wow who would have though affirmative action was still a thing.
that's not what representation means as a function of sample size
Just wait a few more years until muslims establish sharia law in the UK.
I know there has to be some of you fuckers on here.
Any other Staples EasyTech technicians?
Other retail-based technicians can play too, I guess.
I used to work for Geek Squad and Office Depot. Fuck those jobs. Made me feel like a used car salesman, and they did fuck all for my resume when trying to break into a real IT gig.
Get the fuck out while you can, before your life is drained away and you die from stupidity and boredom, pursue a real career, i hope for your success.
Was one for about a year...soul sucking job.
If you don't sell warranties you get written up.
Anyone else have a Twitter?
I have one for following writers of books and shows I like. I also have it to help me keep a "social presence".
Just saying stuff like "Happy [Holiday]" or "Excited for [show/movie]" does wonders. Add in some random shitposting and you actually start to get invited to shit.
Only downside is, it only works with people you kinda know IRL.

I'm sick of normies. I'm sick of their shows, music, movies, and culture. Society is breaking apart at the seems and all normies do is post selfies and pound signs. Normies are a cancer to the work. And right now, the world is at Stage 4.
Friends do not matter. In fact, it's statically proven friends are bad for you. People with higher IQs do not have friends. They realize that they do not need them. They leech off of you. They stab you in the back.
You live a sad existence. And you...

So, I'm thinking no?

Fuck off, normie. We are not your friends. Intelligent people do not have "friends".
I need your help /g/. So they finally installed hotspots in campus and they're using captive portals. They give each student a half an hour a day and you can buy an hour for less than a dollar. My question is how can I reconnect after the initial free half an hour has ended without buying the access?

What kind of bullshit place did you enroll where internet isn't included with tuition? Some community college?

Ah, a jewco. Got it.
I just took a programming course. I want to make a simple program. It's not a project or anything. Maybe it could even be a game.
But I don't have any ideas. What should I make? It can't be too complicated.

Black jack. Create a card class, use this in your deck class....there will be rules for the game, and players. Start very, very small like this.
Will tablets/e-readers become like cell phones where almost everyone has one? Are we moving towards an all internet, all ebook society?
Take for example, Amazon's Kindle Fire. Not a great, or really even good, tablet by any means, but the people at work who own one seem to like it for reading.
They literally sell them in six-packs. Price at $250 for the pack, this would be a godsend for a classroom/low-income family at Christmas.
I can see tablets one day being sold for really cheap like Tracfones.

Nabbed a Fire 6 HD for like $30. I think it's the tier above your pic related.
I can't recommend it, but it is good as a Kindle/pocket Netflix for not wasting my battery/Spotify device.
The implications of this are kind of amazing though. A society where everyone has access to the lexicon of human knowledge is looking feasible.

They already are cheap. Sure they are low resolution, but in a few years even the cheap ones will be 1080p.
That said those $50 ones are really crappy in the op. You get a $50 discount when buying 5.
I think I have like 5-6 of the Kindle tablets in my household. I myself use an Asus tablet.
I need a bigger workspace, should I get a monitor with higher resolution or add more monitors?
both
I managed 95% of my CS degree with a 13" 1366x768 screen.
What could you possibly need more screen space for?
Depends on your budget and willingness to have 2 different monitors.

latex is nice; I use texlive to compile latex to pdf for all my classes
no, I can't turn in DVI, nobody knows how to open it
How's rubber? I've always just used latex-mk
I-is it bad if I just use sharelatex to write my papers?
I got really fed up with the giant latex install and afterwards still nothing would work because paths are wrong and you need like 500 compile flags to compile some basic themes
Why haven't you overclocked your monitor yet, /g/?
Because it skips frames like a motherfucker if I go up even 15 hz.
reduces lifespan of hardware

Why would I want to do that?
We started a collab study of Logic.
We recognize the discipline of Logic as a useful tool for mathematical logic/philosophy, analytic philosophy, compsci just to name a few of disciplines you can apply it.
We're looking for lads who are also beginners in the discipline of Logic and want to join our journey in learning, understanding, discussing etc.
Our main source material is this:

It's easy and intuitive for beginners.

Just read Nietzsche and leave logic for the analytic dummies.
Sounds neat senpai, wish had the time.

pls be trolling
I don't see why everyone is so fascinated by Nich, he's just vague and quirky, no knowledge or value added.
The moment I realized that my C++ and systems knowledge earns me less than webdev knowledge, I lost my interest to CS. Not only that, to able to get quality C++ jobs, you need to get past of a lot of shit like Cracking the Coding Interview etc. because "muh smart puzzle questions". Meanwhile webdevs just write javascript and such toy languages REMOTELY and earn lots of money.
I just lost my interest to CS.
Good riddance, retard. Women's Studies might be a better major for you.

So my close buddy's parents just went through a divorce and his dad took his gaming PC. I want to help him out and offered to give him an old case, monitor, gtx 550ti, 6gb of RAM, and a 400w psu. On his end he needs to buy a motherboard and a hard drive. So anyway, what is a good budget motherboard for a low/mid range build like this? Want to give him some tips.

Hmm OK thanks for the bump I guess, from what I see on here people are usually more than willing to hand out recommendations, and yes it is for a friend I just had this old stuff lying around and wanted to lighten up his life a little.
Can we have a hompage thread?
Take a screenshot of your hompage.
I want to implement a Web proxy into my homepage. How do I do that? Like a program that enables me to visit websites through my server without any configuration, simply by visiting the website. Similar to anonymouse and other services.

How much signal does a 50 ft. ethernet cable degrade because of its length?
Every 5 feet you lose 35% internet capacity
