As a mod, is this the level of discourse you encourage? You've not only made a bald-faced assumption about my knowledge of and experience with futures markets, but you've once again asserted, an as of yet, unsupported opinion. I'm happy to have a discussion, but that's apparently unreciprocated.

Threads have their own stack, but (usually) share process heap. System memory is not divided across the number of execution threads (again, usually - I've worked on frameworks that operated otherwise). Processes however, that's another tale

A 10% tariff does not linearly equate to a 10% increase in materials cost. What happens is that it creates scarcity in supply as big consumers hedge by buying up future supply in bulk. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/guid/7AED185B-FB83-4BD0-84E9-B27ABC4019A7 This...

http://www.caselabs-store.com/ Dropped in to configure a case for a Threadripper 2 build and caught this. Shame, I really liked how versatile their products were.

I'll be getting a Xeon E5 2697 v2 for development anyway but would definitely consider a 12-core unlocked, overclockable Ivy-E version at the same price. I have to imagine that market is slim though.

I picked up an Ergotron MX arm for my 27" NEC panel. It has all the necessary hardware to work with 30" monitors as well.

Another vote for the HP Elitebook line. Take a look at the 8740w - sounds like a perfect fit, and consider getting the dreamcolor display (it's worth it).

Seconding the 8540w. I've one on order right now and it has the absolute best LCD ever put into a laptop thus far (aside from the larger screen in the 8740w).

My PA271W just arrived this afternoon, and while it's beautiful and bright and fantastically uniform (though I haven't calibrated it yet - I ordered the SpectraView model, but my unit arrived without the calibration kit :( working at resolving this right now), the anti-glare coating is starting...

B&W 805S JL Audio Fathom F113 Sennheiser HD800s w/ Headroom Desktop Portable amp bdr529, awesome headphones :)

Did you mention that it has built in WiMAX support? Cause it does. And it can turn into an access point for up to 8 devices. And it can record video at 720p, and has HDMI out. Right there with you, this will be my next phone for sure.

Keep in mind that blu-ray burners are still in the $150-200 price range for something that will fit in a desktop. A dual-layer burner that'll fit in the minuscule form factor of the Z series? Yea, it's steep, but I'm not surprised that they're charging a premium for it.

Slower than usual tonight, but hey, I pay nothing for it.

I'm currently running windows 7 on an 80gb SSD (intel g2) and yes, there is absolutely a noticeable difference in speed & startup times going from a fast SATA to a SSD drive. As for whether 32gb will be enough, well, I've only a moderate number of applications installed and I'm already at 21gb...
