  • Can someone please help me find a laptop or tell me what specs I need/should be looking for?

    I want to be able to fit Microsoft Word, Mozilla Firefox(or a similar browser if there is one), ITunes, good anti-virus/malware, and a music creation/editing program in the vain of Sibelius and/or Acid Pro.

    It also would be a HUGE plus if its able to burn cds(doesn't need to burn dvds or Blu-ray though)

    Basically I want to be able to fit a lot of downloaded music, music I create, and stuff I write on it without sacrificing performance/speed.

    I have between $315-$385 to spend.

    ps.If you can recommend anything else in terms of a good anti-virus, music downloading, or browser program , it would much appreciated(though not necessary)

    thank you for your time.

  • (supernatural the show)where are all the angels that fell with lucifer?

    So yea,im pretty confident the lore supports that 1/3 of angels fell w. Lucifer...im now halfway thru season 9 and have yet to see 1. Am i missing something?

    Mind you,all demons so far were supposedly once human...not angels.

    Maybe kripke is holding that faction as a trump card?

  • the name xavier...i love it and i hate it...help?

    I really like the name Xavier. I intend to name my son or the main character of my novel Xavier . However name meanings are important to me and I look up and apparently it means new house, Bright House, or owner of a new house. What the hell? I really find those meanings to be borderline retarded and no offense to the Spanish language as I actually find the Spanish language to be quite awesome as well but I'd really like to know the etymology this name. I'm just saying I find it really hard to believe that it translates well in English. That is to say, whichever individual came up with this name had to have had a different meaning in mind.

    Now on to the question ...

    oddly enough, the main character in my novel can actually use this name to their benefit because their character is going to usher in a new age of sorts. However I do not know if the whole "New house" Is supposed to be taken literally or if it can be used more metaphorically in context.

    So

    1.can someone please tell me if Xavier is supposed to mean new house in the literal sense or if it can be more figurative?

    2.is there a more obscure name meaning that I am unable to find on Googl/name meaning websites?

    3.can someone please tell me the etymology or what root the word itself may have had?(I.e. is there any cultural significance? OR maybe it stems from like 3 magical symbols combined? Lol)

  • please help me find a book or books suitable to my tastes!?

    Okay...so I'm looking for scifi/fantasy or science fantasy novels but will go for anything based in or around any of the formerly stated genres.

    I enjoy reading about god(s),demons/devils(preferably as seperate entities and not based of islamo-christian doctrine), aliens(especially sexy alien females OBVIOUSLY haha), talking animals/inanimate objects with souls and/or sentience, magic, highly advanced technology, the generally bizarre.

    However,aside from all the content I just mentioned, I enjoy deep stories.

    Here's a list of books/series' I really enjoyed

    1.Warhammer 40k(too many to mention though I LOVE anything related to Harlequins, the Relictors, night lords, raven guard, and most of the more obscure aspects)

    2.His dark materials(the golden compass etc.)

    3.lord loss/demonatta series

    4.good omens

    5.magic the gathering:invasion cycle

    6.hitchhikers guide to the galaxy(first 2 books.gets obnoxious after that)

    There's many more but I can't think of em off the top of my head

    Surprisingly enough,I actually kinda hate the LOTR series.I know I know.I'm sorry lol. I also really don't like harry potter.too light/generic in many senses

    To add more insight, here's some other things I really enjoy on multimedia/other platforms

    Kingdom hearts

    Battlestar galactica/caprica

    Dantes inferno(vg)

    God of war

    Lost

    Dexter

    True blood

    John dies at the end

    Marvel/dc/dark horse/image(though I dislike comics)

    Hope you can help!

  • a question about warhammer 40k primarchs?

    So yea...I get that the primarchs were scattered by the RP. What I don't get is how they all took on attributes of their respective homeworlds

    What I mean by this is best told w. This analogy...

    A chinese man and chinese woman go to north africa while the woman is pregnant...

