I have an Acer Aspire 2920. It's not really the most powerful laptop, but it's nice and compact, and it does me fine.

I'm gonna be going to see if I can find a new TV a bit later, any tips on what I should look for? I've found a few 17"-19" ones with HD for around 120 to 160 quid.
who needs a TV when you can plug the sky box strait into your laptop and watch from there? ;D

colour, HD, HDMI port, how thick it is (flat screens break to easy) and is it wall mounted (i don't trust the wall with my TV). USB and Extention ports are boss if you can get them...

what robot said for the size they tend to be cheaper than 17"-19" don't ask why.

I just brought a TV a few weeks ago.. not sure what things are like over there but here you can roughly trade off an inbuilt DVD player for more size with the smaller ones.

I bartered mine with a saleman and got a Full HD LED LCD tv for the price of the HD ready non LED LCD version  :gawe:

I've just found a 22" LCD TV with 1080P for £160. =D I'm quite happy with that for now.

Do any of them allow sale without PayPal? Because I can read Dutch, to an extent

Well.. Uhm.. I'm not sure since I only do Paypal or direct bank transfer. But most sites also do credit/debit cards. 

I'd just look here now to see all resellers. http://www.acekard.com/distributors.php
I thought Modconsole.nl sold them too since I got a DSTWO card there (can emulate GBA, but doesn't work in 3DS yet). But I just looked and can't find any flash cards there.

Non Sequitur Time!

(Image removed from quote.)

Yes my homework had DragonBall Z referances in it.  :gawe:

hahahahaha lol wut

I would worship you if you wrote
"IT'S OVER 9000!"
And handed it in. :laughing

Do this. Just for laughs.

The problem with that homework is that the Kamehameha is a ki ball, and I don't think ki balls are affected by gravity, since they're mostly energy.

Also, 1,6 secs ? I remember that scene pretty well, and I am also pretty sure more than 1,6 seconds last in the anime between Goku firing at Frieza (who was stupidly trying to blast him with Goku's own energy) and Frieza getting killed.

But really, if we really must link anime time to something, it is to the drama potential that time can bring or not, and the actual length of a DBZ second will therefore shorten or lengthen depending of the drama (or ham) level required for the scene. If both fighters must engage in a 10-minute shouting match before a 1-minute fight... IT'S AWWWRIIIIIGHT !!!!1!1one!

I said the answer for letter B was over 9000. My teacher said he would give me credit for my answer if I could mathmatically prove it. Anyone want to help me with this?

Change the scale for example, if the real answer was 9N/kg you could say your units were N/g (Giving 9000N/g)
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Yus. Bought mine from:

http://www.eachgame.hk/goods-5341.html

American website but, oh well. It arrived in a week and a half IIRC. Great quality.

Acekard?

A card that is compatible with the DS (when it has a micro-SD card in it and the micro-SD card has the right firmware on it). With the firmware on it, you can put .nds files onto the micro-SD card and then use the DS to play them. The latest firmware update for the Acekard 2i allows you to play them on a 3DS.
Yes that sequence of words I just said made perfect sense.

Pretty much yeah. Yay free DS games, and hopefully soon also 3DS games. The games have not been cracked yet. Can't emulate GBA games though. Only the DSTWO card can do that because it has a processor on the card which is needed for the emulation. DSTWO does not yet work on the 3DS though... ... And you need to be a little more careful with it too.
