I thought there was a ban on importing off-world weapons, especially Klingon blades.

While I sympathise with your Dad and the research is for a good cause, touting it in the Lounge is mildly inappropriate so some pillock has dumped on it, anonymously.
Most of us have both tragedies in our lives and good causes we support, the Lounge would become overwhelmed if we all started promoting our pet charity/foundation/good cause.

None. It's a hardware problem.

May be it's got to do with a wrong firmware version there. Get it re-flashed brother. May be you didn't realize we started using IoT loos already.

Since for many CPers, it is now Wednesday, happy Canada Day!
Let the maple bacon be served!

I personally prefer pancakes, but in either case - let the maple syrup pour!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

This time last year I was enjoying Canada Day in beautiful BC. Best wishes to all Canadians (CPers or not).

Saw Bob and realized I had not changed my calendar which lets me know the holidays. Yep, Canada Day so noted. They even indicate that the country that celebrates is Canada, imagine that!

This one right here[^]
A bit pricey, but looks good.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

For that price... it better be good!
The Core i7 processor is really great, the memory is probably more than enough, and the SSD is a nice to have but you can live without (although once you've had one, you'll wonder why you lived without it for so long).

It sure looks good! Plenty of RAM, Hard Drive space, and a good processor.

a big YES. Have last years' model - highly recommended.

Good then.
Although...
My dad's old Asus just stopped working and won't power on now. Just like my old Sony...

Does her weight equal that of a duck?

I have the RealSense version of that laptop, complete with 1TB hard drive. I can definitively state that it's a great development laptop. Visual Studio is positively zippy and builds are rapid.

If I would make one tweek, I'd double the size of the SSD and toss the spinner. Further, look into the specs to see if you have a spare mSATA interface. On my Dell Precision, I had one spare (was for the WAN wireless adapter). I dropped a Samsung 840 EVO Series 500GB mSATA3 Solid State Drive into it to match my main SSD.
The RAM is a good investment, since more and more dev is being done in virtual machines.
You'll be happy.

If you're not doing gaming/3d development, the GTX 980m is an expensive battery eater. Otherwise looks solid.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Looks good. MIne is a MSI G70 Stealth with 500GB primary SSD and 1 TB SSD secondary drive. and 16GB of RAM. Sucks battery bigtime, but I have 4 VMs running without problem.

I bought a Dell Laptop (Dell XPS 17) a couple of years ago, not quite as much memory or drive space. But it makes a phenomenal dev system. On the other hand, the battery life isn't great, and it is a bit of a pig to lug around. And finding a good carry case for it is also a bit of a challenge with that screen size.
All in all, a good choice I thought.
