All decent recent computers have at least a Intel Core i3/i5/i7, or an AMD Athlon II or Phenom II.Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron are overkill and only really used in servers and crazy-powered workstations.
Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad is older but still decent.
Don't bother with Intel Pentium or Atom, or AMD Sempron. Those are bottom of the line, underpowered.
A recent Pentium 4 should work OK though.
As for video cards, look for ATi/AMD 4000 or higher, or Nvidia 200 or higher.
Intel IGP "Integrated Graphics" are bad for gaming, but work decent for video playback.
Some cards decode the video instead of the processor, but usually this doesn't matter too much unless you have a crap processor.
At least 2GB of ram (4 recommended), DDR2 or DDR3.
All true, especially when you're buying new hardware. I would only bother with the Core 2 line if I desperately needed a PC and didn't have much money, otherwise I'd buy a Intel i3 (just enough money) or i5 (this is a good investment).
If you buy an i7 you're a rich yuppie with too much money and little common sense. Resource intensive corporate deployment can sensibly use high-end hardware, but for this price no sane end user should buy it.
However he's buying from a friend, so the system could be older.
Another tidbit:
You do realize though that a used Pentium 4 system can be bought dirt cheap? (50-200$ or even for free since businesses will be glad if you get it "off their hands" when they upgrade so they don't have to pay for environmentally safe disposal. These PCs are perfectly serviceable and enough for a bunch of purposes.

A friend is trying to sell me a PC in about a few hours. I need to know what to look for if I am going to play these kind of videos.I believe Flaser once told me if memory serves it is the kind of processor you have that really matters.
Another thing what should I look for to see if the PC is outdated or not?
I will not be able to contact Fakku while I am at his home which is out of town so I need the answer quickly.
Even Pentium 4 (especially high-end models) can handle 720p playback. For 1080p (Full HD, lot bigger resolution) playback you might need to use CoreAVC, a commercial decoding software (it works like a codec, so all Direct Show application can benefit from its use... ie MPC-HC, Windows Media Player, Winamp, etc., etc.) that can drastically improve your decoding.
I'd say 2.5-3.0 Ghz Pentium 4 (that is *NOT* Celeron!) CPUs can reliably handle 720p playback, but 1080p is not guaranteed.
Later Intel processors - Dual Core, Core 2, Core 2 Duo, etc. - , can all reliably deal with playback, especially since FFDShow now support multi-core decoding (so it takes advantage of the fact that new CPUs are in fact 2-4 actual cores in a single chip, tightly integrated).
I don't know about Celeron CPUs though, but that's becoming less and less an issue as nowadays there's no strict division between the two brands as there are loads of intermediate processors and often the amount of cache is the only difference.
...if it has 1 MByte of cache, then it should be powerful enough. If your friend can't tell you this, then you can check it on Intel's site. There's a specific model code on the top of each and every Intel CPU. Use this site to find out what it really can do:
http://processorfinder.intel.com/
http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/cs-016552.htm
For instance I use an E5200 Dual Core chip that's practically a new architecture (Wolfdale) with less cache... and I got it for 120$. (In the US this would've cost me 70$, yeah I gotta pay tax too, and the bastard retailers convert prices as if 1 Euro = 1$... so, yeah).
...the new Core i3, i5 and i7 CPUs are all more than capable of Full HD playback.
...for the same breakdown of AMD processors, you'll have to ask someone else, as I've been baptized in the church of Intel and have yet to commit heresy.
Is that it? No.
Modern video-cards can sometimes help with decoding.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DXVA
DirectX Video Acceleration allows the GPU to help with playback.
To use it you need:
-1. DXVA compatible video-card. Check here to see which cards support it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Video_Decoder (...so anything after the HD 2000 series).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_PureVideo (G84+ core, NVidia's epileptic naming convention doesn't do anyone any favors).
-2. Use a renderer that's capable of taking advantage of this. (Ie. on Media Player Classic - Homecinema, you have to use the EVR renderer. This can be set in the program options). You'll also have to activate this feature on some media player programs. (For MPC-HC this has to be done by configuring the FFDShow filter).
Is DXVA necessary? Not really, most modern CPUs can handle playback on their own. However it can be a good thing as this will entirely offload playback to your video-card which can make the system more responsive and "snappier".

