Damn, you found us out.
The real trick of being a senior anything, let alone engineer, isn't being a genius or even being brilliant, it's having the experience to know what not to do.

Well, that and having a steady supply of underlings to blame.

I certainly hypothesize that you may be much more smart than I am; but, I'm afraid that, in itself, does not make you special, because I consider trying to operate as if that hypothesis is true for everyone to be one of the few sure ways I can improve whatever smidgen of intelligence I might have.
Yet, I also think many people are smart enough to masquerade as much smarter than they actually are (fooling themselves, as well as others); I think the instant-access to almost all information on the Internet is a particularly valuable tool for maintaining a pretense of intelligence, simulating being informed. Sure works for me
But, clearly, you are not one who masquerades as any kind of intelligence
cheers, Bill

I am a genius actually.
Which is nice.

But, is that as nice for us as it is for you ?

Just bought one of these[^]. About to install it in my desktop PC and reinstall the OS.
I will post again in about an hour or so (hopefully) and let you know how it goes...

Nice. I have 3 128GB SSD's on my system (don't ask how that happened.) Once you discover the speed of SSD (Windows is up and running in about 2 seconds once the OS boot process starts) you will never go back to spinny, mechanical drives!

Cool! I have one of these[^] in my laptop, alongside a 256GB 2.5" SSD.
Absolutely awesome.

Nice. I just got a pair of the exact same a few months ago ($230 Canadian, so roughly the same price given the currency exchange rate).
I'm using them to host the development VMs I use all the time--it sure is nice to reboot and be back at the login prompt in under 10 seconds, rather than minutes (some of these VMs are rather heavy and preload a lot of crap)

It's like going from B&W to color.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0
There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Have one of those on my Linux lappy.... definitely fast boot time.

Peanuts. I just finished putting together a Gigabyte Brix Pro with a mSATA 512 GB SSD and a 1 TB SATA SSD data drive - then mounted the whole thing on the back of my monitor. Works so well I am thinking of making another one....

I'm thinking about getting one, but am not sure I have install discs for all the junk on my computer. I might just dual boot for a while until I'm sure or just wait until Windows 10.
I need a new, better ventilated, case too, so....

Windows 8.1 and 10 (64 bit) require more CPU features than Windows 8 and below. See here[^] to get the Windows Upgrade Assistant. Also use Sysinternal's coreinfo to see if your processor has the capabilities necessary...
It turns out that I need a different processor to do my upgrade since I also wanted to upgrade to 64 bit Windows 8.1.
Now, I've got an excuse...

CPU-Wise, I am two steps back from bleeding edge (Ivy Bridge i7 vs. Haswell and Broadwell.) I'm tempted to splurge and build a brand new "well" system this summer as in Broadwell and Maxwell. Crucial needs to rename their drive Speedwell and I'm sold!
