So far as I know, that will depend on both the size of your laptop screen and on whether you zoom in. On mine, it does put a black strip at the top and bottom (just like it would on a TV), but doesn't really bother me. You're still probably better off attaching it to a TV for viewing all the way through.
As for laptop recommendations, my company uses IBM, Toshiba and Dell. I wouldn't recommend the Toshibas, though they're SUPPOSED to have a great recommendation. Ours have had various problems, though they DO take care of waranteed machines. The IBMs are wonderful but very pricey, the Dells have been all around good machines. I have a Dell, and haven't had any serious issues...yet.
Unlike the Gateway desktop I'm using at work, and which I WILL destroy one of the days...grrrrrrr!
C'mon now...keep holdin' out till November...don't leave me hangin'...that's a good smeagol...
IBM if you got alot of cake...otherwise, go with Dell...ours work great...
I've played a bootleg *.avi file on my laptop either widescreen (narrow horizontal strip) or fullscreen. I can play it on the TV by using an S adapter with RCA cables.
:) I have a problem with environmental policies made ....
1. with no supporting dataIt's a scientist thing.
2. with data that has not been independently verified
3. with falsified data.....I really hate this one!
My son's 11th birthday is September 11th and I got him the VHS LOTR and some mini CD's (LOTR-not sure what's on those), and the TTT poster. (He will be thrilled-at 10 years old he read the entire trilogy and is now re-reading it). I have to restrain myself from opening and playing the movie every night when I get home. Can't wait to see it again, and again, and again....
Yeah yeah...I get it...you smart scientist...g'nad dumb jarhead...I'm with yuh...
With our freedom and the prosperity comes the LEISURE time to worry about such things! The only folks in the Third World worrying about the environment are the UN or NGO folks who are paid to fret. The average African, Indian, or someone in any other poor country is just trying to get food on the table and water to the dwelling. Forget the oceans and the polluted air; they're trying to feed their families!
I agree Hair; bashing people over the head only makes them not want to listen to what you have to say.
Awww....I didn't mean it like that! :)
Data not worth darn unless someone else can verify it!
Didn't take offense, I got your immplication...my way of sayin your hurtin' my head...
No problem! :)
Duhhh....the point I meant to make is that I like to have some provable data/observations ...whaterver before making decisions on land-use policy. I just think that the private sector is better able to do this. If they don't, the value of their land goes down, bad publicity, and so forth. The government, on the other hand, seem to make decisions that benefit special interests without regard to how it affects the land and the people on/next to the land. And if the government policy results in...say...losing whole forests to forest fires...they have no consequences to pay. All you'll get from the gubmint is "sorry!"
Okay....I'm finished ranting now.