@All:Stay on topic please, and the topic is clearly demons, in particular Japanese ones.
@Flaser:
There is a obviously a big difference between demons and saints, dwarfs, or gods. You want to act educated, but "a book written by historians or culture antropologists" is the only reference that comes to your mind? And you even spelled anthropologists wrong!
Either your brain is very empty, so that the only thing you can associate with Japanese demons are the Catholic church and Norse Mythology (!?), or you are just a western European chauvinist, so that you can't stand that the culture of someone else is in the spotlight. Either way, since you are inapt to contribute to the topic, please refrain yourself from posting and especially spamming huge, OT images without a spoiler.
@RanmaSyaoran:
Sounds very interesting! Do you have already researched any specific books, and do you know where to get them?
Fuck you and the horse you rode on, you grammar nazi!
Can't you get it in your mind that supernatural beings are just that - supernatural. Bohoo! They're not saints or dwarfs, these are fuckin' DEMONS!
I can't believe you're trying to pick a fight on the genealogy of imaginary creatures as if they've existed. You believe non of the western nations had anything similar to what the Japanese have? No, I'm not some fucking European chauvinist, I'm just pointing out that humans all around the globe are a lot more similar than we'd be given to think... we even dreamed up similar fantasies practically worlds apart in those ages when a man would likely never see the other side of the globe.
I could list some historian authors, but given that all of the ones I read were Hungarian that would be really helpful, right? There is good (well researched) *fiction* though that I can recommend in English from Robert Graves, titled "Greek Myths" (1955).
...and yeah, I need to swear a lot, it makes my prose flow more freely as I'm not bogged down by the need to write concise polite sentences for a fucktard who takes each and every critical reaction as an attack on his person and his beliefs.

You gotta do it like you'd do it with a girl. Carefully lineup and initially go slow, until it has accommodated you. Then you can increase the tempo.

The Japanese mythology has more demons that any other mythology. When I just think of our European Pagan mythologies, we have max 30, the Japanese has several hundreds. Japan has always been at war, and this has given rise to many cruel fantasies. I loved to watch Inu Yasha because of this, and I played Throne of Darkness (a rather unknown game), but I never studied the Japanese mythology in greater detail. Nevertheless, I am fascinated by the thought of soldiers overrunning a town at night, butchering the inhabitants, burning the houses, while the woman are committing jigai, or trying at least. And all of this in a chaos of fear, flames, and violence. So, does anyone know a good source for learning about Japanese demons, and their connections to Japan's history? Does anyone know any Animes/Mangas that deal with those topics? Or even computer games?
Feel free to discuss anything that has something to do with Japanese demons here.
Thank you in advance!
You have no idea, do you?
For first, there's the Catholic mythology with more than 30 saints, and there that's a pantheon all of its own... with dozens of angels, devils, etc. etc. (though frankly these were pagan spirits, rituals, whatsoever that the Church absorbed and redressed in its own flavour. So when the people converted they could still hold their traditions, it was just "retconned" to be "Chritian").
Then you have the Norse and Greeco-Roman mythology which is pretty much the same, except the gods had different names over the ages... and different legends and myths were told about them, since a fucking 1000 years have passed.
Except just your garden variety "children's" Greek Mythology book, try and read something authentic, like one of the Viking Sagas or a book written by historians or culture antropologists.... hundreds of dwarfs (dark elves), elves, spritis, fey, minor gods, rivalizing pantheons (ie. the Irish vs. the Viking)...
...it's just as complicated and intricate as the Japanese.
All around the world, people saw weird shit they couldn't explain, and to be frank life and world's weird and idiosyncratic as-is. Today we have enough science (and it's beyond the grasp of most people) so that scientific detail can be a new mantra for the mindless masses... or JEEEHSUS!

All I see is marketing hype for laptop with a rather uninspired HID device instead a traditional QWERTY keyboard.
...and for the same price you could probably buy a gaming PC and a work laptop.
I never understood why people shell out 2-3x as much money so they can use their laptop for gaming. It will overheat, it won't have the same life expectancy (as either a desktop or work laptop) and you can't upgrade it (without it costing an arm and leg, for a system that already cost as much as a breast implants).
...and why the need to game wherever you are? That's for imbecile men-children who can't help but waste time whenever and where ever they are.
I mean come on, most of us has things like a job. If you go on a trip, chances are you have other things to do anyway:
-If it's business then you really should use your time to the fullest to do business (since either you or your company are paying top dollars to get you there).
-If it's leisure you're there either for the environment (tourism, scuba diving, trekking, mountain climbing, wildlife reserve sight-seeing, etc). or the people (friend, a comic/anime con, reltives, etc.) so you really should be doing what you're there for.
...and for communication, swapping data, heck even playing movies, browsing the net or watching porn/hentai you're mid-range work laptop is more than sufficient.

