I'm starting a CS undergrad major soon and I'm not sure what laptop to get. A lot of people say a MacBook Pro is the best bet because it's unix-based, has bash and can be used out of the box. Also, I've noticed that most people working in CS have MacBooks.
How much better is this compared to dual-booting Linux on a Windows laptop? I'm really turned off by the high prices of Apple laptops. I feel like I could instead use to get a Windows laptop with a good mobile GPU so I can play some higher-end games in my spare time.
Get whatever laptop you want man. It doesn't really matter as long as you like it and you can work with it.

>Apple was the first company to put a truly powerful computer in the pockets of millions when it launched the iPhone in 2007. Smartphones had technically existed for years, but none came together as accessibly and beautifully as the iPhone. Apple’s device ushered in a new era of flat, touchscreen phones with buttons that appeared on screen as you needed them, replacing the chunkier phones with...

Was it your main drive?
The drive i'm wiping was obtained from someone else and i am usingsudo shred -zvn 0 /dev/sdato wipe it on his request.

Paranoid pedophiles wouldn't post on /g/ about wiping their drive.
This is the most widespread /g/-meme.

I used to all the time,

because windows would act up if I didn't, i guess that means i probably had a bad drive.

tried several, format c:, dban, just whatever.

Who makes the best radiator fans and why is it Corsair?
Corsair is shit.
Want best fans? Noctua
Want excelent fans that are not poo colored? BeQuiet
Want led light fans? Thermaltake Riing
Anything else is waste of money
>>54356484
Noctua makes gray fans. It's true.
>>54356491
they also do black for the industrial version.
Or if you're a large company you can place a custom order and they can do whatever color gets you to cum fastest.

What are you working on, /g/?
I would really appreciate if anyone could answer my quick question please.
Using Selection Sort to sort an array of integers 1, 3, 8, 4, 2, 5, why is the number of comparisons required 15 and not 20? I need to scan the whole array once to show that 1 is the smallest, and then 3 more times for 3 other swaps, right? So why is it 15?
