The post whore thread.

Aaaaannnnddddd VirtualBox refuses to see my brand freakin new PC as VT capable even though it passes the Intel tests.

To top it off, a crucial IBM program I use for work refuses to run since it was updated on my laptop and one of my client VPN's is failing thanks to IE.

Fuck me.

Final nail in the coffin, IT wants to send me a new laptop as part of some update program I got nominated for. An i7 with 32GB ram and two 1TB drives better freakin run my VM without being slow as my dead grandma. Guess I will be migrating next week (easy actually with the VM.)

Then fix the brakes already dummy!

ROFL.

I just put the first new pads on the front at 49K miles.

Had about 2K left in them.

49K, That's it ? Being in dougco , all them texting, cell phone chatting, house mouse's, pulling in front of you I could see it. Then again that about covers most of CO.

That's mostly all heavy towing and no jake. Then again, most of it is OTR.

Perhaps copy the partition(s) to a backup HD before you do that again.

Yea yea yea, there's always 1 person who knows more than you do. But, I never claimed to be a computer guy, I'm a hardware guy. At least I knew enough to backup my important files. That counts for something, right?

Sounds pretty dang close to my new workstation, but I have a feeling yours might be an IBM...

I have tried bogging down my machine with Solidworks, simulations and 500+ part models in real graphics mode and so far, it keeps on churning!

IT is backpedaling on supplying a docking station now. WTF? This laptop has only MINI DisplayPort for external digital. My external monitor is only HDMI and I already bought a DisplayPort-HDMI active converter for my current laptop out of pocket.

I might have a mini displayport to HDMI you can have... Let me check.

[HoneyBadger]

Awwww crap. The cable I was thinking of is mini DP to DVI. Sorry bro

Thanks, but that's not the point. I can get a mini adapter to regular cheap enough to add to my current DisplayPort-HDMI active cable. I don't want to have to use the adapter, I want to leave the LCD plugged into the docking station. The dock station has HDMI, etc. and is really what I need - to replace the GD port replicator I have now.

I'll just expense it under the wire in a few weeks. Sometimes their stupid policies just create graft and inefficiencies. Typical red tape BS. They would rather you F up a port on the laptop from repeated insertions of multiple devices (LAN, USB Keyboard, DisplayPort, etc.) or use a wonkey adapter than use a docking station. Stupid execs.
