Marketers consider kleptomaniacs to be a target demographic. Who else would buy booster shoes?

I'm looking for a good level hardware site (mostly not the kind you find in a modern computer) to help me with an idea I have (searching the web left me with way to much options)...
Any suggestions?

Not old. More like 'not common'...

Stackoverflow Hardware, or an OS dev site I frequented when unemployed... I will find the link when I get to my own PC...

Hewlett Packard (Compaq) - they're still flogging gutless hardware that's behind the times
microsoft too but with them you have to get in real fast before they mothball it

Why not on ebay for some bargain. Lenovo is building very reliable hardware.
Press F1 for help or google it.

Not at all. You can look for some commercial resellers like PC refurbisher which are giving warranties.
You get, what you pay for.

i usually order from Fry's or when i can't find what i need there i go to newegg.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Probably not that exceptional...
I looked for AMD, but there are so many variants... I look a place to ask more questions...

I done that already, now I want to build a metal-and-bone prototype as close as possible...

( Hardware means so many things ) It sounds like you are asking about chips and connectors... Here, DigiKey and Mouser are the best organized ( good filter / search engine ) - least expensive. RS may be the better bet elsewhere.
Several board houses will make prototype boards reasonably. ( Note, I've only done small stupid boards and their free layout software wasn't very painful. _For small boards. )
Of course, if you want "metal and bone" I suggest McMaster Carr and the slaughterhouse.

"How ‘Developer’ Became Such a Dirty Word" [^]Quote: The developers are coming. They’ve got the politicians in their pockets and the gaudy architectural plans in their hands. They will gorge on the entire city. Real-estate: screen-estate. Houses, condos, office-towers: apps, OS's.
Given my experiences with program managers, I can see the upside of being perceived as demonic.

I mean, I'd say we are a bit like locusts when we descend on a city and gentrify it.
But any group with disposable income will do that. Developers aren't unique to that. If anything what's unique about us is the *companies* that spring into existence and create economic bubbles around them.
It's not really the developers, but due to the dynamics of say, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft, we expand and descend in swarms along with them.
If anything it's the tech companies, not the workers that cause the problems NYT is complaining about.
