what is the best viewer for windows, I was thinking of installing honeyview
>>51501637
Windows Photo Viewer. I've never seen an argument to use anything different.
IrfanView 4 lyfe
This thing has followed me since Windows 98 times. It's the kind of software that makes it hard for the end user to move away from Windows.
>>51501637
I've been using pViewer for quite some time now
Hey /g/, ive been really interested in learning a programming language, and i see how much you goes go on about C. So i was wondering if C is a good place to start, and if so is pic related a good book for someone who barely has any programming knowledge?
>>51501361
English 9, then programming.
>>51501361
nope, start with something easy like python, then go c++, or go straight to c++ if you think you are smart enough
Old /dpt/ at >>51494191 What are you working on?
First for C

Anandtech confirmed shills.
>From a performance perspective then the R9 380X is not a very exciting card. After 3 releases of the fully enabled Tahiti GPU – Radeon 7970, 7970 GHz Edition, and R9 280X – the architectural and clockspeed similarities of R9 380X mean that it’s essentially a fourth revision of this product. Which is to say that you’re looking at performance a percent or two better than the 7970, well-tread territory at this point. In a sense then the R9 380X is a de-facto $229 7970, with an extra 1GB of memory.
>>51501155
This is a known fact dude. They've been sponsored by Intel even before Anand left.
What's even funnier is that this article (http://www.anandtech.com/show/9793/best-cpus) made absolutely no mention of the 4690k or 6600k anywhere. Both of these chips are the bread and butter for $700 ~ $1000 mainstream PC builds.
Why would anyone get a 380x when a 280x can be found for far less nowadays and outperforms it?
>>51501257
They were pretty subtle about it, constantly comparing the 380x to the 7970.
It's like they're implying you only get new products if you buy nvidia.
I'll be using it for general use, programming, and gaming. I have a 1080p@80hz right now and I don't know how much of a difference getting a 144hz 1440p (PG278Q) would have for gaming compared to the real estate of a 4K. I've got $600 to burn, $650 if it's a shitty deal.
Alternatively,should I just wait for a 120hz 4K monitor to come out instead? I'm waiting for the next GPU series comes out before I upgrade my 290x, so maybe it would be better to wait till then?
>gaming
1440p or less
>everything else except gaming
4k

1) Are you happy with AMD insofar? Do you believe the next gen of graphics card you might stick with AMD? If so, you may want to look into a FreeSync display.
Example: http://slickdeals.net/f/8292981
$300 for a 1440p 144hz FreeSync display.
2) Your $600 is right around getting a nice 34" or 35" 21:9 ultrawide monitor with 3440x1440 resolution. There's several deals on ultrawides popping up recently.
I was interested in this one recently:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0JC-0007-00D81
The 3000R curvature is very pronounced, 3000:1 contrast ratio is awesome due to being a VA panel, the resolution is awesome, and it has near ~100% sRGB after calibration. After a good calibration it'd be awesome, but I decided not to since I wasn't too big a fan of the shape of the stand and that it'd be a lot of money to drop on a monitor that wouldn't have an adaptive sync technology.
>>51501024
What size are you looking for and how much desk space do you have.
For $500 you can get a 27" 4k monitor with Free Sync. A 24" is about $100 less.

Be honest
have you read it?
>>51500995
yeah, it sucked.
art is bad and the translation is unreadable.
>>51500995
Yes. It's good as a basic overview of SQL for highschoolers and women.
The character designs are cute, and many types of basics are covered.
>>51500995
Yes, cover to cover. It didn't help solve my problem but provides a decent introduction to databases.

I have a Pentium 4 and a circa 2002 Celeron that I have no idea what to do with.
I've considered building cheap PC's to use as home servers but wanted to see if there is anything better they could be used for. And I'd feel bad just tossing them.
Does /g/ have any good ideas?
P4 a shit.
Buy an old core 2 duo and make a cheap C2D build.
Those fuckers will last forever.

Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are three 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) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux (not recommended)
If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dual-booted (recommended for pure newbies),
we recommend you use it exclusively for 2 weeks, and avoid Windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's
likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to Linux as your new home and working on
making it feel the way you want it.
>Recommended for beginners:
-*buntus except vanilla Ubuntu (Unity)
-Debian (For Broadcom devices, use an ISO that includes non-free firmware)
-openSUSE
-LinuxMint (a.k.a Ubuntu LTS + Cinnamon)
Before asking, please find the answers to your questions in resources.

Any WINE experts here? I want to play the Street Fighter V beta through wine but it errors out with an unintelligible mess of logs.
What's the general process to troubleshoot and move forward with software that doesn't work on wine?
Who is up for another round?
Not at all as dirty as the other one.

Get a U-Turn Orbit.
Or buy vintage. Preferably, buy vintage.

Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).
If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", lightweight

Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>They’re really cheap when you buy a used one.
>Keyboards feel excellent while typing (yes, even the newer ones).
>Great durability thanks to the inclusion of rollcages and use of glass fiber reinforced plastic for the chassis. The keyboard is splash proof and spilled liquids will drain out.
>Utilitarian design - e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking solutions that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for almost every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing on the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

Never bought my own laptop before and considering an incomplete T500, no HDD or charger. Would probably upgrade to a SSD. Just browsing and programming.
How much should I pay for this thing?
>>51499455
What is the screen resolution? The T9900 is a pretty damn good CPU.
>>51499380
Should I buy any specific DDR 3 RAM for my thinkpad, or should I just buy the cheapest. I'm thinking of upgrading to 4gb.
