What Are You Thinking V. I am the only fucker in this scenario

I'll never understand why there's this odd obsession outside of Europe (Particularly the US) with all things medieval, but by all things medieval they mean castles (Right), kings and queens (Right), knights (Right), peasants (Right), Wizards (Wait, those weren't really -), Magic (Hang on that was just tri-) Dragons (No, stop you're getting mix-) and Excalibur (Alright fuck this). It'd be all fine and dandy if there didn't seem to be a portion of people who genuinely can't tell the difference between real history and fantasy/shit derived from stories at the time or made up in the Renaissance for chuckles)
I was going to post this elsewhere but it was far too much for what was effectively a rant with no help for the OP. And I had to post it somewhere. Because I'm shit like that.
no u
I'm American so I obsess over medieval things? The only people I know like that are LARPers. Get your facts straight before you look like an ass.

have you ever met a single person that doesn't think castles are cool
[b]Edit:[/b]
I mean like if you just walked up to somebody on the street and asked them what they think about castles, they're probably not gonna say "CASTLES SUCK AND I HATE THEM"

I have a stapler that's fed from the very back, and requires a metal rod and a spring-loaded coil to keep the staples going. It's big, heavy, ugly, and weird.

Does it have a name?
it should be named torgue
got an exam on feminism tomorrow o shit
An exam on feminism?
Is that some sort of compulsory course over there or is it more like a look into the movement's history sort of thing?
I wrote a poem.
There once was a cat named Jet
He was a very, very good pet
He chased a bee
Skinned his knee
And had to go to the vet

Good choice, laptops are the best computers.
Well I could spend $1000 to completely revamp my desktop that I won't really have much time to use on account of school or I could get a laptop that I could use a lot.
Problem is I don't know diddly about laptops. I want one whose battery will last though.
ask in the hardware section

It was an optional module in philosophy, and I left it too late to choose any subsids outside of the department, so I basically had to do it. Funnily enough, my coursework grade has been better in feminism than any of the other subjects so I don't really regret doing it right now, haha. :dance:

Depends on what your situation is. Of course if you need something portable they win against a desktop machine. But desktops won't age nearly as fast, they can be customized to a much greater extent than a laptop, they're easier to maintain / more practical to repair.

I would also never choose a laptop for anything gaming related (aside from casual games). Desktops are hands down a better choice there. Same goes for 3D modeling / rendering / other CPU & GPU heavy multimedia related tasks.
o ye fucking around with my old keyboard (the instrument not the computer kind)

I chose my laptop specifically not to just be used for browsing or word processing, but for abilities more typically associated with desktops. I (used to) model on it, and all PC games I buy I play on it. Of course, it can't play shit like Crysis well, and I have lagging issues playing The Ball, but for all the other games I play it works like a charm. The portability makes this even more awesome.

the mass indenity theft has left the strong weak
headless birds running in circles fixated on the past and the bullshit they seek
inbread goths who don't know who their daddy is they throw the blame on their idols and hope it sticks
little do they know about the circle jerk circus and the text based abominations they entrail behind
precious indenities confined by stupidity and consumerism their faces have been fined
burry the hatchet throw it away but what is now hidden is the joy of punk
clouded their vision the goggles were the wrong prescription and their portals covered with the thick big top spunk
impressed by the wheel of fortune tirvia they know it feeds their grotesque egos even after the show
this 20 gigabyte chunk of extra puzzle pieces is only new to plastered mirror which houses Edward Scissorhands
what was once so edgy and new is now a Hot Topic argued by fans
the lost discussions are now only comments whos shapeless characters only spell qwerty and lol
the bombardment of radiowaves and microwaves has taken its toll
everything is cooked at an even 3:30 even our thoughts which were once concidered dirty
it is at the point where I must degress the ritalin must have woren off I feel that is okay
coz Youtube comments are fake and gay

Well that depends on how in depth your modeling is. I'm talking about professional / semi-advanced stuff. You would never see anything real heavy being rendered on laptops, they just don't offer the same level of power that a desktop can (well, unless we're talking about those crazy $2,000+ laptops...which are an absolute waste).
As for gaming - sure, they can run most games a desktop can run...but that doesn't mean they'll run nearly as well. It depends on the game in question.
They still age faster. Once your GPU starts losing ground...that's it. Same goes for your CPU unless you can find a replacement (and they're generally very expensive and not worth it for the small performance increase). Reliability is also another area where desktops will generally win. The components just aren't subjected to the same level of heat that you find in a laptop.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bash laptops or anything. I think they're great. But I wouldn't pick them over a strong desktop machine.
Hey, Zorlok, could you post any of your work? I'll be going to school for the 3D stuff next year.
Also, what kind of desktop do you have?
he have dell

Well the stuff I've personally modeled isn't too advanced. I was just using that as a general plus that desktop machines have. I've just done some light modeling with mechanical things like gears or engines on 3DShit Max / Google Sketchup. I've tried Blender too...I guess that was alright.
Oh and I've tried that Z-Brush program before. That was cool.
Also my desktop is custom built by me. I always build them. I'm sure you've seen pictures of it before:

Yeah, I've seen it before, mine's custom built too but it's getting old. What are your specs?
Mine:
Phenom II X2 555 @ 3.7
4GB DDR2 800MHz
Western Digital 500GB HDD (it's literally taped together at this point)
ATI Radeon HD 4830 512MB

I know, mine is permanently stuck in 2009 because of the hardware issues, and I'm going to have to switch it out sometime due to increased demand for more powerful terminals, but for now I think it's a great piece of hardware that hardly takes up any space at all. I will probably build a desktop sometime in the future, but I've reserved that point until I have a steady source of income to acquire good parts, and a place to put it in.
I picked the components when ordering it specifically so that it should last me awhile, because I know that laptop parts are static and can't be upgraded unless it's built from a barebones shell, and I didn't have the money or time to do so.
