If you have a Intel Kaby Lake processor (newer), use Intel graphics, and Google Chrome then don't upgrade.

The newer ThinkPads all hit this combo.
I am liking my x1. I have used a 600s, t20, t40, t61 and now the x1 carbon.
But I hate what they did with the Home/End/PgUp/PgDn buttons. They had room, why did they have to mess up the standard thinkpad keyboard layout.
My fingers have taking weeks to adjust.
Also something is funky with the touchpad. I almost never use it because I love the trackpoint, but when I do it is just not as responsive as it should be.
Yes physical DVDs are much more expensive than bits to get to my house. That isn't really surprising is it?
Now consider the licensing fees. Netflix can buy a DVD from Walmart for $16 and send it to 100s of people at year. They don't need to give the movie industry any more money than their share of that $16. Yes Neflix has to buy 10,000 copies, but still we are only talking $160,000 of money up front to distribute the movie.
Now what to take a guess how much Netflix pays to license a movie for streaming? Guess what, it is more than $160,000. A lot more. Like 100 TIMES more.
The postage is still cheaper.
Now that is an honest answer. But if you are working on something together you can see the other person think and understand them better. And a fast witty reply on talk is much more impressive.
Yes it is a good thing. We are not talking file transfer here, just two human trying to interact. If being a bit wasteful lets me reduce the turnaround time, then it is worth it.
After you have a testing infrastructure written and have a couple tests go learn about GCC code coverage profiling (assuming your language is supported) and have your tools generate coverage information. Then start writing tests to match holes in your coverage. It will take forever.
Also require all new code to have matching tests and setup automatic tests to slap developers who add code that doesn't get tested.
use fetchyahoo. I use that to automatically forward all my yahoo mail to my gmail account.;-)
The gmail web interface just blows aways anything yahoo provides. The 1Gig is not the real selling point. Now I just wish ebay would hire the google engineers to redesign their interface.
Read that article from a while back about Google's descriptions of their server farm. The found that electricity is cheaper than low power boxes. Unless you can buy low-power PCs with a minimal price overhead, it was better to just spread them out over more area and using more power/AC/rent.
Sad but true. That said they probably don't use P4's either.
Prior to Giese, there were only five documented cases of survival once clinical symptoms from rabies appeared, but each person had been immunized against the virus after being bitten

I wrote one that I use, works really well because it also hardlinks all the duplicates. https://github.com/wscott/link...

Buy a used laptop off ebay with a broken LCD. They work great and are cheap because no one wants them.

I just was to subscribe to the audio portion of the show so I don't miss any future shows. How can this really be nerdy without a podcast?

Ever used google suggest? Even more "wasteful".
Do any of the current IM clients send each keystroke?

Good luck.

No. It was called rdist.
No that is OR. XOR means you are happy if you turn it off or you go for a walk, but if you do both then the noise is a problem.
Celeron sounds like the english word celerity:
Worked great for me, pictures and all. All automatic by the Coral plugin for Mozilla.
BTW. The torrent took 21 seconds to download the file.
Damn Liberials!

I have heard you can do it yourself as well.
Just go to mirrordot.org...
BTW: You want to use ipcop (version 1.4.0 just released!) instead of Smoothwall.
BTW the first download link is a torrent that is maxing out my line at 351 kB/s with all seeds and no peers. (gotta love bittorrent)
Seed this torrent.
