I'd tell the owner to get a job, but i think it would be folly since his parents have been doing that for years already.
What cheapo keyboard do you faggots use?
I've been using this Dell for years and it finally died. It is no longer in production and I don't want to deal with a 3rd party. I hate new keyboards because of how 'low' the keys are. Recommendation?
Logitech K120, it just werks
>>60081311
I bought that for my dad and I hate it. It feels cramped compared to the board I'm used to with weird wide keys and not enough tactile response when you hit a key.

Newfag on this board and I'm trying to install two memory sticks into my fucked up shit computer. The computers motherboard should be able to handle the memory sticks but the notches on the slots are too low to accomodate the memory sticks.
Will unironically most likely an hero if I have to return these.

So make them higher then.

Yeah, I'm not a retard, next you'll have me remove Sys32 or microwave my harddrive.
Post a picture you fucking troglodyte.
Long story short I want to learn a programming language so that I can start making money very soon.
What is the fastest or easiest programming language to learn to start making money or get a job with no experience?
I'm 28 and have been a general fuckup and I want to turn my life around. Once I make money programming I'm willing to learn more languages to add to my arsenal to stay on top of my game.
Java. Make Android apps and start raking in the money from normies.
>>60081038
This, fuck normies you can use them all you want.

Hello gee. I have a wireless router under my desk, by which I sit every single day. I heard that wi-fi signals are bad for your sperm; if that's the case, then spending the majority of my life next to a router could harm my fertility, could it not? Then again, my balls keep producing more sperm, so staying away from wi-fi for a while should end with me having a fresh and healthy batch of sperm.
So what do you say? Is it harmful to be sitting by a router 24/7?
It's probably not.
You could also move the router, since electromagnetism follows an inverse square law. Doubling the distance will reduce the effect by a factor of four. Plus it will probably improve your WiFi connectivity; why the hell would you put a radio source underneath furniture?
>>60080928
Yup, you're boned. Just look at this article
http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/10-shocking-facts-health-dangers-wifi/
It's clear that you're going to die and produce no children because of wireless signals unless you shield yourself with tin foil at all times.

I don't have that much of a space requirement for my chinese cartoons yet.
Because I only hoard old shit like BBS scene dumps and that's not a lot of data in this day and age. PC is by far the largest data pile and it makes me wonder how they managed to archive that back in the days.
I do eventually want to hoard other scene releases though. Any ideas and tips on what to archive?

Aren't these examples similar to the optimizations you would develop--or limitations you would encounter--in a game engine?
Considering these optimizations/limitations are extremely similar to those we would encounter in our current technology AND observed to exist in whatever computational mechanism invokes our universe, how close is our technology to the ability to simulate a universe which exists within it?
There's a lot of curious stuff about our universe which makes for suspicions about it being a simulation.
To your final question, it depends what you mean by "a universe." We could make a pretty solid simulation of a universe with two point particles having only a single property of force (e.g., an attractive square-law thing resembling gravity) and limited laws of physics which use such complex constants as "1" and "also 1." I think that you need to set the bar on how close to our own universe this simulation should be.

>Its single-core score of 4,537 is 30% better than what the iPhone 7 was able to achieve. What about the Android competition, you ask? Well, the closest any of those has come is Samsung's Galaxy S8 with 1,945 (that's not a typo).
>The iPhone 8's multi-core score is 8,975, which is 58% better than its predecessor's. The Android device that's scored the best here so far is the Galaxy S8+ with 6,338.
