It helped a little but still crashes for me. I have the same issues with VMWare latest version.

This may not work in certain jobs where they demand your credentials and want to check them by calling/emailing.
I usually listen to some classical music. It is less distracting than anything else and is pleasant (depending on what you are listening to).
True. I have been really trying to find a job that allows me to work remotely. I have an amazing setup at home, more like a sacred space but no job to use it for.

How's the immigration of Finland? I might just move there.

Some of us really do not have a choice.

Human beings do get used to and adjust in a new environment but I have seen the irritation in my colleagues and I know what's up with them. I believe it is the same thing as I have, just no private space which is crucial.
Example: Someone at work lost their close family and we assume that it's all hunky-dory after we have offered condolences. But again, some of us just do not have a choice.
Two of my biggest points when I try to find a job -
* As small a commute as possible and hopefully public transportation availability (have achieved this time and again)
* Place where I get an office, quiet room. (Have never achieved this)

OK maybe we did not decided to cooperate it but isn't that the point here.

Email me at geekamja@gmail.com. I am not a US citizen though, I just work here on a visa. However, the whole process of Permanent residency is so long and slavish.

Wow! I forgot to mention but I do this too! Thank you! My wife has called me paranoid of the highest order and now I can point to this comment and feel better that I am not the only one.
>> I've tried online backup services and was really disappointed by the throughput
Yes. I have been disappointed with all of these services.
>> Flickr as photo backup but the retrieval process is brutal.
Yes. I tried apps like Flickery etc but it is just not worth it.
>> I do use Dropbox
Nice idea. I have some files on it but I only use Dropbox (the free version) for files that I need on-the-go for anywhere-access.
>> I do use BitBucket for almost all of my source code and I've been pretty happy with it.
Same here. Bitbucket for some private random experiments and projects, Github for things that I don't care about.
>> I do use Time Machine on an old 1TB
Actually, Time Machine is the only decent backup utility I have ever found. Ever. The ease of use is just mind-blowing. I remember more than a decade ago, when my only chance was to wipe out the system and reinstall the OS or to keep a partition or separate drive for home/data. And with newer OSX, Time Machine can back up to as many drives as you want, which makes it easy for me to take actual direct backups on multiple drives.
On top of it, privacy is such a big concern. Then, it usually becomes a pain. I tried https://www.aerofs.com/ too but then left it because it was too buggy. I will have to try it again.
I have 1 (1T) hard drive at work, to have an off-site backup.
Plan to use Arq for important files to back on Glacier.
I'd change the two hard drive system to a 4 bay RAID setup using Synology etc.

I was thinking of buying Drobo but I guess I was always scared of their "secret sauce" and getting stuck with recovery if anything happened to it.
Thanks for a nice explanation.
I do not understand lobbying? Is it a euphemism about bribing a bunch of politicians? If yes, then why isn't it illegal? If no, then can someone please throw some light on it.
I was not born here in the US so I am always confused by what "powerful lobbyists" can do to deter someone like the chairman of FCC who can literally make the rules (right?).
I do not have a 4K. I use it with macbook pro 15" (retina display) and even though I do not get the same resolution, it does not look flaky at all and is decent enough for reading. Moreover, it connects with the pro using thunderbolt and thus does not require multiple connections for speakers, camera, mic and display.
