Let me know if you need mine
Is it really that bad to do a while(true) loop and rely on breaks? I see people say it's bad form because infinite loops, although that's usually the reason why I do a while(true) loop, and because it's much easier to read because you go straight to the while and see the loop condition.
It's really annoying though, because I just want to test the input to see if I get a sentinel and leave the loop and skip the rest of the code. Testing the input a second time for the while seems redundant.
use a do while loop
If the conditions for breaking the loop don't fit well into the while/for/whatever (e.g. when parsing something complicated), I don't see what the problem is. Code that isn't full of security holes probably has many checks that abort its loops and procedures anyways.
If possible I'd probably try to get _something_ that indicates the loop's purpose into while(<expression>) anyways, e.g. a check for EOF / end token when the loop's intended to read data of unknown length.
>>53675070
It is a do while loop, I want it to loop infinitely unless it gets the sentinel value.
do {
cin >> input;
if (input == "sentinel")
break;
else if ...
...
else
cout << "Invalid input";
}while(true)
I could have it test for the exit condition, then have it do nothing until the end of the loop, then text for the exit condition again in the while, but it just seems redundant. I also have to nest everything one step more.
do {
cin >>...

Fuck the law faggot
A proper obfuscator will make it nearly impossible to decompile.
Is there any way to plug RAM in a laptop using the CD bay ?
There's already caddys to put a HDD instead of the CD reader/burner but is there some kind of SATA/PCI-E card converter ?
>>53674349
No, there isn't a way to do that. Even if you could, ot would get buttfucked by the 600MBps limit of sata3. Just get a normal ssd.

Intro to Ruby Development
I wanna start programming but where do I begin?
Do I need to be super good with math? I'm completely bad in math, what language should I start first? Which one would get me paid a lot? Would it be fine to learn it from my home instead of going to school? If I get really good how long would it take me master a language?

It's over, AMD is finished.

I swear if pascal is also this shitty I'm going to an hero.
>>53673068
Oh no! It's a more efficient 390 with more features! Probably going to be the 480X!
How could AMD do this to us?!?! What did we do to deserve this?!
>>53673142
the 680 was roughly 30-40% (40% on only a few) faster than the 580.) (http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1348?vs=1350)
we are comparing successors here. I.E. the 680 was the 580 successor
remember the 1080 is the successor to the 980. NOT the 980 ti. that's the 1080 ti's job
1080 being roughly 30 - 40% faster than the 980 (which would put it equal to or 10% greater than the 980 ti.
the "x70" has traditionally been 10 - 20% lower than the "x80" counterpart....

How often should you upgrade your computer?
Im honestly not seeing a point in upgrading anything anymore, the "upgrades" barely offer anything over the last generation anymore. Especially for someone who doesn't video game I fail to see the point.
Whenever your finances and desire to do so are in line.
Whenever it can't do what you want it to do anymore and you decide it's worth spending the money so you can do what you want to do.

-OP the massive cuk
bought a G502 a few days ago. Sensor performance has been phenomenal so far. Don't know if it's the sensor or the ergonomics really, but coming from a G402, it really does feel more accurate and easier to use.
A few things though;
1. Why does the fucking left click quack when I let go of it? This is an $80 mouse for fuck's sake.
2. Is it supposed to be impossible to use the mouse while it's in hyperscroll mode? The scroll wheel wobbles from left to right and makes it very difficult to actually use the mouse.
Hate that noise it makes but haven't noticed the scroll wobble
I bought a G602 back in December.
It had been great up until 2 weeks ago.
>a few days after I had been thinking what a great mouse it is
The sensor stops working intermittently for hours or days at a time. I replaced the battery's 3 times and it doesn't effect it. The light on top flashes when it isn't working and even when working properly doesn't seem as sensitive. Kind of disappointing for a mouse that retails for $79.99.

I have the G602. The left mouse button does not work when only using one battery, and the scroll wheel double-scrolls and isn't tactile or "clicky" at all. Other than that, great mouse. My only other complaint I guess is the weight, but that depends heavily on the batteries.

i'm going to be getting a new (used) laptop that has windows 8 on it (came installed with it). i plan to install W7 on it and delete the W8 install once i make sure everything is okay with the w7 install.
the guy who i bought it from modded the bios to accept a different wireless card.
now my question is, i know the w8 stores the serial on the computer's BIOS, will I be able to install W7 still? and would a new OS install ruin the modded BIOS from the wireless card?
Does anyone here use avanti to convert other video formats into webm?

this video needs some explanation. Why did he catch on fire in the car?
Here's a stupid question.
I don't care how hard it would theoretically be. Could someone program video games or virtually anything that spoke directly to the X86 and misc. chipsets to circumvent their programs being incompatible with the continously different, divergent and incompatible processors, video hardware and such in misc. personal computers?
Now surely the games and programs would not be pretty, but would/could they be functional?

What you've just said is complete and total nonsense; and does not and could not ever mean or imply any kind of coherent thought.
