I don't either see why he would need the laptop screen anymore. When at workplace, close the lid and connect the peripherals. Solves the display problem quite easily.
Disclaimer: I should point out that this post conflicts with most of what I read, including OSHA documents. Since I have no expertise in this area, you should ignore my advice. Do what OSHA suggests, as government knows best.
Phew, thanks for the disclaimer. I was almost suckered to believe some professional CAD systems integrator with 30 years of practical experience setting up systems for the clients with excellent results.
That is simply not true. The top of the viewable screen area should be at your eye level. The human neck is in most comfortable position when you look in a slight down-angle.
Yup. I keep my laptop closed at work. It just can't possibly work any other way. Big screen with readable fonts, versus small screen that I'd have to lean forward to squint at. When it's replaced with a "retinal" display soon it would be even worse.
Yep, there's yar problem. Right now we are a bit stuck in the gap where nice high-DPI displays are appearing, but the operating system and apps are still not perfect in terms of enlargening fonts and UI elements nicely.
But the new laptop can't really support it, only 2 thunderbird connectors and I need one for ethernet.
I completely understand what you mean. For niche stuff like that, torrenting is absolutely fine. In such case it's the marketing department's own failure for not providing a reasonable distribution channel for the product at all.
Of course not, it would just be a sad coincidence. Technically you should then store your material in some kind of legal torrents site. I understand that the situation is bit problematic though, as the popularity of the sites like TPB gives indeed a quite nice distribution channel for freeware stuff too.
The cannot connect screen's retry button exits Steam, but I haven't had any other problems.
Interestingly enough, at the same time I've had the experience that the "cannot connect" screen's quit button retries the connection instead of exiting. So yes, it seems like the buttons' functions are a bit mixed up there, or something.
What's the people's experience here with hybrid drives, have they been reliable and have you been happy with them otherwise? I'd just like to know in general.
Sure, because none of those things could have been done with a desktop using the usb, printer or serial ports...
All those three are problematic. USB adds a completely new abstraction layer there -- you can't just directly do a write/read to the pins, but you must have a device that properly registers itself to the bus and all that hassle. Printer and serial ports on the other hand are only found from special PCs any more...
Also, that Verizon bill payment is something mandatory, so people will just put up with the software even if it's a bit crappy. Games however are "optional fun" and if the game plays badly, it's easy to chuck it away and try some another. So yes, you are correct.
There's many, many ways to exhaust the resources through a browser. Just generate a huge document. Or sit in a recursive loop in JS until the stack fills the memory. By using imagination, various other methods can probably be found.

Your hands should also well-supported. Hanging hands can cause terrible neck pain too.

Heh, thunderbird connector...

Did I laugh when I noticed the mistake? You get your ass.
I actually laughed my ass off when I noticed that mistake.

Have to agree with this, content availability issues are quite often the reason why I myself pirate.
What will that accomplish?
It's always good to curb the piracy a bit. It eats Internet bandwidth anyway.
Invest in VPN service providers.
So pay for warezing? How about investing in buying the real products instead of pirating them.

I find it sympathetic if someone says "spinning rust", always gives me a jolly laugh.

What crap?

Ain't those FF memory leak issues already a blast from the past?
Linux Mint fanboys are another similar group.
I hate marketing jargon especially "cloud".
It does not take much to annoy you, then. :P
Then why are you meta-advertising the Aegis Padlock Pro?
Sigh...
