Re: Laptop Recommendation

1) i7 is a waste for laptops IMO 2) What games? As long as they're not overly taxing, you can play a decent amount of games on Intel HD4000 IGP. See here for GPU comparisons . Not to mention Haswell GT3 coming this fall is benchmarked to perform like a GT440. (can't find the link) He appreciates be...

Re: Laptop Recommendation

Lenovo Thinkpads are great. You're probably looking at a T530 or W530, though they'll have workstation graphics cards (Quadro blah blah blah), not the consumer GTxxx. I really, really like mine. After 2 years, it's solid, dependable, and incredibly durable. RAM and HDD upgrades were a piece of cake...

Re: Space News

Number 1 is that NASA is now saying Voyager 1 has passed the heliopause (as currently understood). They're not willing to say it's in true interstellar space, but it's far enough out that the Sun has no direct influence... This would make Voyager 1 the first man-made artifact to depart the solar sy...

Also, for the record, your cause is far more just than some of the ones ahead of you- Travelling to see a Formula One race somewhere in the world verses providing water to an entire village?

I workout 6-7 times a week. I've been doing some form of routine since I was 10, so it doesn't really feel like work anymore. That said, school makes it tough in the winter. I do mid-distance running and Biathlon in the winter. I ran a local 10km a few months ago in 40:17, aka 17sec short of my goal...

Re: Email Harassment

Yeah, your best bet is to look at the full headers of the e-mails. If they were sent from a webmail account you won't be able to tell much, but if they came from an e-mail client running on a local PC you should be able to get an IP address. If you suspect it is someone you've corresponded with in ...

Re: Email Harassment

I don't think you'll find a piece of general software to do this. You'll need the original emails and look at the headers on them (which can be forged to some degree). You can then trace back to which ISP they were sent from, then subpoena that ISP for records of who had that IP at that time and th...
