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/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable

Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in 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.

Those were 8 hour charges.
I'm recording audio in a car with two people on a laptop. Right now I just have a blue yeti hooked up but it's not really working very well for me.
Is there a way to hook two headsets up and capture both audio streams?
A yeti in a car is a horrible mistake. Just get two lapel mics and a 3.5mm splitter

>with two people
did you try sucking them off?
>>55243117
Do you have a splitter you'd recommend?
>>55243139
The yeti would pick up those sloppy sounds, sorry.

Is there any possibilty to use an undefined (unlimited) amount of objects for any data type in C#?
Example: you have "Dictionary<int, Tuple<string, string>>". I want the tuple to be able to be able to hold an unlimited (dynamically adjusted) amount of objects. Is this possible with any type in C#?
How much memory does an infinite list occupy?
Theres your answer.
>>55242750
Obviously it is not about an infinite list but rather of having the possibilty to choose between 1 or for example 10 values. To be concrete: I am having an sql database and I do not know how many columns are asked for which means I have to either use an array of which most of the time 9 entries are completely empty, which is not only a really ugly way but also terribly annoying as it fucks up with multiple loops or I have to override it which bloats the code uslessly.
I mean you already have the params argument...

>>55242750
Well as I get no answer I will have to use an ugly way: I will add a delimiter and split the result. It is terribly ugly but appearently I have no other choice

290x has more enabled cores. Just like every gpu and its better variants ever.

290 is actually an overclocked Nvidia 8800GT

TL;DR version:
Bought used laptop with dead HDD, replaced the HDD and discovered that the laptop's BIOS has Master password and refuses to boot from anything.
I'm a poorfag student that bought used HP Compaq 6735B with a dead HDD. It was pretty cheap and came even with the original bag and charger. I was kind of desperate to get a new laptop since my old Asus F5R's screen died, it took a ton of beating with the screen bezels falling out and attempts at repairing it failed (Currently it's sitting in a box in my room halfway taken apart). I also...

sorry anon if thats an hp "business" laptop you cant reset the password. You must buy a new bios and swap it which requires some soldering skills. Need more info whats the model number.
>>55242130

any ideas what's wrong?

>what's wrong
Use a real OS instead, like Gentoo
>>55242311
what a dummy
>>55241897
It's probably not hanging, portsnap is just really slow in general
must be because of how big the ports collection is
