Stangely they haven't since Windows 10 installed, they hid from 8, 10 gets the "Well it's more sensible than that thing you had before, I don't see why they have to change everything when you get used to how it works". My Mum had a thing where Win 3 was what everyone used so its the best (read thats what they used in the office) and hated Win 95 to 2000 as it was different, when she started to use my PC more when she retired (it had XP at this time) she was happy with it, then that PC died and I got 8 (fail!) updated to 10 not broken it, I mean I have only killed it once (win update).

In 2001, the color for unity was white. In 2002, the color for God's separation was orange. In 2003, the color for the Justice of God the Holy Spirit was violet. In 2004, the color for weakness in capacity for life was yellow. In 2005, the color for Grace will be white/yellow. In 2006, the color for man is red, for sin. In 2007, the color depends on the category. A category of blessing would be a different color from a category of punishment.

What's the color for the sandwich I'm having for lunch today?
"the debugger doesn't tell me anything because this code compiles just fine" - random QA comment
"Facebook is where you tell lies to your friends. Twitter is where you tell the truth to strangers." - chriselst
"I don't drink any more... then again, I don't drink any less." - Mike Mullikins uncle

If you were having in the spirit that one communicated first through the one who had smiling vaguely, strangely knowing secondly succumbed to closing the first one in process you were not in a position thirdly to have being one in the same with it all along.

|
|
|
And just to clarify, the covenant is between one promise and another, not enacted by a third party, there is no "union" to represent man before Christ only man -> Christ -> the Father

Nothing, the colour indicates the wire has cladding, which insulates it

Hello all,
I'm thinking on getting a docking station.
I've seen two tendencies and I can see advantages in both:
- Normal docking station that connects to the laptop using a special dedicated connector placed at the bottom of the same laptop.
- As advantages I can see that:
- It seems to power the laptop after plugging it to the docking station (even I have not been able to confirm that in the manufacturer site (lenovo)).
- It is easy to plug and it doesn't occupy more space than the one the laptop takes.
- It should work flawlessly without drawbacks as no software is involved (therefore no versions affecting the performance...)
- As disadvantages I can see that:
- It is laptop model dependant, therefore after changing the laptop there is no guarantee it will keep working.
- USB docking station that connects through the USB 3.0 port.
- As advantages I can see that:
- It will keep working after changing the laptop.
- As disadvantages I can see that:
- It doesn't power the latop.
- Software issues from time to time.
- It consumes some processor power to show video at the other displays.
Both devices cost more or less 300€ which is not a small amount...
I'm using two DVI external displays.
All this said...
Which would be your choice?
Any recommendation?
Any experience that is worth sharing?
Thank you all!

Yes, I know, but I'll be travelling a lot, then having to synchronize all the programs and job done across computers can be a problem and time consuming.
PS: I have a desktop, where do you think I'll place all those devices?

I use this one: click[^]
It's work sponsored though and probably specific to Dell. It's very convenient because all the external cables like Power, HDMI, Mouse, Keyboard, NW are already plugged into it and you just plug the laptop into the station. It also lifts the laptop off the desk for some ventilation and cooling. It seems to disable the laptop's own nw interface though while plugged in, but that's not an issue for me. It also gives you extra usb ports if required.

I'd go for the normal docking stations. As you said it powers the computer and does not depend on software, it helps you keeping plugged the devices you only use while docked, it has less disconnection problems (USB are hellish when they get old and the connectors move inside), it keeps an USB free - in notebooks there are already way too few ports normally...

I'm with den2k88. Go for the docking station that is made for your laptop. That's always better and less trouble.

You're wrong. The docking station will still work even if you switch laptop - just not necessarily with the new laptop... 
Anyway, if you get a new laptop, get a new docking station as well! They're not that expensive, and you don't switch laptop THAT often. Unless you're the poorest developer I've ever met (or the most stingy), surely you can afford that!
