The corporate business class of laptops seem they would be the best ones to use. Adult owned and taken care of. So I guess that means a dell latitude or thinkpad. Company's swap them out for newer models time to time so finding a lot of them shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't touch ebay

i would like to run it with a single word from any directory. If I make a script that starts dwm like:

#! /bin/bash
startx /usr/bin/dwm

and save it as /usr/bin/startdwm
I can type startdwm anywhere and it will launch. Is there a place in home that i can save this file to so I can get the same desired effect without needing to place it in /usr/bin/ or some root owned directory? If one does not exist can i make my own, ie designate ~/.scripts to work like /usr/bin?

this guy takes his stupid questions seriously

Need a laptop that will last 5 years (in terms of build quality and performance). What's the best Haswell business-quality laptop on the market today, /g/? Looking for something that has good battery life, decent keyboard, and 1920x1080 screen (but 1600x900 works too if it's a good panel). Currently am looking at the Elitebook 840, T440s and 13-inch rMBP, but feel free to suggest anything else.

>>42208762
e6440.

how do i explain to my fucking parents that century link is fucking them in the ass for internet?
we get 12mbps down, .5-1mbps up and a ping <60 which is okay. except my family runs all their shit on it so there's like 15 devices.
they pay about 20 a month because mom's work pays 50. so total price is 70.

I'm still doing my engineering degree.

I do a loooot of drawing in my free time, should I be building a PC for Photoshop, or grabbing some Macbook Pro/equivilant laptop, and would the Surface Pro 2 suffice? (I really like that pro)

>>42208861
If you ever have the opportunity to build a PC, take it. Even if it's a rig for Photoshop.

Hey /g/ I am begging for some help here, I am even having to post from a different pc

I have a laptop which has windows 8 installed on it, I attempted to restore it to factory condition today, however, upon installing updates and doing the required restart I became stuck in a loop of update failed messages and reboots

So, I turned the PC off and back on, and now I'm stuck on a never-ending please wait message. I have my legitimate windows 8 product key, I just need to find a windows 8 iso or repair tool I can use to create a live USB to boot from and repair my corrupted operating system

Where can I find a legitimate windows 8 iso or repair tool? I tried using the official microsoft application for UPGRADING systems to windows 8, but it said this key cannot be used to create a retail copy. I realize that a windows 8 license may only be used on one computer, I am trying to reinstall windows onto this computer, I just can't seem to find a repair tool or ISO anywhere online.

The ISP will spit in your face the moment you complain. You can't negotiate with them

Regarding True Crypt, 7.1a, it's still regarded as the pinnacle of security right? Their well practiced outro was forced on them I assume? Also, I don't have the install package but I have all the files, can I just throw those in a rar and use it as a back up for future installs, or is there a trustworthy download for 7.1a still??

>>42209036
This whole problem started because I restored the pc to factory settings, then started updating it. I can't try anything now as I'm unable to even access the user account, it won't even finish booting

I know that using two graphics cards in SLI or Crossfire won't double their VRAM. I also know that a GTX 770 isn't able to make full use of 4gb of VRAM. Would two 4gb GTX 770s be able to make use of most or all of that VRAM? Or am I misunderstanding how this works.

>>42209155

you need a tangible goal, ie: something to program

if you don't want to program an actual thing and just want "to program" you'll never learn it

if you have an actual idea you're trying to implement, it's a tangible goal that you can google to achieve and learn to build something organically

Can a 32bit application "use" more than 4gb of memory when using VRAM.

So for example game.exe *32 uses 3gb of system ram.

Your video card has 2gb on board.

Is it possible for that game to "use", via textures or frame buffer, more than 1gb of VRAM.

When I say "use" I know it cant exceed its 4gb by storing any textures there because its only 32bit. But via drivers can extra stuff like frame buffer exceed that.

>>42209666
Nope.

The power and reset pins are just switches you cant put them on backwards.

If you put the LED switches on backwards they simply won't light up, just turn them around.

>>42209666
it won't hurt anything. the worst you could do is hook the power in to the reset button.

>>42209666

I'm gonna go with no, considering it's just 2 LEDs and 2 switches, and there's only 2 directions the plug can go in

I think you're confusing a USB stick and a wireless cellular/hotspot receiver

>>42209752

>>42209893

How genuinely difficult is it to build a PC? I've been looking around PCPartPicker/Logicalincrements for completed builds so I know what parts to order. What would be the minimum power I'd need to do multimonitor (two 1440p monitors hopefully) gaming?

