I really need a laptop
to make it easier to read all my illegally downloaded comics. i'm having a hard time sitting straight up at my desk reading this shit. i want to recline.
|
then get a laptop!
|
end of thread!
|
do you have any other reasons to get one?
'cause i dunno that this one is sufficient. BUT HEY, WITH THE WAY YOU BLOW MONEY ON THOSE LEASES, WHY THE HELL NOT?! AMIRITE? |
nah that's it. that's the only reason.
maybe i can lease a laptop then |
actually i just blew a ton of money on a new tv. im tapped out.
|
i just want to sit down and catch up on my Buffy and Angel comics
|
would it be possible to view them on your new tv, maybe using a wireless mouse to turn the pages
|
Laptops are good for carrying around
|
I bought this a little while back. Looks like it's cheaper now.
I really love it and you can game to your heart's content on it if you choose Gateway - FX Edition Laptop with Intel® Centrino® 2 Processor Technology - P-7805u |

Get a copy of Virtual Machine Workstation. Get an OS - Ubuntu Linux will do if you don't have any various copies of Windows floating around. Install VM on a portable harddrive. Use VM instead of laptop.
|
you just blew my mind, sbt
|
can you explain that in a different way? let's pretend i have no idea what you're talking about.
are you saying i can somehow turn a portable hard drive into a virtual computer? how do i connect a keyboard and mouse? how do i connect a televison to be a monitor? |
It's what I use at my job so I can do school work without doing it on the company machine. In particular, I had to have SQL Server 2005 up and running so the college provides software... I set Windows Server 2003 on a VM and voila nobody gets mad at me because everything is isolated to that VM. All I had to get was a portable HD. I've also put Ubuntu on a 8Gb flash drive to mess around with Linux. There is also Sun VMX er something like that which is free but doesn't work as well as Virtual Machine. You will have to install VM Player on the host machines but it is a small program and doesn't fuck with stuff in a bad way.

thanks, i feel dumb.
come down to sacramento and come over and do this for me. |
Sun Virtual box is free but limited and a bit clunky compared to VMWare:
VirtualBox Here's the site for VMWare: VMware Virtualization Technology, Virtual Machine, Green IT Servers, Hypervisor - VMware Essentially it's best to have VMWare Workstation to set up your VM. If you are friendly with the IT people where you work then ask them about it. They'll probably already know about the program. You'll need to install VMWare Tools after you have the VM going... it makes it seamless for your mouse to go from your host computer to the VM, and to do things like drag and drop/copy files off of the VM to the host machine and vice/versa. Virtual Machines are the shit, yo. |
sounds rad, man!
|
so whats a good laptop to get (lol)

debaser was completely overwhelmed by sbt's tech talk
|
get a Netbook as they're relatively cheap. I've got an MSI Wind 8)
|
what exactly is the difference between a netbook and a laptop. what can't a netbook do that a laptop can?

VMWare Server is also free where Workstation is not, but I still don't see how that would be a solution for what you want. edit: I work in IT too and also drive a Ford Focus. It's gets good mileage and I hate big cars and not really caring about cars otherwise. |
