Hear hear. I've got a late 2009 white MacBook and it's probably my favorite computer, despite being my oldest and slowest on paper. With an Intel SSD and 8GB of RAM it handles everything I throw t it, plus being one of the most lap-friendly computers, ever.

Surface Pro or RT? See my post, I <3 my Pro.

Here are the contents of the two laptop sleeves, sorry but uhh - no way am I emptying the camera bag. I used to carry a ton of stuff with me, but that was pretty dumb so now I try to go minimal. Say what you will about it, but the Surface Pro has REALLY helped in that respect. It's amount of power and flexibility…

Right, so I'm a total bag geek. I will admit that by far these are not the only bags I have, by any stretch, but they are the ones that I use daily. I try to be "modular" so I can carry as much or as little as I choose to. First are my bags, then the contents in the comments. I use a kinda crappy Blackburn pannier…

This. I bought a Surface Pro mainly because I wanted/need the extra horsepower of the i5. I'm immensely happy with it, yet it's not a tablet for me - it's more of a laptop replacement.

Architecture. I'd be surprised if these apps run well, and if many run at all. It's going to have to not just emulate a system, but emulate architecture. Ask anyone who emulated Windows back in the PowerPC Mac days (you definitely *could*) how well that goes.

Whoa sweet - thanks Alan! As a bike commuter nutjob person, I realize that I need more to illuminate me. This looks like a pretty sweet weekend project here soon..

Two weeks ago, well, I should have taken a video.  You see I'd just got done snowblowing my parents place and took the long way home - via country roads.  Some snowdrift blasts in the mighty quad cab Dakota had given me courage.  Stupid, horrible, stupid courage.  

So there I am with a gigantic (no, seriously, it's a…

So what could back his entire story up, right here and now, would be his cell phone records. Or even a credit card reciept/record of sending the flowers to the funeral home. There you go. Done. It would still smell a little, but not reek now.

It rather reminds me of another Gawker site story, about a certain Apple employee and a certain Apple device. It's the tone against the guy that got me then, and is starting to get me now.

No. And I say that from experience, it's still got security holes like crazy, doesn't have rolling updates like Chrome, and doesn't sandbox like Chrome. Granted you can still get Chrome infected, but it takes a little more work.

Hear hear. My Macbook Pro has 16GB, and Chrome loves to go wild with it after being open for a day or two. I've noticed both Safari and Firefox being more conservative with usage, to the point where I'm starting to move back to Firefox.

Some of the 305 TPI's were shockingly fast. A buddy who had a '80 Trans Am with a 383 Stroker that was pretty healthy ran against a IROC with a 305 TPI and manual trans, and just barely beat him.

On 2, you are spot on - except for one instance I ran into. I knew trooper, and his favorite state-issued car was the '92 Camaro he held on to forever. He said it had a 350 and a 5 speed, but me being the know-it-all car geek teenager knew GM didn't offer the L98 with a manual, even in the B4C (most of those were…

No, it's not. I say from experience as back in the day, the good old days as we will call them, a small town my girlfriend lived in had a state trooper who had a SSP Mustang. Said Trooper had one of the last SSP 'Stangs and he had taken impeccable care of the thing, a '93 with a Manual trans. He also liked to get…

Whatever you do - don't stop working! That is until you are told to do so by the Labor Department or a lawyer. That will give your boss cause to terminate you, and will give even some minor suspicion.

Go to the labor department immediately. No need for a lawyer at all, the labor department covers all that. And if you have any hesitation, think about it this way - your boss is stealing from you. Every single day since the last time you've been paid, it would be like he's taking your phone, laptop, etc. If your…

Excellent point made, the 2900's are also tanks. Have a couple at work that should be EOL'd but they just keep running, at insanely high loads, all day long.

You might check out the HP DL380 Gen 5's. They're getting cheap on eBay, and they are killer hardware. Support plain old SATA disks if you can find sleds, and the P400i controller is a rockstar. They're *fast* too.

Yup, run multiples. Two 1U servers, one is for PFSense and the other is running Ubuntu 12.10 as a minecraft, mumble, samba, web, and etc. server. Third server is a Dell Latitude D630 with a busted display on a docking station running Ubuntu 12.04LTS which serves as the backup destination for all the machines in the…
