Harry inherited a small fortune from his parents, and is pretty much set for life. Everyone else who isn't a student gets their money from working at the Ministry of Magic (the wizarding government, essentially).G-Fex said:

Do they have to buy their own books and stuff? I never really had to think about it.ultron87 said:

Yeah I never even finish the Harry Potter series but I remembered that they bitch about book and uniform prices at some point. Of course the fact that they have currency, even if it's gold/silver, doesn't make any sense considering that they can do alchemy and whatever to make counterfeit moneys.
What's the correct watch order for Initial D? I just finished Stage 2 and I want to make sure I'm going to the right thing next. Is it just the order they released everything?

Are the Extra and Battle Stages any good? What about the live action movie?

Do people say "pickup" instead of "truck" everywhere or is that a south/Midwest thing?

In the memory where Dumbledore is visiting Tom Riddle for the first time, either Tom or the adoption lady complains about Tom not having any money to pay for school. Dumbledore offers to subsidized but it doesn't specify whether that's for books or tuition. Could be free or could just be inexpensive. I'm guessing since the Ministry had a hand in enough policies and teacher assignments, it was at least partially subsidized by the government. Could have also been through donations, like St. Mungos.

I have a bunch of old video clips on my system that seemed to begin running really choppily when I had built a new system. I just chalked it up to them being old and me not really noticing the choppiness because I remember when everything used to be choppy. However, when I had downloaded some of those 1080p BF3 trailers, I found that they ran poorly despite the reasonable build of my PC, so after looking for some solutions found that they ran beautifully if I played them in a DVD-playback program. The problem seems to be that those huge files (1-2GB) needed some hardware support to play properly. After realizing this, I tried running the little video clips through the DVD program, and they did run smoothly. I cannot figure out though why such small videos would need the same.
Edit: They tend to be mpegs just a couple MB in size.

I'm having a brain fart right now. What word best describes the Na'vi culture in the film Avatar? They're a hunter-gatherer society, but there's another term for it. It's not agrarian...what's the word I'm looking for?

It's probably been asked before but does anybody know of a chrome extension or free program that lets you take a picture of an entire webpage all at once? Not just the section of the page that's on screen at the time but like the entire page as one long reel?
I need to copy and send my unofficial transcript so if I just keep pressing page down and taking separate pictures it would be like ten individual images.

Having not downloaded music for years, I just downloaded 10 gigs of it.
Do people still get sued for downloading music/torrents?

Downloading music / torrenting doesn't need to be illegal.
If you payed for your music like in Itunes, it's completely legal. Torrenting music is of course illegal but torrentling things like a Linux distribution isn't because the thing you're torrenting is free for everyone.

Yeah... not really asking if stealing tons of music was legal or not.
Is the RIAA still suing a shitload of people for torrenting, though, was my question.

Not a shitload, no. They're still suing people to make examples, but rather rarely in comparison. Torrenting partakers are targeted in particular because they take part in distribution per definition.Cringe Humor said:

Not so much a dumb question, but a plea for help. Apologies ahead of time, but without reaching member status I can't just create a new thread, and I couldn't find any recent threads with any relevancy.
I'm heading back to school in August to get my second bachelor's. Tough job market and I lost interest in what I went for the first time. So I'm going for a CS degree in Software Development. I'd like to get ahold of a laptop that has enough power to write code/compile, but I'm on a budget. I've never bought a laptop before so I'm open to any suggestions.
My only limitations are:
I want Windows 7.
Under ~$450 or so.
Thanks guys!
