Because the font rendering on Windows is garbage and nothing can change that.

By the by, Fira mono looks like shit on Ubuntu because it's weirdly tall. The line spacing is mental. For some reason it isn't on Windows and Mac. Maybe I'm missing something.

These are all like $100. What about the Nook HD? I found one on Craigslist for $35.

Lubuntu if you want a lightweight DE. Or any recent distro (Fedora, Manjaro) with i3/awesome

Solus fags incoming by the way, good luck OP.

Can anyone recommend a good switch that will allow me to easily manage my home VLANs remotely while I am traveling?

That license plate must be an abbreviation for something else. They don't have computers in west virginia.

Sy's touring emergency medical vehicle?? nah that doesn't sound right

They can do what they, and every other government, has been doing anyway.

Nothing, really. It's just legalising what they were already doing.

If anything it might make things better in the long run, since legal spying is more transparent and easier to keep an eye on than illegal spying.

Finished my build, yesterday.

A few questions:

>Is there any way to have speccy recognize the "Unknown"?
>Is it wise to OC my CPU if XMP is enabled?
I heard having XMP enabled strains the CPU and OCing will just add to it.

Thanks a bunch. And thanks to /pcbg/ for helping me out with my build, even though I didn't budge on a few components.

Any new info on Samsung's Z-SSD lineup? It was supposed to launch by the end of this year.

You do realize only extremely mentally ill people (ie homosexuals) use apple products, right?

blatant marketing

>>57632208
Unfortunately, all you can do at this point is turn off or down CPU heavy graphics settings, like shadows, lighting or physics.

Your CPU is definitely the weak point. OCing it might help a little, but that's probably out of your league.

Your dad's suggestion is really out of date, that might have happened in 90's systems, but is unlikely to be the cause for anything nowadays.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I expected as much, I had to at least try and see if I could do anything about it.

If it helps to maintain the good name of this board, I'm from /tg/ usually lurking for humour threads on other boards.

works for me

The GPL specifically allows others to make money with your program, they just have to give all users the freedom you gave them.

MIT and BSD are great if you get funded by some enterprise that will use your work in proprietary form.

You don't, so only GPL resides as non-stupid choice.

you can release it under multiple ones, a dual license. you won't seem like a basement dweller with the gpl considering that 90% of networking hardware you buy nowadays comes with a gpl insert. gpl has won, like it or not, and the rest is mainly vocal contrarian dropouts angry with everyone because they are angry with themselves because they couldn't let the contrarian shit go and their career never even started.

Reminder that C# is objectively the best langugae. If you disagree you are a poor programmer.

What's bad about having the best bits of both? Both Java and python have a lot of good things going for them

Too lazy to find a picture, but the button on the iBook trackpad. Its nearly as big as the trackpad and special snowflake as fuck because no right click. The keyboard is shit because besides a command key it doesnt have any other meta keys over on the right side. Also it has 2 enter keys and home/end/pgup/pgdwn are on a fn layer, which would be ok if you didnt need 2 hands to operate it.

>>57632090
Remember when thinkpads had rollcage, blue enter key, and a proper F row?
And thinklight.
And status leds for wireless, charge, battery, hdd.
And superior quality.
I miss old thinkpads.

Not at all. Your programs are exactly the same. You can drop files on the app icon on the dock and it will open. LIKE MAGIC. Finder is nicer than Explorer, when it doesn't shit the bed on a network drive.

It's fine. Use the tools you're given. Or just install Windows on it. Get back to work.

A job is a job. You will be fine. There should be no problem using a mac, because the os was designed to be used by unskilled people.

in general os x is a nicer OS for graphic design. actually, in general too. 4 years ago when i started work, i only used windows, and was surprised by how nice it was. it, as they say, just werks.

you could either learn the mac keyboard and all the shortcuts again, or use a windows keyboard and map the windows key to cmd.

as far as never going back, well...the only reason i still use my win7 desktop is for games/general browsing. i use my mbp for work/side projects and all that.
