    Yes, no more than 2 cups before 8.10. I think I drank 22 cups of coffee yesterday. (But I'm old.)

    I must admit that I use the same logic... even if I know it's stupid in the long run. :(

    Soldering problem

    What I meant was that I have experienced similar symptoms with shaking hands (+irregular heartbeats and migraine) when I was in a couple of tight projects. But it got better when they were over.

    They call it "Ripsaw", it would be great when going ice fishing, amongst other things.

    Highland Park 18 is one of my favourite reasonably priced whiskies (good YPK as we say in Sweden). The Glenmorangie 12 wasn't a "must try" by th wsy, but not too bad either.

    I can imagine that Glenmorangie 18 is very, very good,. I got a bottle of Glenmorangie 12 "the sherry cask finish" as a birthday gift, I'll try that one tonight. I mostly buy the standard bottlings, so it will be interesting to try something new.

    50% has a bit of a bite to it, but the Organic is very nice and smooth overall. Some whiskies are quite harsh even if they're bottleded at 40-43%, but not this one.

    Phone Dying

    What's wrong with the Nexus 6? It's great (well) for RDP, reading the shopping list etc. And it's my work phone, so the camera isn't very important. I wouldn't mind a Moto G or Moto X either for that matter even if there are better phones, but the simple interface + turbo charging is very...

    You should also be able to stream audio to a receiver/smart TV or whatever over the network.

    Android phones: Tips, tricks?

    I hate to say it, but a co worker got a Z3 and it seems to be pretty good (smooth ui, good camera and water resistant) even if it's preloaded with millions of apps that you don't want. Personally I was looking really hard at the Moto X, but then the Nexus 6 came along.

    Android phones: Tips, tricks?

    Probably yes, but I think an Xperia Z3 might surpass it in that aspect. It's still quite large and completely flat on both sides.

    What were you worst computer related mistakes made?

    I've had a few oops moments. Once I formatted the wrong disk - my main storage drive. But I could recover most files. Another time I truncated a database table by mistake. The good news was that I had the table opened in another tab in the server manager, and the table only contained ~40 rows...

    It might be difficult for us to understand where there's ice on the lakes for 8 month/year, but I think it's pretty common to have no or almost no heating.

    Your first computer?

    The first school computer we had was Compis (COMPuterInSchool, kompis=friend in swedish). Designed in Sweden, used the CP/M OS, you did the programming in the Comal language, a mix between Basic and Pascal. All the computers in the classroom were connected to a central HDD with (I think) 20 MB...

    You don't need to show me benchmarks, I trust you. I can tell you about a couple of minuses with the T440s so far. It doesn't have NFC and it looks like won't be available in a while (at least not in Sweden). And the screen has some bleeding in the bottom. It's not important in my applications...

    But do you really notice dual channel operation? But the G1 looks like a nice machine. I think it's mostly a matter of taste if you choose it or the T440s.
