You have already been in training for this environment where all the edges of your view are filled with crap, you watch sports don't you. Does not your TV station have it's logo on the top right, your news feed has 1 or more marquee feeds tracking across the bottom.
Anyone who uses a TV, and the interweb more so, is being trained to use multiple input data streams.
A book does sound better.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I guess no-ones getting it.
Benchmark.

Can you explain it to me (I can't see it even now)
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I had that as possible solution. But could not get bench from substitute:
substitute: ?
stain: mark
standard: benchmark
|

When you substitute a player during a match, this is sometimes referred to benching the player.

Thank you Pete.
CCCs are much harder for non native English speakers.

They can be hard for native English speakers as well. I didn't get this one.

In sport if you substitute someone you 'bench' them.
|
|
|
|
|
Nice one. But it'll be hard to bench you if you keep them at this level.
Life is too shor

Good one! I didn't even get close.
Looking forward to your effort tomorrow, if it's that standard!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That's a folder, not a box.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

You are right. Is this folder ok for dev? Tools would be mostly Microsoft, Visual Studio, SQL server, etc.

I used to use a laptop to do development but it was always way too slow. It was likely the slower hard drives but I would imagine if you get a fast enough laptop, it could work just fine.

I've been using Laptops for the last several years. It is relatively slow. This one has 16G ram. I wish it can have more. But from Dell site, I did not see an option for more.

Others have suggested SSD.

I have a core2duo laptop with 8 gb ram and an ssd (some custom parts) and do fine with basic c# development. I run both vs 2013 and 2010, again not doing anything graphic intensive, just some basic business front ends using winforms or sometimes wpf.

The largest ram I can see so far is 16. I assume this should be enough. My current laptop also has 8.

That pretty much summarizes my experience. Unless you can spend $3000+ on a laptop, you'll get much better bang for your buck with a desktop.
I usually have at least one powerful desktop, which usually runs me CAD 1000-1500, and a less powerful laptop (under CAD 1000) that can still run VS and all the dev goodies.
Currently you can get an XPS 8700 i7 with 32GB RAM for CAD 1100-1500 depending on the other goodies you want.
I built my last system (Shuttle XPC, i7-2600K, 16GB, 128GB SSD, and the usual stuff) for CAD 1000 over three years ago and it is still my daily driver.
I need a new one because I need quad-monitor support and I'm debating whether to go with 4th gen i7 (possibly the XPS 8700) or 5th gen i7 (LGA2011).

Rest of the spec looks good, but throw in a dedicated SSD for OS and as build drive. "Hybrid" helps but doesn't cut the cheese.

No. It's a folded box...He need to develop it until it becomes a true box!
