all of them

all of the same risks of running a public tracker. i don't understand why people think private trackers are immune to risks on any level.

if you think the RIAA can't just get into a private tracker, reflect on what kind of special hurdles you had to go through to get into private trackers. did you have to sign an affidavit affirming that you're not working for any copyright enforcers? did you have to provide an ID or something? did you have to do anything other than prove that you know about audio encoding by taking some test?

do you think someone working for the RIAA couldn't study up to pass a test about audio encoding best practices?

You followed a guide. Congrats.

I hope not because it sounds amazing.

I nowadays actually reduce all my video games settings to get a smooth 60FPS with vertical sync so that I can read moving text easier and without eye strain. Back in the days I always accepted 40 - unlimited frames, but one day I noticed I couldn't read the moving names of other players.

I hope Gsync/FREEsync does a good job at helping to prevent tearing.

It's pretty nice, just overpriced. It's about a $200 price tag over non gsync monitors, should've been closer to $100. I wish there was a version of adaptive sync that worked with both nvidia and amd, both atm make you feel locked into a certain market.

For the casual gamer yes. Most people that buy gsync monitors don't know how to use them.

What is it? I don't recognize that logo.

Old Gateway desktop with a Pentium 4 and 4gb of RAM. I don't remember what video card is in there, but it ran rollercoaster tycoon like a champion

Didn't know the Pentium 4 could support that much.

>getting cucked into using free software
oh, wait...

but seriously, i prefer vim as well.

good thread

i'm a vimfag and even i can't get behind this. use whatever you fucking want. just don't be one of those bitchy obnoxious faggots who forces everyone to stop and accommodate your choice. if you can't just quietly use your preferred choice (tabs vs spaces, 2 vs 4 vs 9 spaces, etc...) then you give up the right to a choice. otherwise, i don't care at all.

that's from foxit reader btw.

it's has nice features, but runs like a piece of shit. i remember when it was good (at least on windows it was good)

>In need of a dank PDF reader which can display scans, and mathematical formulas.
w... what? your PDF reader wouldn't have any effect on that. the PDF is going to render the same way in any viewer.

for os x, try Skim. it's pretty lightweight and well-liked by most people i've talked to who have gone past preview and/or adobe reader/acrobat.

>>57861994

foxit still dank for me

Im currently working on consuming myself in self-pity.

The job hunt is driving me ever closer to despair. I haven't started crying about it yet, but once it gets to that point I'm probably going to have a mental breakdown like the one I had in college that left me miserable, suicidal, and caustic to anyone who happened to be near me

Basically search engine partnerships

>>57861734
I think OP could have used a search engine partnership too.

Mozilla has a deal with Yahoo/Verizon to make it the default search engine in Firefox. That's where nearly all their money comes from. Before Yahoo they were Google's sugarbaby for a decade.

polyfuse in powersupply perhaps. is your computer plugged into a surge protector?

>>57861508
This belongs in /sqt/ but I've had a similar issue. Reseat the RAM. It may be faulty, but chances are it's just a connection problem.

When your computer shuts off turn the power off at the supply but leave it plugged in. Hold the power button for 5 seconds to discharge. Turn on at the supply and power on. It should work again without needing to wait half an hour.

If the RAM reseating doesn't work try reseating the CPU.

>>57861614
It is plugged into a power strip with a fuse. The fuse is still good, but I have tried plugging it straight into the wall. Made no difference.

Anything other than <100mhz 486's require thermal paste.

Bring it back to them, tell them to apply some fucking thermal paste before the heat strain kills the cpu

2/10 bait

>>57861515
Dead serious.

I haven't done anything indepth with computers before. The most physical work I've done is replace a graphics card or a RAM chip every few years.

From what I've found, he ripped me off something fierce ($1200 for an msi 970 motherboard, AMD FX 8370 processor and card reader). Serves me right for being retarded and going to a local shop, but my old mobo died and I needed a new system on the day or faced missing a huge job opportunity.
