Thank you Rajesh, a good thread!

>being so poor you can't afford a decent graphics card
>>55307450
no problem
>>55307456
I'm not poor, I'm just a jew and don't like parting with my shekels
I'll be flying back home for vacation.
The following will be in my hand luggage:
Mobo (in anti-static bag, inside box)
Processor (leaving it inside mobo)
HD (antistatic bag, inside foam shield)
SDD (in box)
GPU (no antistatic bag, but it'll be in the box with foam shields)
CPU cooler (in the box)
PSU - It's too big to fit in my carry-on so I'll be leaving it in my checked in luggage.
Will I run into any issues with airport security?
Lastly, will my graphics card and SSD be okay without antistatic bags?
>>55307340
don't do it man, you'll catch hell if it's in your onboard baggage, and if it's checked that shit's gonna be thrown around bigtime
why not just take a craptop and maybe put your hdd in an external case
>>55307340
This is retarded.You're retarded for even considering this. Just ship it.

Are you crossing the border? If so be prepared to get searched. Obviously you are doing nothing illegal here but your stuff will probably be manhandled by goons.
In a bit of pickle, g. I can't decide what would be better for gaming and general use.
Building a comp for a friend for their birthday and I can't decide whether to pick up two Xeon x5670's and put them in a dual socket motherboard or just give them my i7-3770k build and I take the Xeon one.
Those are the two processors i'm working with right now... with just between those two processors what do you think or what would you do?
>tldr; Choose between dual Xeon x5670's or an i7-3770k for gaming and general use.
For gaming the 3770k will be better because of the higher single core performance
Unless your friend plans on doing a shit ton of rendering or encoding or similar parralelized task, give him the 3770k.
>>55307275
Do games generally not use lots of cores? And yes, video editing might be part of it, but gaming first.
How much of a difference would it be as far as performance goes in game.
>>55307361
well the x5670 is a 32nm gulftown part, essentially a first generation i7-970, but clocked a little slower.
So it's nearing 7 years old and 3 generations worth of IPC improvements from the 3770k.
At identical clock speed the X5670 will be ~25-40% slower depending on exactly what you're doing. However, the 3770k is clocked ~500MHz higher, so it's got another ~10-15% performance increase over the X5670.
So while the 3770k is only a 4 core/8 thread CPU, it's per core performance should be a good 30-50% greater than the Xeon.
And most games only use 2-4 cores.
I was thinking of getting a Dell Inspiron 15-7559 for gaming, game development, video editing and music production. Should I do it? The specs seem fantastic for the price:

I really don't want to get alienware because it's for absolute faggots.
just be ready for the worst build quality you have ever seen
i have one aswell, left mouse button doesnt work, keyboard was never clipped into place correctly, and the screen was somehow off to the right by like 1/4"

Hello /g/ I've never really owned a laptop before so I know fuck all about what is good and what is shit.
I'm going to have to buy a laptop for school soon, I'm almost exclusively going to program on it, it doesn't have to be anything great, it just has to work.
I'm trying to spend the absolute minimum amount possible and get a decent working laptop, what do you suggest? Help a retard out.
Hang yourself, it will literally solve all of your problems.
Or go to /wsr/. Either way is fine with us.
>>55307258
Thanks I think I'll go with the former.

I'm tired of my high Directv bill for the shit I get. I can download my favorite TV shows but am wondering if anyone has cut the cable and what do you do if you want to watch cable news, I'm in the USA? I like watching CNN, Foxnews and such it sucks trying to find a youtube stream.

Of you live in a city of over 15,000 buy a good quality over the air tv antenna and mount it on your house. You'll get all the news you'll need. Even more stuff if you're in a big city

"Propaganda must always address itself to the broad masses of the people. (...) All propaganda must be presented in a popular form and must fix its intellectual level so as not to be above the heads of the least intellectual of those to whom it is directed. (...) The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses. The broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly wavering between one idea and another. (...) The great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning. This sentiment, however, is not complex, but simple and consistent. It is not highly differentiated, but has only the negative and positive notions of love and hatred, right and wrong, truth and falsehood."[5]

is that in the debian repos?
if we talk on TS or something im game
Pathetic how the first thread is all about linux and "installgentoo" but 99% of the threads here are about fucking graphic cards.
Who cares about your shit graphic cards and how shit you are. Real ops don't need any graphic but a simple tty and 100GB internet connection.
Who here are real ops ?
>>55306983
Install Gentoo
Good bait I think?
>>55307013
I just don't get what's so "hot" about graphic cards. Hell, you pay 800$ hardware so you can play a shitty game 90$ game at 100FPS.
Rinse and repeat every 2year.

I'm coming back to Arch after a while, and want to know: what's the best desktop environment these days?
Unity
Well I kind of like xfce4, I find it way more customizable than gnome
>>55306967
Also, it is so light. Install a good theme and Compton, then enjoy. I tried Gnome, Cinnamon, KDE, Mate, i3. Honestly, Xfce is the best DE I ever used, nu plans to change it. Really hope the development team will not abandon it.
I just got my SICP today.
What should I expect?

Nothing

I have to wonder, what did people like you expected from a 200$ card? Who's the one saying that it will out perform a $500 Nvidia top of line card?
