Go forth and estimate.

Edit: Extra points if you figure out how to put stale food towards the budget for your next upgrade. Information such as this would be of great value.

Any thoughts?

• The first sentence has obviously-missing words and punctuation, with multiple layers of ambiguity in the meaning of that single sentence.
• The second sentence is also missing at least a preposition and a verb, but these mistakes were trivial by the misuse of the word 'once', followed by a surprise (misleading) comma and then no clause to satisfy your phrase starting with 'once'
• The third sentence might explain the typo in the thread title and difficult first two sentences but we know you can do better, so I'd suggest you just stop PUI or at least hit up the back porch for those threads where we can jovially poke fun at you in something closer to real-time, buddy

Interesting... is there much in the way of jobs for computer systems (embedded systems) engineers in overseas mining?

Well I do have O- blood, so how much would I get? I haven't thought of this.

Not too sure, I was with a contractor myself, who doesn't really do IT stuff.

@whm1974 - My thoughts (since you asked for them) are that if you spent even half as much time studying and asking questions about software development as you do thinking about and posting random useless threads like this, you'd be a good part of the way to your goal of being a developer by now.

So is mine, but current stuff is still too close to the Haswell generation to interest me in upgrading.