>What would be the minimum power I'd need to do multimonitor (two 1440p monitors hopefully) gaming?

Fine, two 1080p? Or should I just add another monitor for the hell of it and just play games on one of them? I'd like to not spend more than $1,500-$2,000.

Another question - I just keep windows for gaming. If I wanted to use an SSD, is it particularly more difficult to dual-boot?

>>42210045
just remember to install windows first or it'll overwrite grub with windows bootloader. linux is a bit more friendly to using multiple drives than windows in my experience

>>42210045
You could game on two 1080p ones with a 280x, but the other option you said was more cost efficient, and it's the same dual booting no matter the kind of hard drive.

>>42210069

Yeah, I learned that painfully during my first foray into linux a few years ago.

I would like to butt in for simply a wink. What you're referring to as Linux, is in actuality, Gahnoo+Linux, or as I've of late taken to naming it, GNU + Linux. Linux isn't an operating setup on its own, but in reality another free part of a fully operational GNU setup fashioned into something proper by the core libraries, terminal tools and essential setup components fulfilling an entire operating setup.

Quite a few computer possesors use a subspecies of the GNU setup every single day, without realizing.

There really is a Linux, and these people are indeed using it, but it is simply a part of the setup which is run. Linux is the core, the service in the setup that sends the machine's supply of assets to the other parts of the system. The core is an essential part of an operating setup, but cannot work on its own; it will work only in the structure of a whole operating setup. Linux is most commonly utilized in combination with the GNU operating setup, the full setup is practically an operating setup with the addition of Linux, or GNU+Linux.

Pardon, but Let me take your time for simply a wink. Linux is not an OS by itself, but in reality another free part of a entirely working setup fashioned into something proper by the Guhnoo core libraries, terminal tools and essential setup components completing an entire OS.

There are numerous possesors use a altered edition of the setup everyday, without even realizing it.

There is in fact a Linux, and they do have it installed, but it is simply a part of the setup . Linux is the foundation, the part of the setup that gives out the machine's supply of facilities to the other parts of the setup. The foundation is a necessary part of an OS, but relies on the rest of the setup; it is only operational in the habitat of a whole OS. Linux is commonly installed in combination and the Gahnoo OS, the full setup is practically Gahnew and Linux added, or GNU+Linux. Every one of the "Linux" distros are in fact, distros of GNU+Linux.

Can I cut in for simply a moment. What you're calling Linux, is in fact, Gahnoo/Linux, or as I have of late taken to calling it, Gahnoo with Linux. Linux is not an operating setup on its own, but actually another free component of a completely operational setup fashioned into something proper by the Gahnoo core libraries, terminal utensils and essential setup components completing a full operating setup.

There are numerous possesors use a subspecies of the original setup everyday, without knowing. Through a weird series of situations, the edition which is broadly utilized these days is often called "Linux", and a substantial number of its possesors are not aware that it is practically the GNU setup, developed by GNU.

Linux is the foundation: the process in the setup that distributes the machine's supply of services to the other parts of the system. All of the "Linux" devs are devs from GNU/Linux.

A sizeable amount of computer users use a subspecies of the Gahnoo system everyday, but do not know. By a strange happenstance, the edition of Guhnew which is broadly applied now is often called "Linux", and a substantial number of the users do not know that it is really the Guhnoo Project.

There in reality is a Linux, and they do have it installed, but it is but a portion of the system . Linux is the base, the part of the system that gives out the machine's supply of assets to the other parts of the system. The base is an essential part of an operating system, but cannot work on its own; it is only operational in the shadow of a whole operating system. Linux is most commonly applied in combination with the operating system, the entire system is really an operating system with the addition of Linux, or Gahnew+Linux. Every one of the alleged "Linux" devs are in fact, devs from Guhnew+Linux.

Hey. I have a Buffalo Router running DDRT which just went pants-on-head retarded. I set it to use OpenDNS, which was fine, but then I stopped being able to connect to the router. My guess is that it's now trying to direct me to the router's IP address to whatever it looks up in OpenDNS. How the hell do I fix this? I sure as hell can't get to the router settings.

