I got a refurbed 15.4" WUXGA Dell XPS to buy time until the 64 bit processors and mobo chipsets come out with WUXGA. It cost a little over $1600. I think that it is plenty readable, as I am using it right now. I understand the logic...

I had a Highpoint mobo IDE-RAID0 set of drives once. When it crashed, it was impossible to recover. The data that was backed up to the USB hard drive, was fine, even if I did lose a time window. The data that wasn't backed up ......

The HT chip works wonders when working with VirtualPC. You can give the VirtualPC a higher priority, without slowing the system to a crawl.

I'm coding against the .NET side of things (C#/C++, 2003/Whidbey), and the IBM WSAD/Eclipse side of things. I use VirtualPC, SQL2K/Yukon, Oracle 9+, DB2, MySQL, JBoss/Tomcat, CodeSmith, and Sparx EA. Of course, not always at the same...

I know a guy who did that, but cash flow was an issue for him. Make sure you have a solid/regular income that covers your needs, the house payments, and the repair materials before making it a go. Based on the sale process going...

If you can sell, you will always have a job, you will always make big money, you can leave anytime you want, and starting off, you will probably make more money than McD's. If you are up on technology, try something in IT sales. Even...

What about applying some thin heat conducting material to the case, which connects to the watercooled radiator on the outside? Your lappy would simply disconnect from the radiator, not the pumps, when traveling. As for laptop vs....

I don't want to dampen the excitement, but... How much value does this CPU have without the memory addressing the new mobo chipsets will provide. I mean, you are still capped at 2 Gb RAM, and there aren't significant performance...

It happens in the corporate world, too. When you get there, always have a backup set of whiteboard markers and erasers. That way the jerk can't monopolize being the gatekeeper at the UML meetings. For effect, it is fun to whip them out...
