...setting up my shiny new dev laptop as someone at work elephanted up moving our TFS servers so they're now having to roll back the reloaction, (for the second time in as many weeks!). I now have a machine that actually boots in under 20 minutes...
Intel Core i7-2670QM @ 220 GHz (quad core baby!)

"Under 20 MINUTES" ... wow - that's fast

Under-spec'd laptop + hard disc encryption does not a happy developer make... got to the point I was having to restart the thing two or three times every day, each time wasting another twenty minutes...

My computer at work takes about 20 minutes to restart. Partly because it's slow, partly because the startup procedures it goes through. I just bought a high-spec laptop, but haven't started using it as my main work computer yet. Hopefully my company will buy me a better desktop (which could have the same specs as my laptop for a fraction of the price).

Wow. A 220 GHz quad core baby
Enjoy it. I have a 350 GHz desktop quad core baby since last year and, in the good sense, still not gotten used to it.

You have serious problem about using units of measure.
Or, get rid of that sh*t laptop.

its all relative. The laptop I'm moving from took between 15 and 25 minutes to boot, the new one is far sharper even with an encrypted hard disc The only down side is that it boots faster than I can make coffee :-P

... The rep page (click the rep number next to your username at the top of the page) is less cluttered, with all the voting stats gone.
Given that I use it to find threads that I've read/contributed to, and want to see if anything new has been added, that's a plus.

Since it seems we will be without voting for some time, I propose we use other means to vote.
Sure, we could just reply to messages we like or dislike and say as much, but that'd be too easy.
Instead, I thought I'd make it interesting, and I wanted to help handle the load issue Chris has created, so I've created this survey to kill two birds with one stone:
Code Project Survivor
Who will you vote off (see results)?

I guess Chris couldn't take the load.

How damn frustrating it is to not be able to univote you for not including me in the list of beauty-contest finalists for the coveted title of "Lounge Excommunicate."
Of course that's really just a macho-pose masking a fake threat: underneath that: I am hurt, hurt, hurt.
But, I will take this as: an opportunity to re-think whether "fame," or, "notoriety," on the Lounge is a goal I should aim for, and, whether: 'tis the "milk of human kindness," or, "sheer obnoxious depravity," better lubricates ascension into Lounge stardom.
So, I thank you for that.
best, Bill

I would have added you to the list, but your nickname would have exceeded the maximum character limit for individual answers.

Though you're obnoxious enough to deserve a place on that list you just don't have the nescessary posting frequency. This reasoning might change if the deciding metric would include things like "extremely long posts without any significant meaning".
So yes, I do agree that you, above all, deserve a place on that list.

Thanks, Manfred, I will certainly consider the issue of frequency !
It's small gifts of friendly support, like your message, that really do encourage me to keep on.

Sorry that I can't upvote your post right now.
I'll do so when the feature returns. 
While I do find most of your posts too long I do appreciate some of your views of things.
Regards,
Manfred
