    Thinking about upgrading my Lenovo U330

    Quick OT: I do agree with Cypher. Now, 1366x768 is an all too common screen res that I'm not happy with on anything bigger than 13". Even my U350, 13.3" @ 1366x768 didn't have great pixel density. I have NO idea how Apple's 13" MBPs are still at 1280x800 when the MBA is at 1440x900. I love...

    x220 or T420s

    We had two loaners from Lenovo, a X220 and a T420s. The experiment was to give to our CEO and then he'd select which he liked the best, as he has an average user. We went with the T420s, as did he. Now we have a few T420s' deployed, some with SSDs and some with HDs but I do not regret choosing...

    Thinking about upgrading my Lenovo U330

    I sold my U350 while I had the chance. "Ultrabooks" will soon replace U3x0-like laptops.

    Anyone know anything about the new Thinkpad Tablet?

    We have two WiFi 32GB models on order that should be shipping around 9/12. However, any information you can find on the 'net is exactly what you want. There are no more secrets, etc.

    Nagios is pretty good, we use it at work for a network of about 300 +/- servers and 400 +/- workstations.

    America's mid-Atlantic to Maine I-95 corridor on Hurricane alert

    Not really...one example is Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn. Some guy was giving an interview up to his knees in water on the street. Surges and flooding will be the biggest issue here, then they'll take care of the power issue, which has hit tens of thousands of people. Just because the winds...

    America's mid-Atlantic to Maine I-95 corridor on Hurricane alert

    White Plains, NY reporting in... We saw about an hour of prolonged heavy rains and winds then it died down to almost nothing, just a small breeze. Now the wind is picking up and the gusts are stronger than before. Supposedly the "eye" is going to be in my area sometime around sunrise...6-9am...

    Did any of you shed a tear over 9/11?

    I agree with that statement for sure. I'm sure a lot of people in my area would also agree. I didn't shed a tear, but I definitely was concerned.

    New York to Get Pummeled by Huge Hurricane. Do You Feel Bad for Them?

    I rest my case. There's just too many narrow minded idiots in this thread. They're like teenagers to their parents--they have an answer for everything. If ya hate us, ya hate us. Fine. However, we're about to deal with the first hurricane to directly hit NYC since 1821. You think we're prepared...

    New York to Get Pummeled by Huge Hurricane. Do You Feel Bad for Them?

    I live about 5 miles outside of NYC and I have family in NYC, as well as friends and coworkers. My father in law is in Brooklyn as we type. So again, go fuck yourself.

    Not only that but...a pussy? Dwell, you're a pussy hiding behind your keyboard and monitor. Bloomberg is doing good by his people and is making sure they are safe, rather than sorry. Go fuck yourself.

    New York to Get Pummeled by Huge Hurricane. Do You Feel Bad for Them?

    The guy on the news just said it...the last hurricane to DIRECTLY hit NYC was in 1821. Yes, I believe everything I hear.
