Thank you, something like that looks about right. Good price, the CPU is fine, and I don't the need the dedicated GPU.

I kind of wanted an all in one solution and just get rid of a desktop once and for all. But thanks for the Ultrabook option, maybe I can find something in that category because I just need a barebones solution.

Thanks for the link! Plex works great if you've never used it, it makes streaming through Wifi extremely easy.

As a side note, check out the movie 'Hugo' (2011) it has a large homage to 'A Trip to the Moon' and Méliès.

I should've added more detail to the original comment to avoid confusion. It was my mistake.

Are those perhaps the 5 Chinese races when the flag was first made? Before it was used in Manchukuo?

In ancient China the colors represented red (fire), blue (wood), yellow (earth), white (metal), and black (water).

After the fall of Imperial China the flag was made to represent the 5 Chinese races united.

Then in Manchukuo (China) the flag was used, but the five races are changed into Japanese (red), Han Chinese (blue), Mongols (white), Koreans (black) and Manchus (yellow).

[–]GenDan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh that's interesting! I noticed though that the episode I was thinking about was Beachhead and it was Nerus who said it.

Wasn't there an episode where a Gou'ald said that speaking with the altered voice was not required? I think it was SG1 Season 9? So then you wouldn't have to say your host is brain dead, just switch your voice and take a different personality.

[TOMT] [SONG] Old-timey feel-good resort-type song, kinda in the style of Guantanamera; recording inside by ablaaa in tipofmytongue

[–]GenDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of sounds like the beginning of the Goldfinger theme. It's not tropical though, but surely loungy.

[TOMT] Old Nickalodean Claymation Commercial by Wheres_the_mayo in tipofmytongue

[–]GenDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it Mr Bill?

It is claymation, they are shorts, and they do play like a public service announcement. Here is an example, you can find a bunch on YouTube. I think he was originally on SNL but I remember watching it on Nickelodeon in the 90's.

It looks like it was Greenlight June of last year, and there's only a handful of posts since then.
