I went to Crucial.com, downloaded and ran their little spec checking tool and then maxed out what I could. I was lucky in that the model I had allowed an EFI upgrade (I think?) a few years ago which enabled the 16gb ram. I use a new 15&#x27

Something to keep in mind, and applies to every job. When you book it down to the core there are two jobs, making something or selling something. So regardless if you are an engineer, a designer, an architect, sandwich making etc your work

But your looking at it from the perspective of 2018. Back then it was a bold and striking logo for a computer company. As another commenter said, perfect for the late 80's early 90's. In fact if you look at the London 2012 Olympic

Thank you for your input! You are right in that I have no deep desire to move ( beyond a desire for more development projects and higher compensation ). I enjoy my job, and the industry it is in, I enjoy my colleagues and the company. I cou

From what I read a few weeks back, the radiation is so strong that it affects the machine even with additional shielding. The robots don't last very long when the go inside and the closer to the core the quicker they burn out.
