Margins is fer SISSIES!

Donna didn't get her "happy happy" ending. Considering the circumstances, I don't think there was any way she could. Still, she got a nominally happy sendoff. The temp from Chiswick winning triple rollover? As a gift from her dad (with a little help by way of a space man with a time traveling police box)?

Won't work. Even if you tell it to turn everything off and agree to the screen, you'll find that Windows 7 STILL maintains a paging file (if your defragger gives you a graphical representation, it'll show up as unmovable sectors).

Thing is, this IS a clean install.

Okay, Mac Pro line is utterly out of your price range (starts at $3000 and goes from there).

At best, staying in the $1500 range, you're looking at the iMac 21.5" 2.7Ghz with the Radeon HD 6770. You're still limited on on-board RAM because of the iMac platform and the video is essentially a mobile solution.

If you're going "price is no option but keep it sane", step up to the iMac 27" 3.1Ghz. The card actually has more than 512MB of discrete memory. But you're looking at 2 grand.

The problem is, if this is going to be a CoH machine, AMD is NOT the way to go. Look around the help forums for all the people playing musical drivers with their AMD/ATI video cards to find something stable. Add that on top of the Mac "quirks" and...

This is one of my major beefs with Apple, how inflexible their platform is. Were this a Wintendo PC, I could just give you a nice list of parts and you could assemble it yourself.

No

Didn't!

First off, are you planning on staying Mac for hardware or going with a Wintendo PC?

If the former, toss out a real-dollars budget.

If the latter, go here:
Then post the necessary info back here.

Marketing.

By the time I hit DO range, I'm in the tens of millions. If I play the toon regularly, I'm in the high tens of millions by the time I hit 22, if I'm more irregular with the toon, hundreds.

What is there to "save inf" on at that point?

Anyhow, I declare this idiotic thread over.

Until DFTE "digs up" something else stupid to post.

Crossing my fingers and toes (and when I'm not driving or working, my eyes) that we'll see a couple of 'em in there.

Someone's going to be feeling the love with the Grav tweaks coming up eh?

No. Because the count goes from regeneration to regeneration.

Throughout a good chunk of the fandom? Yeah.

Plus, canonical or not, the Big Finish audiobooks are considered by many to be continuations of one's role. Both McCoy and McGann made quite a few of these.

Checking against Newegg and other suppliers who have the Q7384 in stock, the drive on the Q7384 is a Blu-Ray player.
That, combined with the extra memory and up-scale processor makes it a generally better buy for all-around computing.

Not that the top-end one with the hybrid drive wouldn't be NICE. But hey...best bang for the buck.

No, a thread where the person posting has the problem not only staring them in the face, but has a massive strobe effect grabbing their attention to the problem...and still missing it.

In your opinion. Others here disagree with you. A dom isn't particularly worse off for lack of enhancement. Simply put, all ATs have survivability issues when not enhanced. The issues just happen to NOT be identical (but are all related) between every AT.

Oh, you mean like...CONTROLLERS?

Sorry, but you're wrong.

If you take a tank and don't enhance, yeah, you'll have some basic levels of defense/resist. But they're still going to be faceplanting just as often as you.

Why? They didn't enhance. So they don't have the durability to stay up in a fight. They may last a LITTLE longer than you. But that's the difference between jumping off a 50 story building and a 70 story building. You're still pate when you hit the bottom.

• or the damage output to finish the fight before they die
• or the accuracy to hit dependably
• or the endurance reduction to make sure they don't run out of endurance and drop their toggles

If you take a blaster and don't enhance, they're going to be dying just like you too. You simply can't output enough damage to finish the fight before they turn you into bug splat.

If you take a defender and don't enhance, you're going to be dying every bit as often as you will. Only they'll have no chance for control the way you would.

Again, in short. Take the time and effort to enhance. It improves your survivability all out of proportion to the enhancement values.

While the advice is given in a blunt, sort of rude manner. Its sole redeeming feature is that it's correct advice.

The problem is that this person isn't enhancing. Life's tough enough for any character in their 20's, being slot-poor and most enhancers don't do a heck of a lot yet.

Not slotting at all is just...asinine.

The correct advice here is "take the time and enhance". It makes a BIG difference in survivability.

According to you. You're forgetting one important thing. You're not the arbiter of meaning for the english language.

Argue which metric should be used all you want. It doesn't change the fact that you're wrong and simply scrabbling around for anything you can use to prop up your unsupportable position.

Ah well. My work here is done.

No, because "longest running" could mean a number of things.
Had it be specified "longest running on screen", I probably would have just left it. But that isn't what was asked. Thus I posted what I did with clarification.

For you, possibly. Others might (and would) argue differently.

So full of win.

You are now +1 Internet!

*Hands over a cookie*

Both McGann and McCoy were officially "The Doctor" far longer than Tom Baker was. Whether episodes were put out or not.

And, as I added the caveat about Tom Baker if you're just going by episode count...

Technically that's really a toss-up between McGann and McCoy. But if you're talking actual on-air seasons? Yeah, The Proboscis would be the one to beat.
