can I use windows 7 without activating?

I can tolerate the constant "activate your shit, faggot" nagging, but I want to know if windows will just stop working or something if I don't activate it

>>52524533

Don't they only give you a month to activate? Not sure if that still applies to 7.

Just buy it or use Linux.

I made a classifieds ad scraper yesterday, and set the complete category scan delay to 4-6 minutes (random) and individual ad scraping to 0.5-1 seconds. I also randomly choose from a list of legit-looking user agents to connect with Jsoup.

The robots.txt for the site looks like this:

The content I am scraping is located at /item/ and /buy/.

Will my setup get me blacklisted?

How do I install this plugin?

Alternatively, recommend me another torrent client that allows streaming (not qbittorrent, I'm having problems with that).

How legitimately should I be concerned for Windows 10 faggotry.

I'm hearing tell they're going to start forcing hardware restriction for newer PC components somehow on older copies of Windows and a slew of other bullshit trying to force you to gulp down Windows 10.

I'm interested in getting a job with my programming skills. What all certifications should I work on getting since I don't plan on going to college?

>>52525232
You mean "install plugins"? It doesn't let me select any of the files in the folder.

I really need to encrypt one of my hard drives with truecrypt.There is no windows installation on the disk, just data.

I'm looking for a video of a lecture I saw on vimeo. This lecture was all about this guy's philosophy of programming to solve problems, he showed several apps that he built that allowed to user realtime feed back while drawing or programming in his IDE. He spoke a lot about the guy whose mantra was NO MODES.

Does anyone have a link to the video or know who this guys is?

Upgrading to Window 10, is it worth it? They have been bugging me forever. I've been told that whenever a new version of Windows comes out you should wait at least a year or so before upgrading.

I downloaded from the 32 bit folder. You can even check it yourself on the downloads page.

http://www.irfanview.com/plugins.htm

They claim that the normal irfanview installation already comes with the plugin, but i can't find jack shit in the folder or the options. The tickbox at the bottom in the Properties -> Language say that I can enable it at the start automatically, but it ain't working jack shit.

since an electric motor generates movement when current is applied to it, can it work the other way, as in generating current if you manually spin (in this case) the fan?

is this why you should hold the fans if you're gonna blow air into them to remove dust? so the motor doesn't send potentially dangerous current to the motherboard or whatever?

>>52526939
Thanks. I'm not super worried, it's just the PC is 3 years old and I've never bothered to change the paste.

I decided to have a break on software dev and try out some web development. Learning basic html and css first.

If I have a div with an id, how do I change the style of an element inside of that div, without changing all of them?

For example

<div id="foo">
     <h1>Hello</h1>
     <p>Nice to meet you</p>
     <p>Goodbye</p>
</div>

I'd like to change the text color of the <p> element inside the foo div, but not the color of the <h1>.

#foo { color:red; }
This would change both <p. and <h1>

Can i even do that or do I have to change every <p> in here individually?

If it helps, remember this:

Most programs on your theoretical fuckhuge processor wouldn't run much faster than on a 4-core 4Gz processor.

Software rarely takes advantage of more than 4 cores, or so.

If you're performing lots of calculations on an operating system with many processes running, then yes, that processor would start to show more utilization.

I just reinstalled windows 7 twice, after installing the NVIDIA drivers for my GTX 780ti, the system no longer functions correctly.

It goes past the welcome screen and loads the background with the correct resolution, but my start menu, and pretty much every other graphical component of windows doesn't show up.

If I press ctrl+alt+supr I get a black screen instead of the usual options like task manager, log off, switch user, etc. If I press alt+t to open the task manager in said black screen, nothing happens. The system isn't frozen but it doesn't work at all.

What could be the issue? I already attempted installing an older version of the driver, and even installed it manually in the device manager with no success.

Additionally why is nvidia/windows such a piece of shit? I just spent ~10 hours reinstalling all my shit and I get this.

Speed isn't a good measure if processor power. It would take you longer to move house with a dozen Porsches than it would with a semi. And even with the sports cars, there would be things too big to fit in them at all.

The system you're describing is more like a super computer with hundreds of parallel processing units. It's still running at 4GHz. But the amount of processing power is many times greater.

