Something wrong then. My Dell is half the power you have and the emulator starts and gets to the home screen in 2 or 3 minutes at most. Yes, it's not the fastest tool in the world, but it is very useful for Android development. If you want faster response then plug your Android device in and use that.

You are right. There is definitely something wrong.
Here's the deal. Brand new computer with Win8. I ran the emulator first time and it started up nicely.
So I had to be greedy. I knew about the Haxm Intel thing which was supposed to speed up emulation and now i can't get emulator to start. I'm working through numerous steps now to get it back. ugh!
Thanks,

I think the hatred is maybe those who used the original 8.0 or whatever. This new one goes to the desktop and stays there and works well for me.

I think people hate it because it is different. I had Win 8 form the day it was released and now my computer is running Win 8.1 and the only problems I had were due to drivers, which wasn't really a fault in windows but my hardware - My headphones drivers have overwritten my graphics card drivers and I got BSOD after 15 seconds of getting into windows. Even though I am not really sure why Nvidia needs sound drivers. But with the recovery and safe mode it was an easy fix, just had to uninstall both and install them in reverse order, so Nvidia had it's files and now it works just fine.

What's everyone using to encrypt thumbdrives now-a-days as Truecrypt has its issues?
Should I just purchase a Kingston DTVP30 or something?
I have a blank 8GB but can't find any freeware to encrypt it with. Kingston website doesn't have a tool to encrypt a thumbdrive for what I could see.
I have a Windows 7 Pro on my main computer and it doesn't have bitlocker (I do have a technet subscription though).

Depending on your use case, Truecrypt may still be ok (as long as you don't use 7.2, use 7.1 or below).
Despite what happened with it's developers, there doesn't seem to be any known exploits as of yet. If you just need 'good-enough' encryption, it's still fine. Bitlocker works too, but restricts you to Windows.
IMHO, if you need better encryption than Truecrypt, then you need one of these bad boys.[^]

Essentially 
If what you are planning to encrypt is so sensitive that Truecrypt isn't sufficient, then just don't store it digitally at all

It's about risk at this point. We have need for backing up the hard copies on a non-cloud service and easy enough for non-tech group member to be able to use it. If it is in Truecrypt, then I would assume a pro (or lucky noob) would be able to break its encryption if it were to be physically compromised.

No, one of these[^].
I mean, that never failed before, right?

They still can be physically compromised..... key's letters can be mixed up out of QUERTY etc.

If you don't work for MI-5, and your porn isn't likely to be sought after by government agencies with huge decryption facilities, TrueCrypt is perfectly secure enough.
If you do work for MI-5, just leave your unencrypted laptop on the back seat of your car.
