Like you, I've had reasonable performance from Clevo/Sager for software development. One thing I would possibly look for: Get the _heaviest_ laptop you can find with them. Those typically have much more aggressive cooling systems than the lighter models. Case in point: Sager 9377s at XoticPC. If you go to the gallery and locate the view of the bottom of the laptop, you'll notice multiple intakes with extensive venting out the back. XoticPC in particular can do a copper cooling upgrade which might be worthwhile to evaluate. (Haven't tried it personally)
I'm mentioning XoticPC in particular because I've gotten 3 or 4 laptops through them and have been happy. They're pretty slow to ship for custom options (they don't keep a ton of custom parts in inventory), but I've been happy with the customized product.
Laptops will always be a bit of a problem due to small packaging/weight requirements, but perhaps these tweaks can help get you there.
Hey, its even a New Year's Story. If you take a moment to understand the picture he's painting, it'll give you some good perspective on your life.

Xotic PC has quite a few good laptops and a ton of customization options. I've purchased several laptops for myself, my wife, and my customers through them. The one big warning I would say about them is do NOT order them if you are in a hurry. They do take time to build and ship if you get customization options, and they don't seem to carry a large supply of their parts on hand. (Don't blame them for inventory tax $)
Other than that, they're always super friendly to deal with and I always get my laptop just the way I want it.
Some are fanless that I use for linux boxes, some are rackmount with multiple motherboards per 1U case, and their prices are add-ons are cheaper than newegg.
Nope, don't work for 'em, just used their products for about 8 years now.
The big issue is that the Epinephrine Inhalers were grandfathered, which is why they were allowed over the counter.
The FDA has been trying to figure out how to get rid of them for years because of heart issues -- by changing the propellent, it becomes a new "drug" -- propellants "might" react with the active ingredient, creating something harmful.... (FDA logic).
By being a new drug, that means it would have to be FDA approved now -- no more grandfather clause -- and the FDA has no plans on approving the epi-inhalers.
I used to have lots of problems to when I first tried TortoiseGit a little while ago, but then it suddenly stabilized. I haven't had a crash or failure from it for a while now. Might want to give it a try again.
I was starting to think the same thing for a while, until I thought about it and realized that of all the games I "had to have" growing up, there were only 1 in 10 that truly captivated me.
Same rule applied in the arcades -- there were 1-2 games out of the entire shop that got my attention, the rest I played once or twice, and walked away.
Age does have something to do with it because we see the formula a game is based on and instantly realize "nothing new here" -- but I don't think its as much of a factor as you might think at first.
Good games have always been a rarity in a sea of mediocrity -- just like any other story telling or entertainment medium.
Launched IE-8 on my laptop for the first time in months and pointed it at the site's homepage.
While it displays fine, you can feel the lag when scrolling/resizing the window. I cannot imagine what it would be like on an older machine running IE-6.
That said.... the library is unique, inventive, and solves a serious issue with cross-browser compatibility... kudos for thinking outside the box!
I had a Fujitsu T4210 for a few years and after seeing people struggle with LOUSY HP and Dell notebooks, I was very surprised at how zippy that little tablet was. (Can't comment on the latest round of tablets). It was fairly robust as well... survived a 3 ft plunge onto a concrete floor (I wouldn't recommend it as a regular practice though!)
Whatever you do be sure to uninstall the Norton Security trialware that comes with it. Performance will be significantly better.
-No, I really meant the Boeing Museum of flight, rather than the Boeing Factory tour. (Boeing Field, not Everett)
[I checked the physical address mentioned on their website Although when I visited it, I thought it was at the North End of Boeing Field rather than the south end.]
However, I think my review is out of date because its been about 15 years since I was there (before Boeing bought McDonnell-Douglas), and the building doesn't look familiar to me. (And the time I visited, they DEFINITELY didn't have an air park!) They must have had an expansion since I was there last.
-Boeing Museum in Seattle http://www.museumofflight.org/ Fairly small, but has a lot of early pioneer planes hanging there.
-Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinville Oregon (About 1 hr south of Portland) http://www.sprucegoose.org/ (It houses Howard Hughes' famed 'Spruce Goose'... you'll never understand just how huge that puppy is until you're nose-to-nose with it.)

Correct. I was using something called "Code Co-op" released back in something like 96-97 era. It used email as its back end for communication.

Nope, I'm not affiliated with them, just another satisfied fan.