Do black people really not rinse their dicks off after taking a piss? That's so unsanitary and disgusting.

Had some nignog ask me what the hell I was doing as I was rinsing off at a movie theater restroom the other day, like he'd never even seen this before. He didn't even wash his hands either, and just tucked his piss covered cock right back into his pants like it was the most natural thing in the world. Unbelievable.

Let's say a family comes into a restaurant to celebrate a birthday and bring their own cake in. At the end the restaurant staff cut the cake for them and bring it out and serve the pieces to everyone. They all eat it and then die later of food poisoning from the contaminated cake. Is the restaurant liable?

Obviously they didn't prepare the cake, but they did serve it to the customers.

>>52529142
>>52529147
I'll try that.

>>52529180
Won't that just make it good for a short period and then just cause problems making everything "oily"

>>52529065
It's only confusing because you're trying to take it all in at once. Just read it bit by bit. It might help you if you make an outline of each parameter you need to have in your class and what kind of values it will accept, for example

item name: alphabetic 2-15 characters
item size: integer 1-48

etc and then work from there.

>>52529180

Possibly the most misused product in existence.

Naval jelly to clean it then a medium weight lubricant would be better.

>>52529186

Common sense says they're not liable, but there's probably some completely retarded law that would have the owner of the restaurant spend life in jail (and/or pay 800 million to the family's relatives) for this.

>>52529141
Thanks, I am just going to script them out.

I cant fathom how my company paid actual money for this program and it cannot do a relatively simple task like this.

>>52529186
I would expect they would only be liable if they had reason to believe the cake was unsafe to eat.

>>52529186

Not tech. But no. They wouldn't be liable for negligence any more so than someone providing a faulty power supply for a desktop they've taken to a computer repair shop. If there's no outward sign of damage, poison, etc., then no reasonable person would assign them duty to verify the safety of the PSU, or the cake.

They are uninformed and a tad afraid of open source alternatives.

Don't mess around with PDF that much. But try cheking out foxit. They seem to be quite popular... Google about the feature first it might not be included and you might find some other program which does it better.

Btw, do you mind me asking why you need to export more than 100% lateyers from a PDF?

         Foo a1, a2; //what do you call this and what is happening?

         a1 = new Foo( 9876, "hello" );  //compared to this
         a2 = new Foo( 1234, "goodbye" );

It already turbos to 3.9. Mine is at 4.7 with a 212 EVO. I'm sure the h50 would be alright but you might as well just get the h100 and call it a day

>>52529412
Not sure.
If it is like c, it reserves place in the memory once you name it, and if there are, loads deafult values for it.

Try naming an instance without insantiating it and see what you can do, or the other way around.

Work at a direct mail company, and we have a client who wants us to print a job with 100 different letter setups in it (We pick one for each record based on all sorts of variables)

We have never done anything nearly this ambitious (We have done 25 before, but not more).

They sent every letter as a layer in one PDF, meaning that we need to pull every layer separate so that we can pull it into our program as an image to print.

Foo is some custom object type created elsewhere.

Foo a1, a2;

creates two variables: 'a1' and 'a2'. Both of these variable are of the type 'Foo', but don't have any value assigned.

>>52529412
>>52529662
To expand on this, without actually assigning them, you could still pass them to a function that requires a Foo object as a parameter.

This will compile fine, but as soon as that function tries to reference one of Foo's properties, say

Foo.dicksize

, the code will throw a NullReferenceException at you during runtime.

Looks like a corrupted driver installer, something like this happened 3 times to me, did you boot in safe mode too? if not try it, redownload the driver and make sure the download was completed without damage, sadly I don't think nvidia provides check sums for driver installers (I never noticed at least), so you'll have to rely on the file size.

Of course, uninstall all nvidia drivers from control panel first if you can, before installing again.

If it still doesn't work then it might be related to the mobo's drivers, maybe they got corrupted for some reason.

I feel completely retarded asking this question but here it goes. Some time ago I read that SSDs have to be connected to a power source at least once a year to not start losing data. Now I have an SSD laying around that's not being used, the data on it is not important and would be wiped anyway when I use it again. What I wonder is will storing it for a long time actually damage it and make it useless eventually?

I've got a stupid question.

