I can only confirm that it seems to be working very smoothly. One of the best experiences ever for viewing video content.

Likewise

I'm connected via cable modem -> WiFi -> ThinkPad (Intel wireless chip)

How about the Dell Precision M24?

I've heard good things about Dell's Precision line.

-Has a high DPI screen

-Has a discrete GPU

-Multiple docks to pick from

-Starting weight is 2.16kg (4.77 lbs.)

It costs ~2K USD.

I'm using 32-bit because I have enough crashes and problems already (reliability score of 5.74 under Vista) and I don't need more.

I like them if they're perfectly straight and look metal-ly, like the Intel ones. The Windows Vista Basic sticker looks awful.

Get ProcessExplorer. Then, double-click on the explorer.exe process and go to the Threads tab to see what's using the CPU. You can double-click on the entries in the tab to see the call stack for each thread.

I've used PMD (for Java) and FxCop (for .NET) for many years. In general, they are a good way to get a good smell of your code and identify places to look at closely. They'll also quite good as a sort of spell checker (FxCop even bundles a bona fide spell checker) for code.

Both packages let you define new rules.

Overall, they are great for finding problems that are 1 level up from syntax errors.

The third track is really soft. Is it a bug with the media player on his website?

I seem to end up near Malta's Green Party. I'm from California.

Does it die with a horrible BSOD when going to Standby/Hibernate, resuming from Standby/Hibernate, or both? If it doesn't BSOD, that will be enough to make me upgrade to Windows 7.

(says the person who has reinstalled Virtual PC 3 times already)

I would change "Dim" to just about anything else, really. I also wish the logical operators were short-circuited by default.

I can't think of any other problems in VB .NET...
