I pretty well maxed out the customizations on that thing, the base price was around $850.
If they'd let you customize a Qosmio, I'd probably have gotten one of those. The only significant differences between my Satellite and the mid-range Q8102X Qosmio are the Qosmio has a larger screen (18.4" at 1680x945) and a better video card with more video ram, but my Satellite has more regular ram and costs almost $400 less. Also, I can actually pronounce "Satellite" while "Qosmio" is a bit of a tongue twister assuming it even sounds the way I think it does.

I agree, which is why I'm glad I was able to build a 16" one with similar stats. Which is the perfect size for a laptop to be, in my opinion. Large enough for a full-size keyboard with a number pad, but not so large that you start to wonder why they didn't just go ahead and slap a battery and a screen on a desktop tower.

I don't know what you mean by it being a definition, but that's Propositional Calculus Logic.
I have to use a set of logical rules to get from ~P v Q to P -> Q
An example of doing a problem like this would be:
Q |- P -> Q (which translates into "Q, thus If P then Q"
1. Q...............(A)
2. |P...............H->I
3. ||~Q...........H~I
4. ||Q&~Q.......1,3&I
5. |~~Q...........3-4~I
6. | Q...............5~E
7. P->Q............2-7->I
A meaning Assumption/Premise
H meaning Hypothetically
~ meaning Negation
~E Negation Elimination [Rule]
->I If Then Introduction [Rule]
&I And Introduction [Rule]
@_@ It's really complicated, unless you use the system that has 20 rules for every common situation (which we aren't using)

Homemade fruit salad is an awesome way to start the day! Especially when you did all the work last night.

I have to wonder if anyone on the road ever thinks I have a case of penis envy. Without fail, whenever I come to a stop, my right hand goes for the handlebar and my left, for the tip of my bike seat. It's not even just resting there, it's hanging on to the thing as if it will fall off if I don't.

That reminds me of how I hold on to the gear shifter on my husband's automatic car (even though there is no need) because I'm so used to driving my standard car and having my hand there.

I do all of those things (except the bike stuff, I haven't ridden a bike in years).
I always play with my necklace and twirl my ring around my finger and when I drive I always rest my hand on the shifter in my current car because I learned how to drive in a manual.
Sometimes I still go for the clutch...

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

Randomness...
So, when you have Google Chrome, you can set it up to sync with different computers, so your browser is the same no matter what computer you're on.
So, Paul and I do this with his netbook at school and my laptop at home. We just figured out that it syncs practically in real time, so we can change the names of the things on the bookmark bar to be "Hey there", etc and leave easter egg style notes for each other.

Yeah, I mean it in the way that ~PvQ is the definition of P->Q; they're just two different ways of writing the same thing. I thought that was one of the first things taught in logic classes, so it just seems like one step. (Like how ~(PvQ) is the same as (~P)^(~Q))I don't know what you mean by it being a definition, but that's Propositional Calculus Logic.

Maybe we haven't got to it in my class, but what's (~P)^(~Q))?
We haven't used a ^ sign for anything...
Also, I don't understand how the ~PvQ and P->Q would be two different ways of writing the same thing....~PvQ is the premise to the conclusion P->Q
If we were to convert it into sentences, it would be like "Not P or Q, thus if P than Q.

^ stands for "and". I always remembered it because it looks like an A without the bar. It's weird that you didn't learn that. I learned the "and" and "or" symbols at the same time.Maybe we haven't got to it in my class, but what's (~P)^(~Q))?

While researching my latest blog post, I came across this picture, which was too awesome to not post anywhere:
Trust me, people not in the know, it's awesome for people in the know. I mean, you know, assuming that's actually Kane.
...of course it's Kane.

If it's the Kane I think you mean, if doesn't look like it to me.
We use the & sign for "and".^ stands for "and". I always remembered it because it looks like an A without the bar. It's weird that you didn't learn that. I learned the "and" and "or" symbols at the same time.Maybe we haven't got to it in my class, but what's (~P)^(~Q))?
We haven't used a ^ sign for anything...
However, I still don't see how ~P v Q would be the definition of P -> Q...

It's usually ^ (or I think technically it's supposed be ∧) when dealing with logic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_conjunctionWe use the & sign for "and".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_conditionalHowever, I still don't see how ~P v Q would be the definition of P -> Q...
Or possibly http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... d=77109738 is a better thing to look at. I'm not sure; the series of pages on it seem to be a bit of a mess.
