okay, i've given it a few solo tests and tweaked it as much as i think i can, try it out and tell me what you like/hate, i'll try to be open to
critasiems

Figured I would appeal to the vast knowledge and experience of this group of people to humbly garner advice.

My laptop is nearing it's end and would like to get a replacement. I've been using my laptop (Gateway Tablet CX2618) for watching videos, archiving,
and, of course, Internet usage.

Now, I would love to play WoW on it, as well as keeping up on my archiving and videos. ...and Internet usage too.

I look forward to seeing what you suggest.

(Bob, didn't you just recently pick up a laptop for CoH?)

So, somebody forgot to tell the NYC mayor's office that a large aircraft would be flying very low in Manhattan airspace, for a photo-op. Never mind that it's this aircraft; who in his right mind would have thought to stage a low-level flight over Manhattan less than eight years after 9/11 and barely twelve weeks after the Hudson crash without telling everybody and their pet dogs, in advance, loudly?

I'm guessing somebody's in trouble...

Now that Vancouver has won the chance to host the 2010 Winter Olympics, these are some questions people from all over the world are
asking.

Believe it or not the questions about Canada were posted on an International Tourism Website.

Obviously the answers are a joke; but the questions were really asked!

Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow? ( England )

A. We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die.

Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? ( USA )

A: Depends on how much you've been drinking.

Q: I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto - can I follow the Railroad tracks? ( Sweden )

A: Sure, it's only Four thousand miles, take lots of water.

Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Canada ? ( Sweden )

A: So it's true what they say about Swedes.

Q: Are there any ATM's (cash machines) in Canada? Can you send me a list of them in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Halifax ? (
England )

A: What, did your last slave die of?

Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada ? ( USA )

A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Ca-na-da is that big country to your North...oh forget it. Sure, the
hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Calgary. Come naked.

Q: Which direction is North in Canada ? ( USA )

A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.

Q: Can I bring cutlery into Canada ? ( England )

A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do.

Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? ( USA )

A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is...oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys' Choir plays every
Tuesday night in Vancouver and in Calgary, straight after the hippo races. Come naked.

Q: Do you have perfume in Canada ? ( Germany )

A: No, WE don't stink.

Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Where can I sell it in Canada ? ( USA )

A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.

Q: Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada ? ( USA )

A: Only at Thanksgiving.

Q: Are there supermarkets in Toronto and is milk available all year round? ( Germany )

A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of Vegan hunter/gathers. Milk is illegal.

Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Canada, but I forget its name. It's a kind of big horse with horns. ( USA )

A: It's called a Moose. They are tall and very violent, eating the brains of anyone walking close to them. You can scare them off by
spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.

Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? ( USA )

A: Yes, but you will have to learn it first.

Please send this on to any Canadian (or others) who you think will enjoy it as much as I did.

So, I was reading some of those Let's Play archives over at [url=http://www.lparchive.org,]http://www.lparchive.org,[/url] I and I thought I'd go
look at an in-progress one. So I go over to the forums, find an interesting thread, and....

Bam, can't view this page w/out registering.

Okay, I think, I'll just go register....

What. The. Fsck.

You want me to *pay* to register in your forums?! For FORUMS?!

http://www.animenewsnetwo...for-chapter-7-bankruptcy

Quote: The Crain's New York Business news source reports that the
anime and manga distributor Central Park Media
(CPM) filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and has closed its doors as of Monday. According to Crain's, the company owes US$1.2 million to creditors. The
company has not been active in releasing new titles in the past 12 months.

CPM and its Software Sculptors, U.S. Manga Corps, and Anime 18 labels were once the North American homes of such prominent works as
Grave of the Fireflies, Utena, Mobile Police Patlabor, Record of Lodoss War, Slayers, Night on the Galactic Railroad, Project A-Ko, Dominion Tank Police, Descendants of Darkness, Demon City Shinjuku, Urotsukidoji, and La Blue Girl. It later branched out into the book publishing field by releasing
Comic Party, Record of Lodoss
War, Slayers, and other titles under the CPM Manga imprint. It sponsored the Big Apple Anime Fest earlier this
decade.

Companies that file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States will face liquidation - unlike Chapter 11 and 13
bankruptcies which still allow companies to restructure and continue to operate.

CPM's former management did not respond to ANN's request for comment.

And from what I understand, there have also been big villains appearing, all of these dropping their appropriate badges.

Well, it's a small one, and the name makes
me think it's coming soon...
