Why are script kiddies bad? Does it not take a formidable background in software engineering to know what your code does? Scripts and game hacks aren't amazingly difficult, but cover topics only taught in colleges and universities, where they expect you to have a decent foundation.
So, why do we hate script kiddies again?
they're usually 12 year olds who don't know what they're doing or the consequences of it.
They're "hacking" to try and be 1337 but really have no idea what the fuck they're doing.
Definition of a script kiddie, "using pre-defined/ written scripts to crack security measures" literally using someone elses work because they are to dumb to write their own code. Which is why actual crackers look down on them. They don't do any of the work.

that's retarded. why would you have write everything yourself if it already exists?
audio general
i want to add an active sub with adjustable crossover to my system. right now i have a 50W class D amp + a USB DAC/headphone amp. the DAC line out is connected to the amp, which is powering a couple of passive shelf speakers.
would it work on my system? i understand i would not have volume control over the sub this way, but i don't have any other line outputs to connect it to.
/g/ why does everyone use MAC for music production? do i need an audio interface if i am not recording anything external?
Do you need an amp? Or can you plug your speakers in the dac if you're just using 2.0? Does it affect the sound quality enough to be noticeable to someone who doesn't listen to lossless audio or whatever.
>>52084512
A dac won't power speakers, if they were monitors yeah it'd work like that.
Hey guys I had an idea
you know how pi goes on forever in a random string of numbers, i saw this meme about how if you convert it to binary then you could find if you looked hard enough, the binary code for all files that exist\are eventually going to exist, like a JPEG of you on the day of your death exists in there, and your current mobile phone number, etc
http://www.angio.net/pi/
(look for your date of birth in pi etc)
anyway, if you wrote a program that looked for sections of a file in pi, say an mp3 you wanted to send to a friend, the program would search through pi until it found the whole mp3 in binary, then you just get the co-ordinates and you know where to find the file, like if the mp3 was stored at the billionth and ten number of pi and was a hundred thousand numbers long it would look like this
song.mp3
pi
1,000,000,000-1,000,00
and you send that to the other person and they just type it into the program and instantly have the file as there cpu generates the pi string and converts to binary etc,
the real program would cut the file up into smaller search strings so the compression didnt take a huge amount of time, but the co-ordinates you send are bigger,
like
song.mp3
1 1,000,300-3,000
2 9,000,235-1,500
if the file was 3000 digits at the one million threehundredth position, and 1500 digits at the nine million two hundredth and thirty fifth position for 1500 digits, 4500 bits in total,
think about it, also if you programmed it to look for random files in the pi string you would find files from the future lol, but thats a whole nother thing.
http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2013/04/pi_meme_on_reddit_and_george_takei_your_life_really_is_encoded_in_its_digits.html
This is nothing new and unless you can get a hold of a supercomputer it will take too long to make it worth the time.
And that's just for a single picture.
>>52082104
works in theory. big problems in practice:
1) even taking all the known digits of pi we have right now, it's very unlikely you'll find a useful jpg or mp3 in there. we would have to calculate A LOT more digits.
2) you'd have to store all those digits. the amount of digits needed for it to be useful would need more storage capacity than we have available on the whole planet.
Already been done:
https://github.com/philipl/pifs
echo "main(i){for(i=0;;i++)putchar(((i*(i>>8|i>>9)&46&i >>8))^(i&i>>13|i>>6));}" | gcc -x c - && ./a.out | aplay
more like this?

Why did you let this happen /g/?
And now you're on your way to kill Ubuntu by promoting Linux Mint as well. Which means Debian won't have any productive contributors anymore, besides Microsoft of course.
Will the year of the Linux desktop ever happen? It has never been closer than this and it bombed.
Linux is a meme, I use BSD

how so? i see more and more linux games on my linux steam. Divinity OS, PoE, ArmA3, CoH2 from recently ported ones. It's growing faster than ever.

how much would my computer be worth?
Looking to sell my computer to fund a very nice laptop to connect to my monitors and use instead of a dedicated desktop, so this is a two parter question.
The specs of my desktop at the moment is as follows:
Xeon e5-2650v3
Asus x99 e-ws
8gb samsung ecc ddr4 ram 1x8gb dimm
750w fractal design gold powersupply
fractal design define r2 xl case
240gb ocz evo100 ssd
asus strix 960 2gb gpu
be quiet dark rock pro 3 cpu cooler.
if I was to sell this rig what would I be able to get for it? would I make more if I was to sell all the parts individually or as a single set?
I also have two tn 1080p panels I would be willing to add in as a "freebie" was going to sell them seperatly but wouldnt get more than £100 for them both.
Also, would like a laptop that is able to get a large amount of batterylife, graphics power is not required as gaming isnt something I do.
just enough to power 3x 3440x1440 monitors along with the built in monitor on the laptop, while getting 10+ hours of use.
would i be best off getting a custom build laptop or a specific model?

What's your tagging/folder scheme for music /g/? Is this where your full blown autism comes in?
01. Song title.mp3
artist > artist - album (year) (format)
## - Artist - Title.extension
i have one folder called 'assorted'. it has audio files of mixed formats, genres, artists and bitrates with no naming scheme and often incorrect names, and many of my audio files have no metadata. i then listen to the entire folder on shuffle in VLC
They're really laying on the incompetence a little thick

Why are operating systems now-a-days so shitty?
OS X - Basically gimped Unix. Comes with Apple's good hardware and worshipped by retards who want a Unix-like system, but are too retarded and not autistic enough for Linux.
Windows - A haven for gaymers who only care about their games and wouldn't really give a shit if Microsoft themselves were in their dusty rooms spying on them while they jerked off to their lolicon.
Linux - A platform for autists who just like fixing shit rather than actually doing work. They spend most their time ricing their Arch Linux system, putting scantily-clad 12 year old anime girls as their background and shitposting on /g/.
FreeBSD - Is like Linux, but even more autistic and for servers.
What's left /g/?

Windows will never look this good.
eewww gross. looks like linux.
looking good < capable of supporting work
Older OS X looks better. Apple is going downhill in every regard including design now without Steve.
