2 is probably a true minimum. I would do 4 if you plan to run much else at the same time. I run 8 on my dev server at home, but I also run Oracle and SQL on it at the same time.

$450 off $1399 coupon: NBMY33241 I really like my HP laptop so far. Screen is quite bright and clear. Graphics are good enough (I didnt get the upgraded graphics). 6GB of RAM is nice, and the CPU flies relative to my old one. MUCH quieter. MUCH cooler than my previous laptop. Battery runs about 2.5...

Ah, my favorite X-Files non-main character and my favorite Alias non-main character in episode 6. Nice. I keep thinking this is basically a male Alias.

Hmmm, on 2nd thought, the Lone Gunmen and Cigarette Smoking Man may have been more favorite.

A warhog ran over and killed me. Before I could stand up, it killed me again. It's just hovering over my body ready to kill me.

This is the stupidest game I've ever played.

I never even saw the form, wife did it before I got home.

Apparently if you don't answer all 10, you can expect a visit from a census worker.

So, since the demo cannot save, I minimized the game, and went about my normal surfing, etc. I may even have put the laptop to sleep, not sure. At any rate, suddenly noticed my internet connection was flaky, and degrading. Checked 2 other PCs in the house, no issues. Shutdown the game, issue resolv...

I downloaded the demo the other day to see what it was about. It's an RTS like Age of Empires, kinda, but more confusing, with worse instructions, and no clarity whatsoever. Oh, and if you're internet goes out while you're playing a single-player game, it stops. Which happened to me when my RoadRun...

wrt #2: It's been $1.25 billion so far. The issue was that basically companies could double count certain expenditures for retirees twice towards tax write-offs. The law makes it so that they can only deduct it once.

I'm only two episodes in, the train and the airplane. I liked the "maybe we should take a train home" joke at the end of the airplane episode, as a reference to the first episode.

Do the kids eat the same?

We make ours eat a little bit, then move on for that night/day/whatever. With most things, she's eventually started eating them normally again.

And we let her go hungry, quite frankly. She can eat something bland if she turns down a meal, otherwise she gets nothing.
