@Gannu, yup I'm aware of that. Fortunately, I don't plan on upgrading it in the future. I might settle for 16G of RAM since the extra $ will be covered by the education discount. But I am a bit nervous about getting such an expensive laptop which isn't serviceable. Goes without saying that I...

Just back after looking at Sony laptops. The S15A is very light for a 15 incher, but build quality is poor. The plastics feel cheap and the trackpad isn't very responsive. The display is really gorgeous though, but the display panel is so fragile, it will be very easy to crack it. Staying away...

That is good news! Let me wait a bit longer in that case. I'm kind of surprised that the choices are really limited once you ask for a good screen. Even top of the line models from most manufacturers still have very low quality/ low res screens. I haven't found any other manufacturer that...

@randomuser111 Thanks for those links! I think I got the S15 confused with some other model, cause I did check out a few models last week and I remember seeing an series S 15" which was very bulky. But the screen was gorgeous though! Will make a trip to the shops this weekend for a thorough...

@randomuser111, I live in Singapore. I didn't know about the new series S models. Currently there are promotions for almost all Sony laptops, but they are the older SB CPUs. I guess they are trying to clear out the inventory before the newer models arrive. And unfortunately, the prices of Sony...

After having waited for months for the updated MacBook, I've come out slightly disappointed. I was so sure that Apple would significantly upgrade the 13" pros, that I wasn't even considering other possibilities. But now it is time. So here is what I'm looking for: Usage: General. I will only...

Since its an assignment, I strongly suggest you to use that opportunity to learn. I don't see any point if someone who is familiar just hands over the code to you. Go through the basic, and *try* to program. For specific queries, I'm sure we will be able to help you out.

Like the name suggests, its suited to handling really huge datasets and which aren't strictly structured. Your colleague is partially right, but I don't agree with the "pro business". As a general rule in computing, there is no single solution to all type of problems. That is why many companies...

If your project is centered around GSM and messaging, I'd recommend looking at http://www.asterisk.org/ and writing scripts for the remaining functionality. You can probably look at Python/MySQL for other functionality. Also as others have pointed out, it doesn't make sense to mix and match you...

1) Start with a simple, small sized project. Understanding code that you didn't right is difficult and takes time. 2) Read up on documentation, bug reports, mailing lists, etc 3) Easiest is to contribute to documentation once you understand the software 4) Try to replicate bugs, and to...

Now THAT is a show off! Congrats and have fun

That is a great price indeed! When I went looking for an acoustic guitar in Singapore, the prices of a few good ones were almost 1.5 times the price in India. Ended up buying a very old used one. Anyway, congratulations and have fun!

The world won't end, but there will be lot of destruction and death due to natural calamities. The economic depression will get worse. Unfortunately I don't see anything to look forward to in 2012

Just a quick question. I'm interested in the AD300/AD500. But I intend to use it when on the move. Would these work without an amp? I will be using them with an iPod or a mobile phone. Will it do justice to these headphones? Also are these very huge or can it be worn when outside as well? Thanks!

2011 has been a good year for me :) Ended up striking out a lot of stuff on my wish list: 1) Yamaha F310 acoustic guitar 2) iPad 2 3G 16GB 3) Samsung Series 5 40" LED TV 4) PS3 + Two games 5) Nikon D3100 + kit lens 6) A nice Seiko watch 7) Some minor upgrades to my PC (RAM+el cheapo...

Now this just getting stupid! I don't know who is a bigger idiot - Apple or the people who approve such patents. Strictly from a commercial perspective, Apple is doing what all other companies are doing these days - racking up patents to defend themselves in the future if needed. The difference...

This is my first Michael Lewis book. And thanks for suggesting the others. Will get them once I'm done with this :-)

Dear December 12th, happy Rajnikanth day!

Reading "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game". Although I know nothing about baseball, the book is still fascinating!

SG domains are generally expensive. And I think you need to have a registered address in Singapore to book a .sg domain. The cheapest registrars I a while back are : Domain Names, Domain Name Registration | HostSG Instra Corporation - Global Domain Name Registration Services