I bought a prebuilt Dell a couple of years ago, when I first got it thing ran quickly, booted in about two minutes. Now it's starting to run slow, I've cleared all the temp files and all that shit, scanned it for malware and it came back clean did a check disk and nothing particularly bad popped up but now it seems to be playing up again. I tried booting it today and it told me the hard drive wasn't found, did that a couple of times and then found it but still ran really slow, even when I booted it in safe mode it still ran slow. I've never cleaned it out before but I doubt a bit of dust is going to make the hard drive not work 2 out of 3 times. I've tried googling the issue and I've followed the advice but to no avail, does anyone have any idea what the issue could be. I'm sure people here will understand that I don't want to take it to a shop and have them look at it.

just built my first comp, major noob, and my cpu is going over 80°C when im not doing anything and i think it is because i never applied thermal paste, so are these temps normal, and do i need this paste asap or even at all?

this is my assignment:
Chapter 1 Assignment - PC Hardware Research Activity

Summary: The purpose of this activity is for you to take the information you learned in Chapter 1 about PC hardware and perform research to learn about some of the different manufacturers of PC components and pricing of the components. In this assignment I am asking you to go to www.newegg.com and select all of the components you need to build a custom PC with an emphasis on selecting the higher end components while staying within your budget of $1,000. For this assignment we are assuming that you already have an LCD monitor, keyboard, mouse, and the Windows 7 or Windows 8 Operating System so all you need to focus on is the system unit including the case and power supply. If the motherboard you select includes on-board (integrated) video, be sure to state that in the description.

Make sure the hardware including CPU you select is compatible with your motherboard, that you maximize performance, and stay within your budget of $1,000. Please visit www.newegg.com and click on the Computer Hardware link on the left hand side of the web page to get started. You can add the items to your Cart and then View Shopping Cart to keep track of your budget, be sure to consider sales tax and shipping in your overall budget.

Please write down the hardware device manufacturer and model, performance description, Newegg product link, and the price of each piece of hardware you choose. Include tax and shipping in your total.

HELP ME OUT AND IT'LL BE APPRECIATED

So I just did some reading on DevOps and my understanding is that it's a way of thinking for software deployment where the goal is to just churn out shit on a daily basis and pass it on from department to department (devs to OT, to quality assurance, etc.) expecting someone to find an error and if they don't, they put it on the market?
That sounds horrible, and like it's only meant to flood the market with pointless software. I read that companies make tens of releases per day just because. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

First, for the price of a 4 gig 960 you can get a 380X which is way better.
Second, unless you're going to do a lot of CPU-intensive stuff, getting a cheaper CPU and spending that extra cash on a better graphics card might be a better idea
Third, get 2x4 gb of RAM
Fourth, 750W is overkill for that rig

why does thermal paste need to be replaced? does it evaporate or become less heat-conductive over time or some shit?

>>52531066
A browser extension called "Open With" if you're getting the links from your browser.

When re-applying thermal paste to a computer, is the paste brand important at all or is it one type fits all? Also, is the more expensive item in pic related going to make a difference for a mid-range rig compared to the cheaper alternatives or is it just a necessity for high-end ones with higher temps?

Welp, see you in an hour or two!

So my computer seems to suddenly start using more RAM, meaning i can't play games i could before (For example, league of legends which i play only because my computer is a toaster)

League seems to be using 92% ram now, when it used to hover over 80%.
Just firefox open uses 73% of the ram.
Once it hits about 89% usage the computer starts freezing and acting very choppy, meaning unusable.

So what happened here? why the sudden increase overall on my system?

Turns out it was the DVD drive, I unplugged it and the system booted as normal, no idea why in the hell a DVD would cause a PC to completely hang, there goes 3 hours of my life

Why is there not a single Linux ricing guide on here?

Someone explain cpus, gpys, compilers, kernals, machine language, etc how computers function to me ie how electricity running through bits of metal on green plastic (i know its not plastic) creates all the shit we see and do onscreen

Is there any way to run encrypted VCE files? The latest craced version version of VCE Player doesn't run it and many of the newer exams are encrypted.

If not does someone have the PDF version of the LPIC exams?

So when I download a new song to my android phone and then use my tone pro to play songs from my phone, it never plays the new songs without shutting off my phone and or dragging around all my music to force it to recheck the folder. It'll keep playing old songs forever unless I force it.

