Would make a magnificent tool if lightsaber technology were real.
If you were interested in woodworking, you wouldn't need sets of saws and drills anymore, you just use a lightsaber for everything. Just mount it onto tables for exact cuts. Hell, you could go out and cut down trees with it like a hot knife through butter.
RISC, CISC, VLIW, or EPIC.
Which is best and why?
What are some other options to explore?
>>55220320
CISC any day for just general pourpose aplications.
CISC + RISC coprocessing for high volume calculations
RISC for embeded devices
It's really only comes down to whatever you want to learn and for what you want to develop for.
Sorry this isn't a shitty bait thread that gets 300 replies in 30 minutes.
Bumping with bait.

What makes cisc better? Isn't modern x86 just risc with an x86 interpreter?
>Need to replace a laptop fan
>Need to fully disassemble the damn thing to get to it
>Considering just paying a local shop $100 to do it for me to avoid dealing with zif connectors and risk breaking shit
Should I be ashamed?
>>55220289
If you don't want to risk it and can spare the money, go for it..
If they brick it they'll have to replace it!
>>55220289
Yes I can field strip an hp laptop of almost any kind or Toshiba in about ten minutes.
It's really not that hard just find a comprehensive manual or hardware diagram and presto. If it's your first time go slow, do not yank or pull on anything and in general be careful and it will go fine.
take out your hard drive before you bring it to the store
Say someone wanted to use no cell phone at all what would still be a good way to communicate? I was thinking pager and a homeline with voicemail and VOIP
>>55220281
Letters
>>55220281
You can use a satellite phone. It's more expensive sure but you aren't using a cellular network and a cell phone then.
>>55220478
That's too expensive.
I think calling card and pager would be best option.
good guy EVGA stepped me up to the superclocked ACX3.0 card (you can't get overclocked cards through the step up program) :^)

I found a Mac IIe on the street over a year ago, comes with monitor, 2 floppy disk drives the computer a a joystick. I tried plugging it in and turning it on but nothing appears to have happened... Thoughts?

Put it back in the trash where you found it. Along with your garbage 1136x640 toy phone.
>>55220189
Appears that some of the slots are empty... The rightmost one there has a card with some microprocessors, which is connected to the two disk drives. Am I missing some essential parts here?

I never played Runescape because it wasn't a "real game". The only people I've known who played it were teenagers living with their grandmothers.
I got an Optiplex 330 which has 2GB of RAM and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
What could I do with it ? A server ? To serve what ?
>>55219880
Hot meals and steamy baths.
>>55219880
i have an optiplex 760 with a core 2 duo that i'm gonna use as a plex server+file server+htpc+torrent box+backup my other computers to it
>>55219880
Use at everyday PC with Linux distro. You wont do anything else with Linux than browsing web and programming, right?

How do you deal with performance anxiety during a programming interview?
Are algo interviews just a way to steal our jobs and give them to normies?

does the cpu/gpu have to constantly draw still imagery on the screen every frame i.e if you're just sitting at your desktop doing nothing or do the images stay on the monitor as is until something tells it to do otherwise? i assume it's the latter because of the nature of freezes/hangs, but i could be wrong
>>55219820
>File: 854.gif (2 MB, 500x374)
What's thet from? I know it's based on Ed Edd and Eddy, but more exactly?
to not go into too much detail;
the gpu contains the contents of the screen (the pixels) in a segment of memory called the framebuffer, this framebuffer is drawn to the screen constantly (related to "refresh rate", which i imagine you're familiar with)
freezes/hangs occur elsewhere, and has to do with when software changes the contents of said framebuffer, if software stop updating the framebuffer, the image on-screen appears to stop, but the framebuffer is still being sent to the screen consistantly
if the gpu stops sending the framebuffer, even momentarily,...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

and to try to make an analogy;
imagine a camera pointed at a whiteboard
now imagine the camera is the display, and the whiteboard is the framebuffer
the camera is constantly sampling the whiteboard, and will mirror anything drawn on the board (by software)
if the person/software stops drawing to the board, that doesn't prevent the camera from sampling the board, even though the picture didn't change
How come /g/ shits on prebuilt PCs while having no problems with laptops? They're basically the same thing, except laptops give you even less freedom.
>>55219613
Because if you want something portable you basically have no choice than to buy a laptop, unless you suffer severe autism and try building one.
because building a desktop computer is easy, so you have no excuse for not building one.
>>55219613
>no problems with laptops?
/g/ hates the following
-HP anything
-Non XPS Dell
-XPS Dell (500 charge cycles total rating)
-Macbook Airs
-Post IBM Thinkpads
-Gayman Laptops
-Razer Laptops (sub genre of gayman laptops)
-Surface Pro's (not book, though that hinge is hilarious.
So your statement is basically retarded. /g/ hates everything. /g/ is not one person.
whats all this then.

hey bro your keyboard is broken.
I am planning to upgrade to a 6600k and I was wondering what are some good features that justify paying extra for a motherboard.
right now I am planning to buy this one just because I have always bought Asrock motherboards and it has pretty good reviews regarding overclocking.
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20E3V5%20Performance%20GamingOC/
this motherboard + Xeon E5 1230 v5
only motherboard that allows BCLK overclocking on v5 Xeons,and that Xeon is inexpensive and equals 6700K overclocked,1220 v3 is the i5 of the series
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0qfKLm6Nl8
basically buying K-processors i promoting Intels monopoly,do not fall for the memes

M.2 support? Memory speed? Number of pcie lines, USB 3.1, sound, double uef or maybe a built in wifi adapter. Pick your poison according to your needs.
