I'm in the market for a new laptop. Currently I have my mind split between the Asus U30jc, the Sony Vaio Z, and the Dell Studio 15 (1558).

I'll be a college student, so it'll be the usual multi-tasking with a web browser, itunes, and a word processor running simultaneously. And I might pick up gaming again, TA & BZ 98 if I can get them to work on WIndows 7, or maybe Supreme Commander.

I'm leaning towards the Dell because I can configure it with an i5, 6GB RAM, and a Blu-Ray for cheaper than the Vaio, for about $1800. But I hear the Vaio is a mean machine, though I'd be getting the same i5, 4GB RAM, and 128GB SSD, AND switchable graphics for about $2400. I'm thinking the Asus is the featherweight alternative and cannot be configured. So probably the Dell?

Any suggestions, ideas, etc?

Thanks

So our chem. teacher gave us the equation A=abc. Here's part of my data:

Solution # 1

Volume (mL) 10.00

Concentration (M) 0.397

Absorbance 1.950

Wavelength (nm) 510

We put our solution in a spectrophotometer for the absorbance. And the cuvettes were 1 centimeter. How would you set up this equation?

I ended up with: 2x^5 + 10x^4 - 15y + 20x^3 - 30y^2 + 20x^2 - 30y^3 + 10x - 15y^4 - 3y^5

But I'm not sure that its correct. Thanks.

Can you use ellipsis (...) to put a break between part of a quote and part that came befor it.

EX: the actual quote is "So important did military spending and the military-industrial sector become during World War II and the Cold War that-with space exploration as a minor adjunct-they have become fundamental to the U.S. economy, U.S. economic growth and above all U.S. technological development. Despite its often almost incredible wastefulness and corruption, this military spending has also been in some ways a kind of unacknowledged but rather successful state industrial development strategy in a country whose free market ideology meant that it could not formally adopt or admit to such a strategy."

I want to say he said "Despite its often almost incredible wastefulness and corruption, this military spending... with space exploration as a minor adjunct-they have become fundamental to the U.S. economy, U.S. economic growth and above all U.S. technological development."

Right or wrong?

What are some history document-based questions you've seen? I looking for anything American history related. Thanks.

I'm looking for examples of conflict in American history. Any type of conflict.

I have to write an essay on something I believe. This is what I've got. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Let me start be asking a simple question: Have you ever played a sport? I would imagine most, if not all of you, said yes. There is a reason why almost everybody has at one time or another played a sport. In fact, there are multiple reasons. Sure, there are the obvious physical and social benefits. Then there are the less advertised benefits, like learning the value of hard work or responsibility. These may be harder to see, but they hold just as much importance. I believe there are valuable life lessons to be learned through playing sports.

A popular sport in the U.S. is baseball. While everyone has a favorite team, one of the most popular is the New York Yankees. They tend to have one of, if not, the biggest payroll each year. Looking on paper, you would expect them to be winning World Series titles with some regularity. Well, they don’t. In fact, they haven’t won th

Okay, here's what I think: The Yankees have the biggest payroll in the MLB. Am I right?

Cross country skiing is considered a sport, right?

In "The Chosen", both Danny and Reuven are surprised to learn Mr. Malter has been the man recommending the books. Why does the author choose to reveal this link in this fashion?

Which, if any of his books best displays individualism? I need a book that has a lot of diverse characters and I thought one of his might fit my needs. Other suggestions are welcome too. Thanks.

American character is not the same as the American stereotype which isn't neccessarily the same as a person's assumption of an American's charcter. Right? They're all different.

Many smart people are shy and reserved. Do agree? Why or why not?

And yes, I do realize there are many smert people who don't fit this description.

I'm applying for a "volunteer" (unpaid) coaching position. I'll be coaching 6-14 year olds. I have no prior experience in coaching or working with children, except for helping my dad and sister. How do I make myself sound better in order to attain the position?

"If f(x) varies directly as x and f(3)=14, for what value of x is f(x)=35?''

Any help at all, thanks.

The table looks like this: (in) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

(out) 1 5 9 13 17 21 25 29

Wha is the function (of x(in))? I can't figure it out.

If I want to be a high school counselor (and ski team coach), what courses should I take in high school and college?

...if I say 1:3 is the same as 1/4? Does 1:3 not mean for every on there is three? And 1/4 means there are one out of four.

So bascially if i have a class of four kids and only one is a boy, 1:3 is the ratio of boys to girls and 1?4 is the number of boys out of the whole class.

Same(-ish) idea right?

What courses should I take in high school and college if I want to be a high school couselor? And possibly a coach?

Has anybody worked at REI, before? How was it? How long do you have to be employed before you recieve the discount on their merchandise? That's not a huge issue, but I'm curious. Anything else mentionable? Thanks.