How can I get it to play from what's there rather than what it thinks is there?

If I were to do a clean install of Windows 7 tomorrow, which updates should I not install? I remember there was a rash of updates that were essentially adware for windows 10, but I don't remember which those were and if there were any others to be cautious of.

how do i remove all these windows 10 reminders from all users on win7?

I'm literally retarded with computers. I have pic related SSD.

I tried ordering the correct SATA cables for it but I'm too stupid to know which ones I need. So now I'm stuck with these two.

You can extend the trial till 120 days. After that everything is mostly functional, just an annoying pop-up telling you to activate every 30min.

I have a P8Z77-V Pro, and lately, almost every time I turn it on, it first shuts itself down before bios, restarts and I get a message "New CPU detected, press F1 to setup". When I do so, I'm taken to BIOS, which I just exit and it boots normally. Any idea what it might be?
I don't think it's the CMOS battery since the time is correct. Should I update the BIOS?

That and to the psu

Looking at getting a refurbished 2007-era HP laptop as a cheap burner laptop. Intel Core2 Duo T71000 1.8 GHz processor, grade B, 2GB RAM, for ~$80 after factoring in shipping and everything else.

Should I go for it?

>>52534683
Don't I need a cable to connect the SSD to the PSU? Or am I retarded?

>>52534699
the psu comes with its own cables

what is a /g/ approved music player?

My PC has been stuck in the BIOS screen for ten minutes. What do I do?

I have been shutting my PC off my holding down the power button for a couple years, and I just learned that I probably shouldn't have been doing that. What are some side effects that I might need to look out for?

>>52534845
press the "reset" button on the case

>>52534717
Yeah, but those cables are already connected to other things. I need another one to connect to my SSD but I don't know which one it is that I need.

I want to back up my entire SD card in order to install another OS on it. Is there any way to preserve things such as partitions when backing up a drive?
Cuz I don't believe ISOs are capable of storing that.

loss of recently written data, filesystem corruption, possible additional wear on hard drives

the reasons, respectively, are;
- data writes are cached in memory for a time, for performance reasons, proper shutdown will ensure these have been cleared out (aka, actually written to disk)
- this also extends to filesystem metadata, partially updated metadata = bad, it can lead to files that are unreadable, missing, and if you're unlucky, complete loss of access to the filesystem
- hard drives, while powered, have heads which 'float' above fast-moving platters, they can only stay above the disk while the platter is moving quickly, sudden power loss means the disk must attempt to immediately move the head away from the platter, failing this would cause a head crash (bye bye hdd), proper shutdown includes safely parking the heads before power off

you absolutely should not be doing that

>>52534913
Holy shit, you're dumb as fuck.

are there any spare connectors at all?

this is a prebuilt computer, isn't it? they tend to only be designed with only enough cables to support what they came with

if that's the case, you'll need a splitter, to split one power connector into two

>>52535035
take a photo where it locks up

>>52535083
Not prebuilt. It had enough for my motherboard, GPU, HDD, fans, and CD drive.
So I'd have to get a splitter? There's still another slot on the PSU for another cable.

>>52535137
>There's still another slot on the PSU for another cable.
it's a modular psu? you could get a cable for that, then
though a splitter might be cheaper

I want to upgrade my android SD card.

Most of my apps have data transferred to the SD, can I simply copy/paste the contents of the old sd onto the new one?

How do I install Ubuntu onto a USB from Apricity (Arch based distro)? I need a usb creator but everyone I download doesn't support arch. Please help!

Yeah, pretty much. Just make sure you transfer the "hidden" files too.

>>52535232
righto, you want to install ubuntu from the usb drive?

just write it using dd, like;

sudo dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdz bs=1M

where "sdz" is your flash drive, if you're unsure what it is, run "lsblk" and identify it by its size (note, use "sdz", not "sdz1")
also be aware this will overwrite anything that is currently on the usb drive, back it up if you need to first

>>52535232
sudo umount /dev/sdb
sudo dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M

replace sdb by the one of your usb key. (use lsblk if you don't know it)
replace /path/to/ubuntu.iso by the actual path

>>52535053
>>52535081
Well nothing bad happened yet, so I guess I'll stop.
