.sa = bad driver!
Is this RAM compatible with my current one? I'm running the OCZs at 1600 mhz.
Yes.

Kind-of want a Kindle Fire 8.9 HD to replace my TouchPad..... but not sure if it's worth it over the Nexus 7.
Question for you savy laptop folks. I need a laptop for a work project. Dedicated, won't move a lot. It will have to run VMWare and other project specific software in XP. Must have a serial port or a docking station with a serial port. I'd rather not use a USB-to-serial if I can. What would be a good laptop for this task? Checkbook is open but I am trying to keep it under $1k.
A 15 inch ThinkPad or Latitude would serve you well. Might have driver issues if you want XP but likely not...Lenovo and Dell know that quite an number of business users will run XP.
The docking stations on both systems should have a serial port. The last Dell to have a serial port was the D830
Damn. I have nearly a year left on my contract, and I just found out I'm getting a work iPhone Monday. Damnit. I had no problem signing up for a "special" deal from Amazon where my $200 phone was free and the catch was a $250-higher cancellation fee. I had no problem because I had my last phone for 4.5 years, so I had no idea I was going to get promoted twice in the mean time, and now get a company phone.
Do I keep the personal phone? It seems silly to pay $75/month for a phone I won't use much as a phone. I know I'm going to be disapointed by the iPhone if for no other reason than the tiny screen.
I wish I would have known ahead of time so I could have asked them to just pay for my phone for the remaining year.

Plus, after 3.5 months, you've already paid the early termination fee just in service cost.
It seems silly to pay $75/month for a phone full stop
You might still be able to set it up. What I did with my current company is add the e-mail account to my iPhone and set up a Google Voice number to forward calls to both private and company cell and then put that number into my Outlook details and signature. Only thing I had to do to the phone is add an unlock password, then again your IT might be much less relaxed than mine.Welcome to 'merica. Sorry...if I was confusing, I meant $75/mo for the phone's PLAN (lowest amount of minutes I could get with 2gb/mo data, no texting plan). Sometimes, conversationally in the US, the phone's plan and the phone itself are spoken about as a complete unit, as many people renew their contracts to get a new free-subsidized phone, or similarly will upgrade their phone and extend their contracts.
I know keeping two phones it retarded, but it's simply a better phone, and IT won't let me use it. I mean, I could use our webmail system, but that's not really practical.

Welcome to US cell plans... On top of it all unlike many other places we have to pay extra for shared data AND if you want to tether through your phone...There was no confusion, I had exactly that in mind. You pay for the plan and the phone in one sum every month, you can get the same scheme here. I was just saying that $75 for some plan and a $200 phone seems insanely high to me. It seems even higher now that I know you only have low minutes, moderate data and no texts included.
For $75/60? you could get a free iPhoney 4S 16GB (629?/$800 over here), unlimited texts, unlimited calls to landlines and within your mobile network (T-Mobile, not even an el cheapo provider!), 1GB data at 21mbps, unlimited at 64kbps, unlimited wifi from 11000 hotspots in Germany and 50000 hotspots worldwide, and 120 minutes to other mobile networks.
I'm certain there are better deals out there, usually T-Mobile is the most expensive.