>>42210045
Lol. For your build I'd do something on the order of dual 780 ti's (because nvidia). That's around $1400(?) right there.

how good is Windows with changing to a different chipset? would going from an AMD 970 to a 990 be a big issue? processor's staying the same.

>>42212354
It's easy enough. Just install the new chipset drivers before the migration, then uninstall the old ones after the migration. I think there's even a Microsoft tool that does this too.

>>42212354
all the drivers are different, audio, nic, sata controller, etc etc

it's really not a good idea to reuse a windows installation like that, it's asking for trouble.

just reinstall

I'm the only one having problems with /a/ and sometimes other boards? Since last week I been seeing the same posts on the first page, they don't change when I refresh the page and only after maybe one day. It's the same on all the devices connected to my wifi, it works fine if I use the 3g of my phone, so I'm guessing maybe it's got something to do with my ISP. The catalog works fine luckily, so I been browsing using that.

>>42212404
stuff on the mobo is likely going to be different between models. tbh, it would probably work, i just wouldn't recommend it. windows 7 and 8 will probably recognize and adjust to the new hardware and you can just update all the drivers from asrock.

i'm just old school and grew up around windows 9x, 2k, and nt4 and i can say from experience that swapping a hard drive to a different machine or a new mobo was a complete clusterfuck of blue screens and weird errors.

>>42212474
that's why I'm asking, too. the only driver I even needed to install was the ethernet driver. windows picked up everything else, including my wireless card

>>42207440
What have I fucked up?

My computer was running games fine yesterday on high, but today I updated my graphics driver (fucking GeForce Experience), and I've noticed a huge drop in performance. I even tried reinstalling the old driver and it still runs like shit.

Is anybody else having a similar problem, and/or do you know what I can do to unfuck it?

at the risk of sounding like tech support, did you reset it after installing them? sometimes when Display drivers crash the system needs to be restarted in order to function properly

How do I tell if my computer can connect to wifi? Or will I need to buy a wifi adapter (Netgear or whatever)
I got given a PC for free by a nice richfag family and I wanna be able to connect to the wifi in here.

I dunno what info I should copy paste, but the System Specs say it's Windows copyright 2009 so I guess that probably says enough about it

>>42212828
Yeah, doing a clean install automatically reset me.

I'm really pissed about not being able to fix it. Nvidia says my card doesn't meet the minimum requirements to play Watch Dogs, but I was playing the fuck out of it all last week on high. If I didn't know any better I'd say it was some kind of jew tactic to make me wan to buy a new card, but know that's ridiculous.

Also if I DO have to buy an adapter, does it matter which model I buy (like does it have to be compatible to our wifi modem) or can I just pick up any

>>42212807
Nah, it's off. Still runs like shit though.

Pisses me off. This computer's got pretty good hardware, something this simple shouldn't cause trouble.

But it was kinda gift, so I'm going with it, and like I said, it worked great up until today. Another stupid question: Is hardware acceleration something you disable in each game, or is there a global thing in graphics card settings?

Also is it possible PhysX is involved? I noticed that when I tried to play Watchdogs now the fps drops to nothing whenever I'm about to hit stuff... Does Physx involve hardware acceleration?

I just got a Galaxy S4 last week, and honestly it's my first smartphone; at work last night while it was in my pocket the phone somehow set it so one of my text conversations shows up on the homescreen behind all my icons. How do I stop this?

It lays on top of the background but behind the icons and it's not a screenshot because it updates whenever I talk to that person

Please look at the javascript here:

Reset the BIOS to default settings, update the graphics driver and make sure the monitor is plugged in to the graphics card and not the motherboard.

>>42218631
Please calm down.

Does the img.style you set in the JS appear in pic-related? Set the style by hand and see what happens.

first guess: insert space before 'px':

   img.style = "z-index: " + zinNumber + "; left: " + leftVar + "px; top: " + topVar + "px;";

becomes

   img.style = "z-index: " + zinNumber + "; left: " + leftVar + " px; top: " + topVar + " px;";

2nd guess: don't use img.style, but set the vars directly. Something like img.left = xxx; or img.style.left = xxx; (I don't know the syntax for this)

>>42218850
Thank you very much for your time and suggestions. I will try them out immediately.

>>42218345
Sounds pretty cool.

How did you do it?

