I was able to get away with it in an old limp building by finding a particular spot that had load bearing beams over a doorway downstairs. It was the only place I could play without bringing down the house.
Is anybody else watching Mayweather vs Pacquiao?:Did it cut out for any of you when the announcer finished talking about Mayweather and was about to say something critical of Pacquiao? Any thoughts on who's gonna win? I'm leaning towards Mayweather but I'm not sure enough to bet.

My illegal stream has British announcers. Mayweather will probably win. Rooting for Manny like most people. But hey, it was the same situation in the Giants vs Patriots Super Bowls. The side I was rooting for, but didn't think could win, won twice.
Uh, is the forum using some filter for hyperlinks now? Two of my comments that had a tags have to await approval.

The thing is, neither of them are just a hyperlink. In fact the hyperlink takes up 1% of the message.
The whole Israel-Palestine thing is something I've never really understood or known the history of. Can someone recommend 1-2 books so I can have an informed opinion?

I don't know if there are any 1-2 books you can read. That shit goes back so far. And while all historical texts have some kind of bias, ones covering that particular area are even worse than usual. Even if you read quite a few it will be hard to extract the real truth from so many conflicting accounts.
Also, unlike other histories, there are so many incredibly complex and significant events that you have to understand. I mean, you can read a whole book just about the Six-Day War. Heck, you could probably spend months just learning about the life of Moshe Dayan. It may be difficult to get a real understanding if you come from a more zoomed out perspective.
Of course, this all assumes you only care about the events that happened between the time Palestine became a British colony and the present. If you care about the roots in ancient history, you have to start sorting out the true history from the biblical myths. Good luck with all that.
And of course, part of the true history is that those cultures believe in some amount of myth that perpetuates the problem. One of the huge obstacles is that there is no definitive true history of the conflict.
It may be the oldest ongoing tribal conflict ever.
What was that scene from the West Wing? "It's incredibly hot, and there's no water."
Crash Course guy is right that it isn't a religious war. But it is thousands of years old. Yes, you can trace the conflict back to the British and say they must have started it because it was peaceful during Ottoman times.
However, that particular area of the world had seen this conflict also in the ancient times. No matter how many times you believe the temple in Jerusalem was built, destroyed and built again, it was built at least once and destroyed at least once because what's left of it is still there.
Before the Ottomans and the Romans, there were Hebrew Kingdoms ithere. They warred with their neighbors such as the Assyrians. Tribal wars were kind of the thing way back in those BCE times.
Theodor Herzl actually imagined the zionist Jewish state being in Africa or somewhere else. Obviously he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, because you have to take land from somebody somehow. At that point in history there was already no unconquered land left on earth.
The point is that while the idea to give the jews a state in Palestine was a British one, they chose that location because of this ancient history. If Hebrews had not lived there and built that temple so long ago, the British may have chosen one of their other colonies as the place for a Jewish state.
Also, a lot is to blame on Hitler and Stalin. Because without giving the jews a reason to flee Europe, they wouldn't have all fled to the USA and Palestine, Jewish state or not. And then I would be Austrian or Polish instead of a New York, bagel eating, Mets-watching Jew.
Oh of glorious it would be. Imagine if thst area of the world were so peaceful and nice. The non-desert part is basically tropical paradise.
What if I claim.... this land is mine, there might be peace. Lay down your petty bombs for I has portal gun. You may live and die on the surface of the moon.

The divide and conquer technique that the British Empire used was strategically excellent for the time. Splitting populations based on religion and the promise of land is trivial. Just find an influential fool then you just watch your enemy destroy themselves.
The same technique was used to split India into India and Pakistan even though all religions were living comfortably together.
Looks like it. Are you having issues with something or just trying to get the most out of it? There's always an SSD too but that's a lot more work/money than just installing a couple sticks of RAM.
Edit: oh yeah it's an integrated gpu (in the pic). Adding more ram probably won't help with games.
Couldn't it potentially though? Don't integrated gpu's use system memory? Sometimes you set a fixed amount of system memory to be used for graphics, but other times it uses X amount based on free memory so wouldn't adding more help with that?

So shall it be written, so shall it be done.

Is RAM probably the major bottleneck in my laptop?

My next computer, probably in September, will probably have 24GB of RAM. My current laptop has 16.
