Holy Cow - Windows 8. OMG

Talking about the majority, not about everyone. A lot of people hated 7 when it came out too. What am I supposed to do then, be dishonest then? :hmm:

Need a decent USB stick

Thanks, I'm keeping these an option, but I want to discuss more about USBs with the poster below before I make a decision. I suppose I need random write speeds. I will look into the USBs you've posted, but not today. No time today, but will do tomorrow morning while I'll be having breakfast...

Need a laptop for <$1000

Those figures seem very optimistic, I have to look more into Haswell and analyze the data. Thanks for asking. I don't really mind carrying heavier stuff, that'd be sport-y. I'm looking for fast program/OS startup times and fast page load times. My last (current) PC has an i5 Ivy, SATA2 HDD...

What did they cost last year? My concern is to get a decent laptop that we spoke about earlier for the price in question.

Theoretically that should increase the battery life. I wonder how much the equivalent of the standard i5 variant laptop Ivy will cost, I have a feeling it'll be a couple hundred bucks more.

Yea, something came through, so my budget increased. Any idea about what'll come with Haswell? 1-2 sounds fluid, kinda reminds me of those times when you wait until the end of the year. I wouldn't mind waiting for 1-2 months THAT much though, I mean it's possible, even though uncomfortable...

scandisk doesn't work...?

I'm gonna do that later next week. Lots of stuff to do, no time to run tests for a few days now. I'll post back with the results.

Need a decent USB stick

I need a USB stick to have live OS in and to store various data. I know that the "average" USB sticks are usually pretty bad... So what would you recommend? I'd like something like 16-32-64GB, I'm not sure about the prices (and I don't want to break my wallet), so I'm not sure which one I'll be...

Bad Company 2 is still such a fun game!

Comes down to preference. I focus on the future, I always like new stuff, unless its overall quality's worse. Map design isn't the only thing in a game, for me at least.

Sorry, I misspelled. I meant sfc/scannow. I'm running 7 Home Premium x64. In C, there's 4.2Gb free, out of 31Gb. Chkdsk passes with no errors, by the way.

Do certs really help?

I think they work as an addition to formal education, and are below experience. Though if you have any friends/connections, they may just give you the little advantage of showing that you actually know the stuff and that they can give you a position that you won't screw up. Would like to get...

Windows 8 blamed for huge slump in PC sales

Sounds like the same phenomenon like GTA4 and school shootings - nonsense.

Mixing Cards

So basically you'd see your desktop on one monitor and the game on the other? Would that be of any use? Just wondering.
