[/quote] To my knowledge there is only one dragon in the video. but there are swarms of steampunk flying machines that can be mistaken for dragons. But yes there is a jetpack. All the better to get to where you want to be.
[quote who="Philly0381" reply="14" id="2981843"]What! You might be surprised at the amount of products that marketing departments push that consumers quite literally don't buy.[/quote] Thou are not thinking about it enough. It is left to marketing insofar as it is left to their ability to create commerials that will make a product desirable or undesirable. So it is left to the ability marketing departments.

[/quote] To be clear, it is a matter of what the hardware supports (and is independant of software, so if the hardware can use more/larger sticks of RAM then whether you are running a 32 or 64 bit OS is irrelavent).
[quote who="Goontrooper" reply="1" id="2979478"]I think that a powerful, experienced, well-equipped hero, especially a channeler, should be a major threat to any army. However, this should only really be possible with a good deal of work. Right now, I worry about heroes being too vulnerable since they can be singled out. I've been arguing since beta that I would like to see a divide between adventuring parties of heroes and armies of large units. This would b

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="43" id="2978276"]Cute shop of the Trojan... I think there's a spectrum of users as well as evolving problems. Now, there are more attack target surfaces... phones, pads, increasingly complex apps (IBM has stated that for every 1,000 lines of code, there are 1-5 bugs), and increasingly complex OS's. So, what was good protection 5 years ago isn't necessarily now.... nor is it necessarily inadequate. ... I also ad
[quote who="kona0197" reply="32" id="2978123"]I've used AVG, Avast!, and Antivir. All of them are free and scan every file as it is accessed. Is that not an "active" program? No one should have to pay money for a decent AV program. Pay versions tend to have a AV scanner surrounded by bloatware. [/quote] Except that if no one paid for them then there would not be any decent AV programs except for those that are funded by the purcase of other software like MSE.
[quote who="willistuder" reply="34" id="2978170"]When you buy an antivirus program, what you pay for is the ability to stop an attack in real time. The free versions only find something after the fact, usually when it's too late.[/quote] Depends. Some do provide realtime protection in the free version, and add other things in the paid (like a firewall).

Further, why do you consider it to be a not-serious-gaming laptop? I personally am intending to purchase a Toshiba Satellite A660 series laptop. From what I can tell, it is highly suitable for the games I can foresee myself wanting to buy in the near-future, as well as the game
[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="11" id="2976719"]The specs seem to be virtually identical to my satellite. Lenovo and Toshiba are both good brands and either will probably suit your purpose. The only real differences I see are price (the lenovo is a couple hundred bucks more than mine) and that I have 8 GB of RAM. I customized mine, but here is the link to the page where you do so: http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cdetland.to?poid=2000005971[/quote]
Try looking at what you can get at http://www.avadirect.com/Gaming-Notebooks . NVidia GTX 560M video card or better. RAM, Hard Drive, and Disc Drive are the only areas to cut back on a laptop as they are the only ones that are meant to be replaceable.

It is just some is applied as a texture to a dynamically generated mesh.TY, I'd assumed by it's look combined with my GPU fan working overtime, that it was 3D.
