They guy's going away and wants a portable system so desktop recommendations are a bit worthless really. I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 which has an NVidia card in it, I playing Portal 2 with decent visuals but I'm not hardcore into graphics - it does me fine and it's four years old. Just look at normal systems with graphics, don't spend coin on "gaming" hardware. You're getting ripped off with Alienware, and you're getting ripped off with the XPS line. If you are aiming for portablility, be aware that laptops that have gaming hardware are heavy as gently caress. My laptop is such a burdon to carry compared to my friend's 1525 which doesn't have the graphics card. It's half the depth and probably half the weight. Much easier to slip in a bag and carry around. A gaming laptop is a desktop replacement at an increased cost and reduced upgradability. Hence people's comments on desktops. That said, I don't have a current suggestion for you, and when I replace my laptop I'll be building a gaming PC and having a supplemental tablet or netbook.

Samurai Sanders posted:My landlord is selling the building that I am living in soon. This has never happened to me before, what should I expect? Does the new landlord have any legal responsibilities to notify pre-existing tenants of anything? Is there anything keeping him from changing the rent suddenly or anything like that? I don't have a lease with the current landlord anymore, it is just month to month, can the new landlord impose a new lease on me? Really you should be notified a month ahead of eviction (or any change to your terms and conditions including rent) at the very latest, but it depends on your contract. Find your contract and see how much notice you and your landlord must give each other. If you never had a contract, then you have no insurance unless your country affords you statutory rights. I'd ask a citizen's advice place what rights you have. I can imaging being month to month though, you would still be entitled to a month's notice.

Why do you want to force people to like a page? You could send a click using javascript I think, but that's shady as gently caress for your users. Just put a massive "LIKE THIS" on your homepage and hide it for users that have liked it?

Vanilla Mint Ice posted:I got a small question, I'm looking for a job right and every phone call so far has the person asking how my job search is going so far. Like, what are they looking for when they ask something like that? Is there something they're looking for me to say that would decrease my chances of getting into the first phrase of their job process? Yes, if you have got a job. I assume you have put your details on recruitment websites and out to agencies etc. They keep your CV for a while and if a recruiter thinks your CV matches, they will give you a call. If you have got a job since uploading your CV how are they to know unless they ask?

Teeter posted:Does anyone know a method to download videos that have been posted on facebook? I've tried some method that digs a link out of the page source as well as some firefox extension that claims it could do it but neither worked. Google gives me a bunch of spammy-looking links so I don't know what to trust to get the job done. I've just looked at the video code on a friend's video. Using the perma link, I get redirected to a "Video unavailable: may have been removed or not visible due to security setting" message. Your downloaders are probably hitting this. If it's a friend's video, can you just ask for the file? If it's an embedded video from another site, use downthemall on whatever site its from.

Teeter posted:Yeah this is the same roadblock I'm hitting. It's a friends video that's being hosted on facebook so I can ask him to email it to me but he won't be available for a few days and was hoping I could just take care of it on my own. Depending on how desperately you need it and how much effort you want to put into grabbing it, you could always do a screen capture with something like VirtualDub, which will record video and audio then save it as whatever you want?

Zewle posted:Thinking about surprising girlfriend after work before school starts back up, felt like a thing to do. I might be slow - I don't know, but 10 miles of hilly street walking took me about 3 hours. You only get slower the further you walk and when its dull (with or without music), you'll fatigue, sweat and blister. You won't be pleasant by the time you meet her. Get a bus?

Knightmare posted:I just got a new pillowtop thing that slips on like a bedsheet under my regular sheets, except I've noticed most mornings it usually slips out taking my sheets with it. Any trick to get it to stop doing that? Elastic? I don't know where you'd get it, probably dress making shops or craft places. You'll want two strips a few inches longer than the 2*(width + depth) of your mattress which you can sew into two seperate loops. Wrap them around your mattress and pillow top at each end of your bed.

I got a copy of "Game Over: How Nintendo Conquered The World" free with a copy of Arcade magazine years ago. I have since lost the book and would like to read it again. Amazon has it for stupid prices, and ebay is much more acceptable but still over priced. Is this book out of print? I know I can get out of print books ordered from WH Smith, but does anyone know where I can get this book for <£10? Has there ever been a follow up (by Sheff or not)? Charting post SNES to DS/Wii release? The former was fascinating and I'm sure an equally well written follow up would be an interesting read.

How do power supplies work in electronics? Are they adding enough electricity into the circuit for the component demand then blocking incoming power and letting the electric in the system remain in there unless demand increases? If that's the case, what happens when demand decreases (if I remove a hot-swappable drive for example)? Where does that excess energy go? I feel dumb for not being able to grasp that from the physics I did at school.

I googled but I only pull up websites from the UK http://www.bouncerland.com/ Looks like a horrible advert with those lovely blown up and styled emoticons but whatever. Rather than doing a Web search have you tried setting Google to local? Edit: I started with "Bouncy Castle sales USA" then changed it to "inflatable castle" when I assumed bouncy was UK terminology.

Liar posted:Will any non-iPod mp3 player work with iTunes? Mine got stolen, and now I'm sitting on a huge library of songs with no way to listen, or ability to afford another iPod. Google came up with different responses but I trust goons over random idiots on Yahoo Answers. It wont display in iTunes like an iPod does, but a lot of non-Apple mp3 players have their own conversion/sync tools. If your library is drm-free and your chosen mp3 player supports AAC, then you can normally drag and drop using Windows Explorer, or Sync using Windows Media Player.

Now that I've got Skype in my facebook, can I just exit my skype program and it'll work in the browser? I'm sick of the random pop up which Skype are oblivious to (looking at their support forum where users were complaining of the same issue), and has only happened since the first upgrade after the MS buy out.

In the UK at least, 99% of our houses are built from brick. When we see houses destroyed in the news or just there in the media from the US, they all appear to be made of nothing more than wood. I'd imagine those built in hurricane/tornado prone locations will be built cheap for cheap rebuilds, but the primary reason has got to be availability of clay, surely, or a preference against how brick looks?

Reformed Pessimist posted:
Tourists visit NYC, use some of their home currency either by mistake or on purpose then get away with it. The cashier with that currency in their till will either remove it (as you have) once noticed, or pawn it off as change for an unsuspecting customer, probably a local. Customer relalises too late and decides to try and pass it off to another cashier somewhere; if they're local, they'll do it in a less tourist-y shop. Your store is that store. I know its just odds and ends, but save foreign currency up. Once you've got an exchangable amount, use it as a social fund for the cashiers?
