It's not the easiest thing to implement, in order to do it right they have to set it up so that all cores "line up" (made that up on the spot but you can google concurrency) so-as to not create problems issues with like, shit not syncing up right because like, one core finished things while another got stuck or something.

How do I get rid of tearing on linux? AFAICT everything's set up right in xorg.conf. I've got a GTX 970 running 352 drivers running Manjaro. Here's my xorg.conf:

http://pastebin.com/WqQd0rBg

Not sure if related, setting CoolBits to 12 or any value is doing absolutely nothing, either.
>>
>>52664289
a lot of problems are inherently serial, not parallel. Simple example, say the following occurs in the code:
x = getValue();
y = doSomething(x);

The computer can't go calculate y until it's done calculating x. The operations to get x have to happen first and theres no way around it, even if you have other cores available that could be working on calculating y. This is a bit of a contrived example, but the same thing crops up all over.

There's also the fact that parallel programming is just plain hard. When two threads try to access the same thing at the same time it's easy for them to step on each others' toes and leave the object in an inconsistent state. The solution is usually locking, enforcing that only one of them has control at a time. But this means that for that operation you're doing no better than a single thread, so you have to find ways of minimizing it. And you still have to handle communicating between threads and dividing up work among them.

I have dual screen.
I play video games on the left, and listen to very long youtube videos on my right screen. Like podcasts, or old radio shows etc etc.

Is there any way to control youtube while in game?

Since I listen to spoken word, it can trample over what I need to read or hear something in game. Its awful pausing the game, alt tabbing out, pausing, listening to the game for 20 seconds, alt tabbing again to turn it back on etc etc.

Any ideas?

If you have a device on which is installed Steam connected to the TV, you can stream games from another device with Steam. I can't vouch for how well it works, and it sounds like maybe it's not the solution you're looking for.
>>
>>52665363
Your best bet is probably a monitor which has both DisplayPort/DVI and HDMI input. The former depends on what your GPU supports.
>>
>>52665363
Its not a big deal at all.
Most monitors have HDMI and DVI inputs now.

If you are using hdmi from your PC?
Most video cards have DVI, so you could probably get a DVI cable to hook to your monitor while leaving the HDMI open.

If you HAVE to use HDMI on your PC, then just buy an HDMI to DVI adapter. Plug the adapter into the back of the monitor and plug your HDMI into it.

The adapters are cheap and easy to find, a lot of video cards and motherboards just throw them into their boxes so you may even have one laying around.

Another quick question, is the difference between 60 and 144hz very noticeable?
I've got my eye on a couple of monitors, one IPS, and one 144hz and I'm not sure which to splash out on.

If you play any video games at all, 144hz is going to be more important than the gamut and viewing angles of an IPS panel.

>Another quick question, is the difference between 60 and 144hz very noticeable?
Yes. Both the jumps from 1920x1080 -> 2560x1440 and 60Hz -> 120/144Hz make a noticeable difference.

>I've got my eye on a couple of monitors, one IPS, and one 144hz and I'm not sure which to splash out on.
Not sure what you mean by this comparison. The 144 Hz one is a TN panel? TN is a fine compromise if you don't care about viewing angles.

What GPU do you have?

You can upgrade from windows 7 with daz loader, dunno what could cause that problem.

I've asked this already in a couple other stupid question threads, but I haven't really gotten answers. I applied clipper oil to a GPU fan, intending to decrease the noise, but now it's actually noisier/grindier than it was before. Not sure what I did wrong, but in hindsight, I don't think the fan needed lubricant anyway. It was just running at an unnecessarily high speed due to poorly applied thermal paste. Could I have used too much oil, causing the fan to drag? Or could it have dried out somehow? Is there anything I can do to fix it now?
>>
>>52667461
Sounds like in the process of oiling it, a small bit of dust / grit got into it, making the grinding noise. Try wiping it with a lint-free cloth / microfibre cloth to clean it, then using compressed air if possible to flush the grit out.
Try running it after that to see if you get the noise. If not, great. If so, try re-lubeing it.

We have two network multifunction printers/fax/scanners in our office, same model, and the vendor just came out and "rotated" them (switched their locations) since one of them gets way heavier use than the other.

What's the best way to update the printers so that I don't have to manually add printers to 30 workstations? In theory I think I should be able to:

Printer A - IP xxx.xxx.x.20
Printer B - IP xxx.xxx.x.21

Just change the settings to where I rename Printer A to Printer B and vice versa, and swap their IPs, and that should work, and I shouldn't need to update any workstations (since if User prints to Printer A, it should be looking for a device at xxx.xxx.x.20 named Printer A, right)?

Okay then, if you know your raid settings, can you use the same settings on a different board and get the Raid array to work?

I have a backup drive and plan on upgrading my entire rig soon, but it's still nice to know these things so I don't wipe my Raid array if it's avoidable.

No. You cannot import the raid. You have to move your data, break and recreate the raid.

I'm having motherboard issues (I think), the onboard sound isn't working anymore and an older X-fi card that I've put in there just shat itself all within the same month. I'm planning on replacing the motherboard sometime this year and upgrade to an 1151, which entails upgrading the cpu ram etc. I'm wondering (don't know much about audio), what would be a better temporary(preferably long term) solution, getting a DAC or another cheapo sound card that could die? Am I correct in understanding that a DAC by itself doesn't do surround, but a DAC with an input from a surround-sound capable card would handle it fine?

Partial torrents probably. Edge parts of the files was in chunks that simultaneously contained parts of other files which was not saved as files. uTorrent keeps those parts in files like ~uTorrentPartFile_12345678.dat . IIRC even if you move those too uTorrent will not use them. That means that is will redownload missing parts.

I dunno how packman did it but I'd use sprites for all the different corners and determine what situation it's in and pick the sprite based on that like:
[X,X,X
X, X,0
0, 0,0

For every index in the array I'd check the surrounding 8 squares. If they're in the configuration that we have at index 4 (middle square) I'd pick the bottomRight sprite as the sprite I render. Index 2 would be edgeRight or something. You will figure out all the combinations when you write it out.

How do I change the Windows language from a foreign language (French, in this case) to English?

Does anyone know of a way to download the full size image from Cfake? If you click on a picture, the default size is small, but for pictures that have a higher res available, they have a "switch size" button /icon in the top right, next to the close icon.

Here's where it gets beyond my experience and don't know how to proceed. The URL's of the small size image, and the larger size image are the exact same. Even if you copy the fullres URL and paste in a browser, you still have to click the "switch size" button.

The only difference I have found, is that if you inspect element, there's a line that's a little different.
The line for the small res is--- <img id="content_img" border="0" src="photos/145361173001ee884e_cfake.jpg">

and the one for the larger res is--- <img id="content_img" border="0" src="ophotos/145361173001ee884e_cfake.jpg">