    The baby is not going to come out black lol

    And yet primarchs like russ land on fenris and have wolflike features

    Konrad curze, as far as we know, has nostraman features...what gives?

    Shouldn't the primarchs look/be terran?

    Furthermore, a friend told me the emporer actually MADE leman russ wolf-like...wtf are the odds that the primarch the emporer made wolf-like would be sent to planet wolf?

    There's 2 obvious theories (the emp had the foresight to make him fit to live on such a planet OR the chaos gods decided to be nice and match his destination to his traits HA!)

    So yea...does anyone have any answers for me? :-(

  • thoughts and opinions regarding "Cypher" of warhammer 40,000...?

    What's your theory?

    What do you think of mine:

    1.he is omegon, maybe even alpharius...maybe even the 2 combined

    (take note,not only of their individual dealings but of the significance in their #s legion-wise as well as the prophecy surrounding alpha legion)

    2.he is the last surviving member of the order of Lupus

    3.he is a Watcher in the Dark who was given or stole Dark Angel gene-seed(if given,it'd have been by lion el'johnson himself)

    4.he is an enforcer,if not the main enforcer,of a now even more clandestine Cabal(THE cabal)

    5: cypher is some embodiment, fragment, or minor(/incomplete) (re)incarnation of the emperor or a revenant controlled directly by his will

  • a question for those who follow the abrahamic religions(especially muslims)...?

    If god made a covenant with abraham regarding the land his decendants(isaac and his children...obvi not ishmael)...would inherit, according to the bible(old testament),and the old testament is held sacred by jews,muslims,and christians alike...then WHY is israel not officially as big as it is mandated(by god)to be?

    Why do many muslims/muslim nations want israel wiped off of the map? and why do palestinians insist that much,if not all,of the current state of israel is theirs by right?

    It clearly says in the bible that israel is for abraham and his (legitimate)son/his people(descendants) and that its borders are from the egyptian river to the eupgraties etc.

    so not only has the countries of the middle-east taken most all of the land that should be israel(with palestinian forces picking away at it still), but all of the former are intent on wiping it, and their FELLOW JEWS(other followers of abraham/Yaweh/Jehova/Allah) off of the map.

    So my question is this:

    If muslims hold the old testament sacred and see it as a sort of precursor to the quran itself, then why do they not encourage and help with the expansion of israel until it matches the size/specifications god promised/mandated?

    Ps.although I am genuinely curious,id like anyone responding to note that I myself am not religious though most all my friends and family are conservative jews,christians,and muslims...none can agree on an answer to this dilemma

  • why is there no 'blockbuster' warhammer rpg or movie or series yet?!?

    Yes,I know dawn of war(both) and space marine did pretty good and even did the universe a bit of justice BUT with the advent of todays technology in regards to graphics and software/harddrive/gaming etcetcetc. Can someone please explain why there is not a galaxy or at least star-system spanning (mmo)rpg for wh40k?do devs and corporations in general not understand the sheer awesomeness and innate lucrativity within the wh40k franchise?through my research I've found GW has given many companies permission/license to take a shot at the gaming(pc/console) world and none of them have achieved overt success,not seemed to even really attempt to create a game that is even 1/8th as vast+intriguing as the grim dark universe is.I think its possible to do so now more than ever.I hope eternal crusade actually gets finished and is successful.if done right it'll make the hypothetical lovechild of star wars:kotor and WoW look like a pygmie with dwarfism lol.

    Lastly,

    Why are there no legit movies or tv series based on it yet?! Obvi only showtime or hbo could make a successful series(I'm confident sci-fi...NOT FRIGGIN SYFY...would butcher it).I think people who don't even know about the tt game or the franchise at all could/would get into it rather quickly and fervently

    My question is this...

    Are there any big name (mmo/)rpg games, tv series, or movies pertaining to wh40k in the works?

    If the answer is no for any of the 3, is there a reason why not?
