>Having less than 16GB of RAM in your primary computer
RAMlets, when will they ever learn?

Buyer's remorse uh

Getting 16GB of ram, ok fine you might have a use for it. Getting 16GB of ram in single channel, well you're just a dumb duck.

Could you stop reposting the SAME FUCKING IMAGE IN EVERY THREAD. Thank you.
If Android is based on Linux, and if Linux is so secure, then why is Android the least secure mobile OS?
Where is pic from
source?
Android code is shit.
If you want security, buy a Blackberry.
If you want media, buy an iPhone.
If you're on a budget, buy a Windows phone.
heh, i think i'll stick with atom you money loving fucking RETARDS
Atom takes way too long to open

Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try Linux, you can:
1) Install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
2) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full Linux experience".
3) Dual-boot Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about Linux)
4) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with Linux (not recommended)
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe wine can make up for it.

Fedora seems like a nice distro, but the user repos make me nervous. I don't think I could do without things like Audacity though. Is there anything like Fedora that has more lax free software standards?

Wtf is GiB?

GNU/LINUX is like a Nissan Silvia - it's okay if you have the time to waste on modding it and learning in the intricacies of a car's engine. It's what you buy if you want cars to be your hobby - what you spend most of your time doing.
Windows is like a BMW. It is an all round higher quality car and it's more likely to get you from A to B without breaking down. And just feels nicer to use in general. You don't need to know anything about how the car works you just use to help you do what a car is meant to do.

What was Scalia's position on laws relating to and regarding technology? Encryption, etc...
What impact does his death have on the court's handling of privacy laws and whatnot?
Who would be the best adequately-qualified candidate (meaning limited to judges) to join the bench?
Please speak candidly.
Thank you.

>What was Scalia's position on laws relating to and regarding technology? Encryption, etc...
The same position the corporations and three letter agencies told him to have
>>52965100
>three letter agencies told him to have
what possible influence could the NSA, CIA, etc... have on him once he's on the bench? Justices have no term limits and can only be impeached by very rigorous standards. And their very public role makes any "black ops" bullshit you imagine insanely unlikely. If a justice's cousin died under mysterious circumstances it would be front page news no matter what the justice wanted.
You have to accept that Scalia was a true believer in the opinions he held, as objectionable and sometimes inconsistent as they were. Nobody on SCOTUS is being coerced into acting a certain way under cloak and dagger.
I don't fucking get it /g/entlemen.
Why does everyone use Java instead of C#?
C# is cross-platform via Mono
C# has a better VM
C# has the backing of a billion+ dollar company
C# is highly regarded in the professional world
C# has an editor that is eons beyond what Java users put up with
C# has better performance
C# uses less RAM
C# has more language features
C# can trivially hook into other C, C++, J#, etc libraries
C# has a giant library as is
C# produces binaries that run on every windows machine without any extra bullshit
C# has unsigned and other proper types
Why the fuck is Java still alive? Why?
Android

You can never trust a computer:
1. When you use proprietary software, there's no way to find backdoors in them
>Use free software
2. When you use free software, there can be bugs and also well hidden backdoors
(read Trusting Trust)
>Write your own software then
3. The library you link to may be compromised and even the compiler may add something malicious.
>Don't use the libraries then and write everything in assembly
4. The assembly code you write will use system interrupts, which again can have malicious code.
>FUCK YOU WRITE EVERYTHING IN MACHINE CODE
5. You can't trust the ISA of a CPU, because it may contain hardware backdoors which make machine instructions that you call do something malicious except the operation you wish them to do.
>DESIGN YOUR OWN HARDWARE FROM SCRATCH AND GTFO
6. Then you will have to fabricate your CPU somewhere and there may be an enemy agent injecting modifications to your CPU in the complicated fabrication process that has many steps.
There's nothing to save us, /g/. Information security doesn't exist, we're doomed.

I remember /g/ used to discuss botnets all the time, what the fuck happened?
>not pasting in like 1000 empty spaces and then just using the right arrow key instead of having to press space all the time when you write
>>52962741
What kind of keyboard do you have where it's more convenient to press the right arrow key than the space bar?
>>52962990
The point is that you don't have to press the space bar all the time. It saves time
>>52963041
But you have to press the right arrow key all the time. How high are you?
