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)

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!

Is it just me, or is the TFS on line UI really complicated and not at all user-friendly?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

You have to ask?
I wonder if the designers pass things by normal people. If said people can figure it out quickly the designers scream in anguish and run back to their offices.

Hi All,
Just got off the phone with a scammer with an Indian accent (not being racial) call Dave(?) from Wimdows Security of Microsoft! I was a bit bored and played along got me to open the event viewer and looked in horror at all exclamation marks and red crosses. I then was a little surprised when read the script and asked me to open Google Chrome (!) as because this was a free call he could not give me the code to allow me to use Internet Explorer (?).
Sadly at this point my mobile rang me with details of a contract role so had to ring off, was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience...

I've been getting this calls regularly for a while. I always scream at them and tell them they are scammers and that they should get real job. I then block the number.

You should bait them instead... You could say "That's funny, because I don't have a computer", then listen to them stammer before ending the call (a work colleague's trick).
But it is also fun to say "Oh dear... I have 10 computers. Can you tell me which one has the problems?". Then proceed to waste their time - "you mean this Amiga 500? What about this Tandy 1000? What about this Casio FX-83 (calculator)?"

That could be fun.

I can only wish they would call me regularly. Kinda makes me sad that they don't. I love toying with those people. I will drag them on for hours.

You know there are chat lines for lonely people like you?

I understand they charge you per minute...

Then you've learned something today. Be happy about that.
