I used Gentoo for a few years, and it is dear to my heart, but meh. It all depends. I loved Gentoo for the reasons you describe, but not they're precisely why I stopped using it.
I do miss the Gentoo community though. They've always been highly technical and enjoyable to talk to.

I live in Maine, USA.
I feel like contracts/plans are a scam and cost way too much. I want to be able to just buy a phone and put a SIM card in it.
I was looking at buying an S4 Active (network unlocked) from here http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-Active-i537-4G-AT-T-GSM-Unlocked-Android-Smartphone-Blue-/351660230252
Then buying an AT&T SIM card and no contract plan from StraightTalk $45/month 5GB data.

Is this a good idea?
Thoughts/suggestions? I'm new to this market.
great idea same network a lot cheaper
My work pays for my phone and basically all I use it for is jacking off to hentai. It's a pretty sweet deal.
I've used StraightTalk and Cricket with Nexus phones, unlocked phones, and AT&T gophones without issue. Just make sure the phone is unlocked/has the right antenna to connect to the network the prepaid company uses.
You should be good to go OP.

How do you feel about HP's new $130,000 3D printer?
http://www.computerworld.com/article/3071035/emerging-technology/hp-begins-selling-its-jet-fusion-3d-printer-says-its-50-cheaper-10x-faster-than-others.html
It supposedly prints 10x faster and they're selling the printer consumables at 1/50 the price 3D Systems or Formlabs charges.
>>54606558
First the HP calculator threads, now this?
Jesus fuck, you shills make it too fucking obvious.
>>54606558
Meh, extrusion printing is a meme.
Once carbon 3d sells the monolithographic printer then I'll be interested
>>54606597
And yes, I know this is a stereo lithographic printer

If you can't figure out windows disk management, no other software will help you, anon.

>The current memory landscape spans from venerable DRAM to hard disk drives to ubiquitous flash. But in the last several years PCM has attracted the industry's attention as a potential universal memory technology based on its combination of read/write speed, endurance, non-volatility and density. For example, PCM doesn't lose data when powered off, unlike DRAM, and the technology can endure at least 10 million write cycles, compared to an average flash USB stick, which tops out at 3,000 write cycles.
>PCM materials exhibit two stable states, the amorphous (without a clearly defined structure) and crystalline (with structure) phases, of low and high electrical conductivity, respectively.
>To store a '0' or a '1', known as bits, on a PCM cell, a high or medium electrical current is applied to the material. A '0' can be programmed to be written in the amorphous phase or a '1' in the crystalline phase, or vice versa. Then to read the bit back, a low voltage is applied.

In due time.
You could call it Windows 7 SP2.
It's just a convenient roll-up to skip the 200+ updates on a base Windows 7 SP1 install.
Enjoy

"convenience roll-up"
Microsoft didn't want to risk extended support for Windows 7 forever. Like XP.
Y-you c-could just upgrade to Windows 10 tho...
Why can't we just get SP2 ISOs
Should I buy a chromebook? Are good laptops?
What think /g/ of chromebook
Wait till Google I/O. For a secondary computer the Chromebook is good since quick to boot and very little downtime. So surfing the net and shit. I say way till I/O since they may announce this year of android apps running on Chrome so.....
>>54605328
the /g/ chromebook is the Acer C7 series since they get the most support on running actual linux distributions
Nope, none of them come with Windows, just a butchered version of android. Also space is extremely limited, like 16GB I think.
How do I de-botnet Windows 10? I've realized I'm going to have to upgrade since the free upgrade ends in June and I will eventually need it for work since I service people who use it. The only de-botnet software for it I'm aware of is SpyBot Anti-Beacon. Anything else?
>>54605218
Install Gentoo.
Doesn't upgrading and downgrading store your entitlement? I'm sure I read that

What have you done with lubfuse /g/?
>>54604937
Every worthwhile FS should be in the kernel.
FUSE is too slow.
>>54604937
I created a virtual file system using id3lib and Elasticsearch to index my music collection.
It's not lubfuse, it's libfuse you fucking retard~
