, Fight # 16, I decided to move on and cheat. We worked so hard with the RDM kiter who died in 2 seconds, and nothing.
Now I'm at Oryu, 0/2, first time got him down to 48% and Mnk refuses to 2hr when we are all alive, slowly we all die, Oryu was grounded 99% of the time. 2nd run, Pld Drk Blm Blm Smn Smn. Smn screws up two astral flows, I don't know how he did that, but we lost that fight as well with Oryu at 31%. During that fight Pld was the first one to die. I can only do 1 job so well, I am completely at the mercy of other people on CoP to do theirs well.
