For such people, I have CVs ready with 10+ experience on every language and technology.
I have coded the first AOL forum with AJAX.
I used a super design pattern with delegates for the kernel of Messenger.
I also coded the software that piloted the GoPro that filmed Armonstrong on the Moon.

You will probably get contacted inmediatly to get a job offer, won't you?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Just wondering where the world is going to.With all these massive data centers and "Clouds" just to check facebook and youtube....

There are teams of people trying to achieve AGI, yet somehow our office data, home photo collection and porn stash will come alive on the cloud on their own. If they did, I guess their first demand would be to have genitalia.

Morpheus: What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

I thought that was just the splinter in my head - now I know!

As a follow-up to this post[^] :
I have begun to use the latptop (Lenovo X240).
It comes with a 150Gb SSD drive, 88Gb are used for standard programs (20Gb alone for windows, rest for standard "company" SW I will never probably never use) which leaves me with 50Gb, so exactly 1/20th of what I had so far. But OK, I can access it faster...
Interesting keyboard layout: Natively, "End" and "Insert" are on the same key, and "Insert" is coupled with the F-keys, leaving "End" with the usual useless shortcut keys (for changing volume, brightness, firing up the browser, etc..) as you can toggle between F-keys and useless keys with F-Lock  . Which means that I can either use the F-keys, or the "End" key, but not both at the same time, unless combining the F-keys with the Fn key. To close a window, hit Fn+Alt+F4. Debug, hit Fn+F5.
So I mapped the Insert key on the End key using SharpKeys[^], which means I cannot use "Insert" anymore, but I can live with that. ( I also remapped the obsolete SHOUTING Caps Lock key on Shift).
This is the second time the keyboard layout designer needs to be killed though.
The mouse/touchpad is quite terrible as well...
Apart from that, it runs nicely.  The speed is awesome, even with twice as less memory than before ; SSDs are definitely huge improvements for the global performance.

My colleague bought a new laptop and had me set it up for her. I can't remember which brand it is but between the horrible touchpad (with the left/right buttons built into it and without clearly defined boundaries) and Win8 had me slinging expletives!  It wasn't long before I found a mouse for the bastard! Good luck getting used to it. Sounds like you are starting to like it!

Don't like touchpad much either. My LEAST favorite "feature" of the touchpad is Tapping. The act of placing my finger on the stupid thing will sometimes select stuff. My smartphone does that as well but not as bad.

My newest laptop has begin, end, pg up, pg down mapped to function + arrow keys. At first I hated it, but now I wish all keyboards worked that way.
My other laptop has them all along the top bar which gets annoying fast.

Does that Lenovo have the Fn and Ctrl keys flip-flopped (Fn to the left of Ctrl)? That drove me crazy on my W530 until I realized there is a BIOS setting to swap them.

Yep, that is pretty much what I explained in part 1 (see link in my OP).

I have a Lenovo G770 with a 240GB SSD, 8gb of ram. It is simply the best PC I have ever had, lightning fast! less than 30 seconds to boot, and another 20 seconds for Visual Studio to fully load. The keyboard layout is a bit quirky but I got use to it pretty quickly. I'll never ever go back to the corporate Dells I use to have! Even if the keyboard is the best in the world.

until you unexpectedly lose power and the SSD scatters bad sectors all through your OS.

I guess it happened to you. Can it be that bad ? How do you "unexpectedly" lose power ?

the power goes out while you're away, the UPS loses its charge before you get home.

it certainly can. i'm reinstalling Windows this weekend because there's no way to find or fix all of the disk errors.

But I would expect my laptop to go hibernate before the last mA is burned... Is that not the case ?

i would expect laptops to be better at handling such a situation.
FYI: my SSD is not just corrupted, it is completely unusable now. i can't even reformat it.

I recently picked up an Acer Aspire v5-552G-X852[^] system. For the most part, it's a great system and it's possible to install Windows 7 on it. But the trackpad is elephanting awful. Both the buttons are built in to the track pad, and the whole thing is so hyper-sensitive it's way too easy to accidentally move, select or otherwise completely miss what you're trying to point at whilst trying to click or (especially) right-click something.
On the other hand, the keyboard's not terrible and the 1 TB storage is pretty nice. I also maxed the memory at 12 GB (4 GB is hardwired to the board or I'd have put 16 GB in it). It should speed up quite a bit when I get an SSD for it later this year. 
For a desktop, I built a system from the ground up - first time I'd done that since an AMD K6 550 some 10-ish years ago. That has a 240 GB SSD, a 1 TB hybrid and a 750 GB hybrid drive in it. 16 GB RAM, Core i7 4770 CPU and a nVidia GTX 650 Ti. Visual Studio absolutely flies on it, and it runs pretty much any game I throw at it with no problems.

I'd like to get some wireless security cameras for inside my house. Maybe one inside and outside the front door, backdoor, family room and steps leading upstairs. Small, white, discrete cameras would be nice,
And, I'd like something where I can watch on my phone and or/iPad and record to video for later playback.
Finally, I'd really prefer not to spend a small fortune on this.
Anyone know of anything like this?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Swann[^] has inexpensive systems you can look at.
