Okay then, I'm more than ready to lie about a degree to get a job. I live relatively in the middle of nowhere and any "programming" position that comes up, is
>entry level
>bachelor's degree
>need 30 years of experience
Been at a couple of IT jobs with people with "bachelor's degrees" who didn't know what an IP address is (yes really) and programming "interviews" go about the same the three times anything shows up in my city.
Are degree mills a way out of this? These people weren't having sex with anyone so I assume they lied their ass off too.
At this point, would much rather take the option of bullet in the head than waste my time at school and be 100k+ in debt. Nobody in big cities is ever willing because the answer is always we wanted someone local and usually at that point I only got the call because I was lying that I lived there.
I'd much rather lie and be hopping from actual jobs in the hopes that my performance after the initial few months would be the real credentials. There's no way I'm dropping that kind of cash and time just to get in the door, that's fucking insane and they'll just say no for some other reason. There must be an easier way.
I bet you can't even write the fizzbuzz

Just built my friend a pc, we had to do it in a shoe box because he didn't have enough money for a case, are there any actually drawbacks to it being in cardboard other than having to turn it on with a screwdriver?

Let me know his city so in a few months I can look up if he died in a fire.
Got my idle CPU temp down. Replaced the stock cooler with a CM 212, also cleaned and re-applied the thermal paste. I used the one that came with the new cooler. Probably should be a few degrees cooler still. At this point I don't care though, and I'm too lazy at this point to unscrew the new cooler (which was a bitch to put on) and re-apply some new thermal paste.
I'm just happy that my CPU isn't on fire.
Okay
>>55449577
yeah I wanted to make a thread to say this, I thought my peeps should know
jesus christ OP, and i thought idling at 38c was high

What is the dude's problem at Distrowatch? So he and Texstar (the creator of PCLinuxOS) disagree politically or whatnot? Who cares? I thought this was about free software? If Distrowatch refuses to show the latest releases from the PCLinuxOS website, then aren't they doing more harm than good for free software? Especially since this distribution is one of (if not, the best) distro in existence today. Why would you hinder something so good just because you disagree with the creator on certain topics? This is stupid. I was able to confirm this via an Xchat session with one of the developers. The dude from Distrowatch needs to chill. i love his website, but he just needs to allow the the latest versions to be posted.
If you go to distrowatch.com, you will see that the latest update for PCLinuxOS was Last Update: 2016-07-06 13:20, but it is not showing up on the website like the others are. The last one to be advertised like the other distributions was the 2014-12-24. WTF?

Tell us more of this disagreement.
Newegg kept my order since 2007, thought that was pretty cool. For some reason though the video cards (8800gtx sli) wasn't on the list though. Post your fist system builds!
fuck 680i chipset up the ass raw
Pic related is my first build, getting ready to order parts soon.
GPU is missing because I can't decide on a 480 (if Radeon unfucks it) or something a little more expensive.
Comments/Criticism? It is a budget build, shooting for $700-$750 right now and all my accessories are scavenged.

>>55449341
why arent you the new supervisor? do you suck?
no
you could always try to get him fired
I'm in love with my supervisor.
did any of you guys have one? it is worth? how many fps?
>>55449140
ITS SHIT
mine arrived yesterday, a friend run it on a thinkpad.
fps depend on the gpu you mount in ot, obviously, but it works great and seeing games, with ultra graphics and 60fps on a laptop is awesome.
despite this, yes, it's shit. too many hacks, psu, another gpu, cables, a box to store everything neat, and modest probability it will not work
>>55449140
I ran a GTX 970 and a GTX 980 on a BPlus PE4C 3.0, connected to my ThinkPad.
Obviously, it works. What was previously unplayable on my ThinkPad at all settings under native resolution (Homefront 2), was now playable.
This is after considering that my ThinkPad has a Quadro K2000M, which tends to at least be able to play most anything, even if you have to reduce the quality settings.
What is really noticeable though, is that the difference between a GTX 970 and a GTX 980 is staggering. Not that you would really notice on a less performance hungry game.
I use one because I don't own a desktop PC. This is a more economical decision for me, because I have all of my software licenses on one computer (because some people have jobs, unbelievable I know)
Official report on Ian Murdock's death has been released. The medical examiner ruled it a suicide.
>Ian Murdock, the Linux programmer who died under mysterious circumstances after claiming he was beaten by police, hanged himself
>"The police here beat me up for [knocking] on my neighbor's door.. they sent me to the hospital," he wrote. "They followed me home... then they pulled me out of my house and did it again."
>Theautopsy recordsalso note his body was covered in bruises -- on his chest, abdomen, back, arms and legs.

>When a police officer showed up the tech entrepreneur's home Monday morning, the doors were locked, according to the records. But inside, he could see Murdock's naked body lying face down on the stairs -- and a vacuum electrical cord wound tightly around his neck, according to the medical examiner's report. The vacuum cleaner was positioned at the top of the stairs, behind the railing.
murdock died from autoerotic asphyxiation confirmed

Hey /g/,
I'm looking for a piece of hardware that is the opposite of pic related. To be clear, I would like a PCIe x16 slot filler. So that I can plug a x1 card into it and the card is flush with the back of the case in order to be able to plug stuff into it. Does such a thing exist? Thanks for your help.
>>55449108
a x1 card will plug perfectly fine into a x16 slot. try x4 slots are designed the same way.
>>55449128
Here's a shitty pic. It fits and works, but I want to know if there is some sort of bracket that will make it so this usb card will be up against the back of the case.
Secondary question: why do so many people need a thing to expand a PCI e x1 slot into a x16 but I can't find the thing I want?
