This doesn't make your machine boot faster. What it allows you to do is set the number of processors and the amount of RAM the machine is allowed to see/use.

The best managers I've had were not developers, and were by and large non-technical.

I truly wish I could kick this more than once :) A very spot-on article.

kbeeveer46, not that I've ever heard of. If you don't want to install a second video card, you can get a USB to VGA adapter. Thats how I feed my third monitor at work. You only get in the neighborhood of 5-8 frames / second on it, but it works sufficiently for email or documentation.

Sewell has a USB to DVI for $150 (http://sewelldirect.com/USB-to-DVI-External-Video-Card-High-Resolution.asp). The USB to VGA I have ran $100, and I think we ordered it off Amazon.

HTH

When we first got the 30's in at the office, we (the devs) were all thinking maybe they were just a bit to big. I seriously considered giving one of my 19's away. But my experience turned out to be a lot like when I got dual monitors back in the late 90's... You very quickly adjust to the amount of space you now have, and then you wonder how you ever got along without all that space before.

The ONLY downside of having the 30 inch (other than the crappy ATI drives for my T60P) is because I have a laptop, with a much smaller screen (both physically, and pixel wise), and visual studio has no profile support (that I've found); I can't customize how I'd like to be able to given the amount of real-estate I have at work.

i.e. I'd like to keep the toolbox and server explorer open permanently when I'm at the office, and have my laptop docked, but when I'm undocked, I'd like to have that stuff closed, and have it all happen automagically.

Who knows, I may decided to write a macro to make that all happen...

I've got three at work, and I love it! A Dell 30 inch in the center, flagged by two 19 inch monitors. I keep email up on the left monitor, my IDE in the middle (30 inch) monitor, and instant messenger, documentation on the right monitor!

This post breaks the #1 rule of cryptography... NEVER roll your own!

Plus this article doesn't really talk about or describe this home-grown crypto algorithm, only talks minimally how to use it...

This link is blog spam, follow the real link that Gavin posted

Amen...

I remember reading a post by Miguel a while back stating they were going to support WPF. He was pretty hesitant for a while, but he got on board a month or so ago.

My cable modem is back up now so the article is back online. I'm really sorry for that guys

I'm sorry about that guys, there are outages all over the city right now for the cable modem network :( Hopefully it will be back up in a couple of hours.