Never gonna happen because it's a hardware issue.
The two consoles have vastly different architecture. PS3 has a bunch of identical CPUs and is a powerhouse. The PS2 had dedicated, special chips and co-processors for various tasks. Even on PC all those have to be "emulated", and until recently when PCs became very powerful was beyond what is possible.

Sorry to talk politics here, as I'm sure that for the majority it drives you insane or bores you to death. But..... I was wondering why your what you are when it comes to politics:I will say it flat out I am a strong democrat moderate, I feel that Democrats push for the future while Republicans push to the past, just my opinion.
But the real questions is... How about you?
In the EU Democrats would be conservatives, while the Republicans would be the lunatic fringe on the right.
I'm a European and my political views weigh to the left so I'm a socialist. I don't deny that although society has responsibility for each and every citizen (to each according to his needs, from each according his abilities), I agree with centrists and paleo-conservatives that the citizen in turn also has responsibility for his own welfare and that of the state.
Fiscally I'm conservative (there's no free meal), but I find neo-liberal/neo-conservative (in the US the two are pretty much the same) absolute capitalism abhorrent. I believe monetary reform is necessary, that nations should retake the monopoly from bank that fractional reserve banking should be abolished.
On the question of personal freedoms I'm a hard line liberal. Free speech, free religion, freedom of press, etc... This doesn't mean you're free to do anything. This means that as long as you're not endangering others or restricting *their* freedom, you can do whatever you want.

I have Worked using 3D TV in research. (more specific this one: http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Televisions/All-VIERA-Flat-Panel-HDTVs/model.TC-P42GT25 ). And I have a better understanding on how 3D effects work. The way that 3D works is because of a series of frame-sequential images consisting of a left view and right view simultaionsly. As the frame-sequential video is playing, the 3D glasses synchronizes with the 3D glass to ensures that each eye only ever views the image it is meant to see. (example left-eye, left view ; and right-eye, right view).
Try closing your left eye and have your right eye open, and then close your right eye and close your left eye. Keep doing that simultaneously, and that the effect that the active shutter 3D Glasses is doing.
What provably causes some headachs while watching 3D is because of the human eye not being accustom to the the active shutter effect. In addition, since 3D is displaying two different views at a very fast frame rate, the eye is not accustom in viewing 2 images simultaneously.
My experiences while using this 3D tv:
- I watched anime and hentai using this 3D Tv just for fun; It was interesting enough. The effect that I saw look like it was a stack of sheets where the background was on the bottom, and the characters was on the top. There was no depth at all, which makes perfect sence since animation is 2D. At the moment, I don't belive it would be possible for Anime to achieve a 3D effect with out the used of computer generated graphics due to the depth.
- I have watched HD porn in 3D. There wasn't any noticeable differences in 3D mode. I think this will have potential, and I'm not sure if there are any porn filmed in 3D yet.
- 3D TV primary market right now is in Computer Generated graphics primaraly because of the depth, like Pixar movies, and Video Games.
As for those who are interested in wanting a 3D tv, but with out using 3d Glasses, there is this option available:
http://www.realview.ie/
At the moment, I'm not really familiar how this actually works.
_._
Since each eye only sees half of the images, effective frame-rate is halved. So you only see a 60 Hz display like those old CRT monitors. The switching between the left and right eye picture also creates a 60 Hz flickering effect.

Interesting question, on one hand if there were no guns we'd all still be hitting each other with rocks and that would get boring and we might just give up and live in peace and harmony and wild unicorns fart rainbows or something. On the other hand if guns were just illegal and all the muggers still had them yeah we'd be fucked.The Ancient-, Middle Ages, the Renaissance beg to differ:
Lots of people were still killed with old fashioned cold steel. Back then a trained man could kill several opponents if he had skill, while a knight could kill dozens of peasants since he owned arms and armor far ahead what others could ever posses with their meager wealth.
Firearms, for all their deadliness are a great source of democracy: they give the common man the chance to kill the powerful tyrant, the wealthy lord, the trained soldier, the cunning assassin alike...
...with a flick of a finger and a little training.
Egality didn't become fashionable until serfs with weapons had the guts to enforce it - and could afford said weapons, and said weapons were effective enough. The rest is history.

