I have an optical drive that I want to hook up to my computer. I have a mini ITX so no room for one. I bought a USB to SATA cable so that I could use it externally. I plugged it all in and it doesn't work. When it's plugged in and before I push the open tray button it is recognized as a disk drive in device manager. I push the button and device manager says it is an "Unknown USB Device (Set Address Failed)" What do? Can I use the USB to SATA cable or an I gonna have to do something else.

>>58736733
who the fuck uses dvds anymore?

is 1440p a meme resolution?

>>58737516
no

Do dual cpu setups (multiple chips not just cores) have any disadvantages such as more memory latency?

>>58737278
if there is water damage to the keyboard, that means that the PCB underneath the plastic keys is damaged. you could try applying GENTLE heat over a period of time to see if that gets rid of the liquid. but if there has already been a short, or damage done to the physical PCB, then i'm sorry my man, but there's nothing to do but replace. if you get the model number from the bottom of the laptop and throw that into google, or eBay you should bode well though!

Just bought bitcoin for the first time and sent it to my wallet (MultiBit). It looks like it arrived but it says unconfirmed and my wallet is still empty. Is that the normal process and someone has to review it or what?

I wanted to install ubuntu onto an allocation of free space on a storage drive of mine, but it's being a giant pain in the ass. Should I just install it alongside windows on my ssd? If I eventually want to remove it, will it be a problem or will I be able to just extend the windows partition with my disk manager?

>>58739084
transactions are set in stone via blocks being mined and creating a chain
it's "confirmed" at around 6 blocks I think
it's because of multiple miners mining and sometimes they mine the same block so the chain can split and basically the better chain wins and stuff so 6 blocks is pretty good for keeping it in one chain or a transaction's amount can be spent in two chains and stuff and double spending and stuff

you should read into bitcoin some to learn about it

Check your current memory usage. If it's hovering around 70-80 then yes, but chances are no.

>which manufacturer makes the better gtx 1070, asus or msi?
I'd go for ASUS.

<link> is for external stylesheets (among other things); <style> is for internal (but not inline) CSS. You write the CSS right inside the tag. Then there's the style attribute (inline CSS), whose value should be a declaration block barring the braces, and which consitutes a rule specifically targeting that element. Generally, separation of markup and style is good, so inline is usually bad. External is, for the same reason, better than internal. Then again, with internal you get one less HTTP request, but with external, the CSS can be shared across pages, and it can also be cached separately from the page contents.

In most cases I'd suggest tanking a textbook; "The Complete Reference" to be precise.
Download C++ The Complete Reference and go through it, obviously skipping things you know about. It honestly is the most reliable way to learn, provided you're experimenting with the stuff as you go.

If a DVD fails to burn properly, will the whole thing be unreadable or do I need to check all the files on it?

"DVDs that are burned separately, perhaps as backups, could last anything from 20 years to 200 years. However, read-write (RW) discs should never be used for archiving: they are not as stable and many may not last 15 years. According to a study by America's National Institute of Standards (NIST) and the Library of Congress, some could last only two years. "

This is ENTIRELY dependent on the specifics of your EXACT motherboard.
It's up to the motherboard maker to implement their PCIe on board, and they do it differently for different models.

We need to know EXACTLY what motherboard you have before we can tell you anything. So, a model number.

Is there any difference between a 2.5" and a 3.5" sata HDD besides the size? Can I use a 2.5" on my desktop?

There's no other appreciable difference but size. Some people claim 2.5 generates less heat and power consumption. I'm actually using a 2.5" as a secondary to my 3.5 atm since I was running low on space and the 2.5 was right next to me

the speed is decreasing because the the inner part of the hardrive is smaller and quicker to seek/read, it's a matter of physics. The end of the hardrive is always slower because it takes longer for the mechanical bits to read it.

If so, it can only capture traffic that crosses the network device(s) of the PC itself.

To capture traffic from your phone, you need to install a packet sniffer on the phone, or configure the switch/router/modem/phone you use to send a copy of all traffic to your PC.

What is this, a forum?

>>58742078
You cannot --or at least, I wouldn't recommend it-- derive proper power to power external SATA from a USB port due to the fact that external SATA power provides/requires 3.3volt, 5volt, and 12volt power and USB only provides 5volt. Also, a USB port has a MAX current output of 500mA, which may not be enough to spin your drive reliably. You SHOULD look for a SATA power adapter that plugs into your wall's power outlet. This is a smart thing to do.

Windows 10 or Ubuntu. If you don't need the latest version of DirectX, you probably don't need Windows at all. Ubuntu can install and update in less time than Windows 7 takes to only check for updates.

>>58742198
It depends on your drive.
2.5" HDDs are low power. So, I have no qualms about it. This is why they plug into just USB and work fine most of the time.
3.5" HDDs I can't really say, but there may be issues. There's a reason that the enclosures for these have separate power inputs, and there's a good reason that the external ones plug into the wall for power.
3.5" ODDs I don't recommend running on USB power. The drive motor may be fine at low speed, but at higher speeds it may not get enough power causing massive issues with data stream reliability.

>>58743545
Yes, you can mix signed and unsigned. First, the signed is converted to unsigned, and then the operator is performed unsigned.

You then assigned it to a signed value, so it implicitly cast (y-x) from unsigned back to signed for storage into result.

With + and - there is no difference if it's signed or unsigned, because C/C++ does not check for overflow/underflow.

> Is it recommended?

My recommendation is to be as consistent as possible. Either all signed, or all unsigned. And if you have to convert one to the other, then do an explicit cast so you can easily see where the conversion happens.
