What does /g/ think of chromebooks? I'm considering getting one as a new shitposting/programming machine as I don't feel like my x61 is cutting it anymore.

I've been looking at the Acer 14. Looks like a good price, with a nice display and dat sexy aluminum construction. I've always been of the opinion that acer is a garbage brand but this thing has some pretty stellar reviews so maybe their chromebooks are better than their laptops.

Good idea, bad idea? What do you guys think of chromebooks?

They're alright when you install a different Linux distribution and add an SD card. Cost effective, at least, assuming you don't get the $1200 memebook.

This. Normies get a $2000 all-purpose facebook machine but custom built rig + sub-$300 laptop with your own distro is pretty ideal if you have an ounce of tech competence.

So how good are the TOMOKO-chans?

Also looks like the one you linked got (((Blue))) switches from an unknown source instead of (((Brown))) switches from an unknown source.

This is probably a stupid question, but if my ASUS P8P67 says its compatible with DDR3 does that apply to the video cards memory?
I'm considering buying this or some others and I want to be sure GDDR5 is compatible. As far as PC Part Picker is concerned I think I'm okay, but I'm retarded.

gddr5 is the memory the GPU uses, it's completely separate from the DDR3 you put into your motherboard

GPU's memory type doesn't change the interface, it's still going to be PCIe.

>RAR

Are you seriously still using this shit, /g/? You need to use lzip. It's hard to find copies of it these days, though.

http://web.archive.org/web/20020205061320/http://lzip.sourceforge.net/faq.html

>Well, other than the performance benefits mentioned above, the real difference is that lzip uses a "lossy" compression scheme. Most other file compression utilities use a "lossless" compression scheme, mostly because the lossless algorithms are better understood and simpler mathematically (most programmers take shortcuts, particularly in areas that involve a lot of math).

>This has two side effects. The first is that files compressed with lzip cannot be restored to their original state -- this is the "lossy" in lossy compression. The second is that the performance is vastly improved. Why don't go go back up to question number one and read that second paragraph again. We're talking about a constant-time algorithm that can reduce a file down to 0% of its original size. What's not to like?

>3. What do you mean I can't restore my files?
Ha! A common misconception. You can restore your files after they have been compressed with lzip. They just won't be exactly the same as they were before. This makes sense when you think about it; if you lose a lot of weight suddenly, and then put the same weight back on suddenly, you wouldn't expect to be in exactly the same health that you were when you started, would you? Compression is a dramatic process, and dramatic processes often change people. It's no different for your files.

>On the reassuring side, it is important to note that the compression algorithm used by lzip only discards the unimportant data. And if it was unimportant before, what makes it so important now? Huh? In fact, many users may find that compressing their entire file system and then restoring it will be a good way to learn what is truly important.

>It utilizes a two-pass bit-sieve to first remove all unimportant data from the data set. Lzip implements this quiet effectively by eliminating all of the 0's. It then sorts the remaining bits into increasing order, and begins searching for patterns. The number of passes in this search is set to (10-N) in lzip, where N is the numeric command-line argument we've been telling you about.

>For every pattern of length (10/N) found in the data set, the algorithm makes a mark in its hash table. By keeping the hash table small, we can reduce memory overhead. Lzip uses a two-entry hash table. Then data in this table is then plotted in three dimensions, and a discrete cosine transform transforms it into frequency and amplitude data. This data is filtered for sounds that are beyond the range of the human ear, and the result is transformed back (via an indiscrete cosine) into the hash table, in random order.

>Take each pattern in the original data set, XOR it with the log of it's entry in the new hash table, then shuffle each byte two positions to the left and you're done!

Only the middle one supports networking.

In Windows when your wifi breaks (and it does) you can't even boot into an old kernel. Fuck off idiot.

Give me a browser that's not Firefox or Chrome.
Chrome just gave me a fucking bluescreen after I finished watching a video on youtube.
It's been hanging exclusively on youtube for a while, tried reinstalling it and lots of other stuff but youtube in combination with chrome on my computer is death.