>>42218850
OMFG your second guess worked!
Now using:

img.style.left = leftVar + "px";
img.style.top = topVar + "px";

Thank you!

i remember you. stop screens (bsod) are often caused by failing hardware. based on everything you've done, i'm going to say your graphics card is kaput. it happens. tough break.

This is a stupid question and you will probably laugh but I need it fixed or I won't get my HD in intro programming.

Anyway:
I have to record the time that different sort algorithms sort integer arrays of varying sizes. I'm studying Bubble and Quick. Bubble's fine, but my quicksort implementation appears to solve integer arrays of 100k elements in no more than 15ms. I understand that quicksort is quick, but surely not that quick? My implementation (of the sort procedure, the timer is my uni's own API and I can't share it).

type
    DynIntArray = array of Integer;

procedure QSort(var arr: DynIntArray; left, right: Integer);
var
    pivot: Integer;
    i, j: Integer;
begin
    i := left;
    j := right;
    pivot := arr[Round((left + right) / 2)];

    repeat   
        while arr[i] < pivot do 
            i += 1;
        while arr[j] > pivot do
            j -= 1;

        if (i <= j) then
        begin
            SwapInt(arr[i], arr[j]);
            i += 1;
            j -= 1;
        end;
    until (i > j);

    if left < j then
        QSort(arr, left, j);
    if i < right then
        QSort(arr, i, right);
end;

A-Arigatou...

I use awesome - it's not too difficult to configure with themes, and useful if you want to be a ricefag in the future.

Does torrenting even work anymore?
>connecting to peers
Every torrent i've tried recently, i just can't download anything
And i've downloaded heaps of shit in the past

>>42219583
Maybe your torrent doesn't have any peer.
Or maybe the tracker is private, you have to connect to some website to connect to your peers.
Or your p2p software has a bug.

>>42219583
where are you?
what isp?
are your ports forwarded, and the machine you are using has a fixed ip?

don't tripfag when you're asking stupid fucking questions, if ever

>>42219583
did you change anything in your configuration?
driver, router, network-settings, different IP (local or public).

So say that you're HR at a tech company, and you have a typical application form on your website.

The last form on the page (after resume, cover letter, etc) says something like:

"Describe in X amount of words something that makes you unique. Try to be creative and surprise us"

What would you generally be looking for as a response to this?

I'm using virtualbox to install windows oses
then I install softwares that come with adware, malware, etc. also viruses to learn how to remove
them if possible leaving the computer usable again.
will/can a virus installed on a guest os in a virtual machine infect the host os computer?

I like to stick sharpies in my pooper.
I also use deldo mode on emacs.

No, unless you have shared folders, or if you made a bridged network with your VM and your computer (but that's advanced stuff, bro).

so you would interpret it as 'interests tangentially related to work' instead of 'what work-related things have i done that others likely have not'?

I recently harvested a butt ton of copper from a bunch of junker computers. What the fuck do I do with it

>so you would interpret it as 'interests tangentially related to work' instead of 'what work-related things have i done that others likely have not'?
yes

>Try to be creative and surprise us
This sounds like they aren't looking for work-relation here. That kind of question helps to find out what kind of person is applying for the job.

Melt it and pour it over your entire mobo. It'll act as a heat sink.

I have access to so many old motherboardscovered in little rings with thick copper... things coiled around them. I seriously don't know what to do with it all.

And then we have the ancient copper heatsinks. You can see the big thing of copper I got in the lower half of the photo, it's a full pound of the shit.

I'm talking about the things in the upper left and lower right corners. What do they do?

I'm planning on buying a dell ultrasharp monitor and I need some kind of simple, usb powered amplifier (so I can use headphones).
I was planning on buying this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-AC511-Compatible-UltraSharp-introduced/dp/B00HVHFYS8/ref=pd_bxgy_computers_text_y
But it doesn't ship to Ireland, at any price.

Can someone recommend something that I can use instead? (I would prefer having it attach to the monitor, so it looks clean and doesn't need a wall-wart)
Worst case scenario, I get some crappy desktop speakers with a headphone port.

>>42210252
Im having the same problem as this guy.

Bumping for visibility.

you might just want to start a new thread since this one's been autosaging for a while.

Can I use my Asuss Wi-Fi GO! as a normal Wi-Fi for my phone or is it only for the remote access thing?