What OS do you use?
Usually it's just right-clicking your desktop --> properties. You should see two devices now (two windows). Select you secondary display (that says something like XYZ Television), and set its resolution to either 1280x720 or 1920x1080 if you have a HD TV, 720x480 if you have a non HD one.
You might need to activate or tweak your secondary output, this is usually under the advanced options in a special control panel by your graphic driver.

To all anime veterans: This is the declaration, if not war then open hostilities against all anime neophytes who've just discovered this medium and just gotta tell you why it's awesome.
Instead writing a manifesto, I'll just write who I am, where I come from and why these young ones annoy the fuck out of me. When I can, I ignore them, but that's hard to do when they scream in your face.
I've been watching anime for more than 15 years. That might have nothing on the heroic age western veterans of anime who started before I was even born, but at least I can say I've been at this for a while. Frankly I can sympathize more with their generation than those lucky enough to have Cartoon Network's adult swim and ANN pamper them from the get go.
Why? Because I live in East Europe. Beside a couple of titles (Sailor Moon, DBZ - the later was even banned!) no anime was broadcast here for a good 10 years. We didn't have fan-subbed VHS cassettes either. All we had was the Internet and shitty real media to early windows media (DivX done wrong) transcripts of said VHS tapes painstakingly leeched bit-by-bit through the then forming Internet. Often through dial-up... or you paid big bucks to a rich guy with broadband, so they'd burn them onto CD-R. Yes CDs. I still have a Neon Genesis Evangelion RIP around that was mpg. transcripts of VHS rips, so it took up 13 CDs.
So back then, anime was something rare, exotic and hard to get hold of. You had to go out of your way to get it, you were scouring the neonatal file-sharing networks that would give users used to the convenience of torrent nightmares, you arranged meeting and swapped CDs for big bucks like some shady music pirate.
Over the years I've watched hundreds of titles. Eventually the novelty wore off, but I was hooked by then. Every once in a while I found a title that was just awesome:
-Explosive Action!
-Really slap-stick and free flowing comedy!
-A nice story with some dramatic overtones that made you *think*
-A very good setting with some quaint questions about the state of life (back before the moe storm, anime used to pump out exotic settings by the dozen).
-Memorable characters who *felt* real, more than a mere collection of stereotypes
Is that type of anime gone? Hell no. It's just rare. It was rare back then too, but we old fans tend to reminiscence over the exceptionally good titles. 90% of everything is crap. That didn't change.
...but then YOU show up. YOU just SAW THE BEST THING EVER! It's SO COOL, because it has NINJAS in it! ...and all the super-kinetic ACTION!
Yeah, yeah I try to move out of the way, go about my business...
...but YOU KEEP SCREAMING, that I SHOULD WATCH IT! THAT IT's THE BEST THING EVER!
Now I'm pissed.
Entertaining? Maybe. For a newborn each and every joke is new. Good? Could be... chances are it won't. This isn't the OVA boom anymore. Anime like everything is else is done by committees, rarely daring to be experimental or even try new things. Best? Get real.
You want to know what's best is?
-BEST is when Spike blows you away as Blues is running in your veins and the whole world hurts.
-BEST is when Noriko blasts Jupiter away, and you can feel everything being ripped away from the heroines through the caprices of space-time dilation.
-BEST is when the heroine whispers to the hero "What big teeth you have!"... and Fuse "eats" her and discards the last of his humanity.
-BEST is when Goto screams "It's already too late now!" and the tension building all this time finally lets loose and all that can stop the coming chaos is the ragtag SV2 and one Shinobu Nagumo... who still has feelings for the man behind all of this.
So, young ones. What's to be done?
Watch some anime. Older titles. Newere titles. Broaden your horizons a bit. Experiment, try new things, let the new experiences build you. Eventually wisdom and a feel for what things are great will come to you on its own.
...just leave me the hell alone, until you can form coherent sentences and compare you favorite show to more than 2 titles.
