Is it too small or perfect size?
>>55005311
Its a good size. If only there were some android equivalents with decent specs.
Bought one on release. Absolutely fabulous phone. A bit weird coming from android but I have heavily enjoyed it thus far. I had a phone with a 5.7 inch screen, and after a little adjusting I hardly notice a difference. Only thing that sucks is watching movies on it.
>>55005311
Way too small. I mean, I'm biased, because I like 5.5" just fine, but c'mon. This thing is so ridiculously small.
I don't even get why people buy smartphones, MOBILE COMPUTERS, at that small a size. It's like a toy.
Maybe this was OK when most browsing wasn't done on phones, but now it's just too small IMO.
Is C functional or object-oriented?
>>55005199
hardly functional
>>55005199
Neither. It's procedural.
No.

A$ btw.
>>55005064
the surface is also a really good choice. a little expensive though. It looks nice too.
>>55005064
Literally no one on /g/ would suggest getting a Macbook air. But your cheap ass chinktop would be just as bad.
>watching movies on a 1366x768 TN screen
Suh /g/, looking for a logical GPU upgrade for my rig, currently rocking an EVGA GTX 750Ti, want to keep it $200 or under if possible, with a little bit of leeway.
>>55004929
The new rx 480 is suposed to be around 200.

what if i have my tower on its side and a monitor on top of it on a shelf and a monitor on my desk, and two more towers and two game systems on the floor, and a laptop next to the monitor on the desk, and an iMac behind it?
>>55004951
Then as per the clear rules at the bottom of the image, you would be "alpha to the max"
>>55004655
Not of this world human.

Then stop attention whoring and say the one that fits the most. This thread is not to showcase your special snowflake status.
What is the heaviest compression algorithm?
Not fastest, like zip or gzip, I mean the smallest possible file size.
Is bz2 still the best? What else should I be using?
(for text files, --- daily backups of all my projects)
xz
>>55004643
run all of them and see which file is the smallest.
>>55004643
lzma2 ?
for daily backups of text files you should use version control.

thanks for reminding me never to let employees touch windows
Was looking through Task Manager a few days ago and saw it running in the backgroud. I think that is bullshit.
You're supposed to pay someone $80k to configure that stuff through Group Policy.

I feel like it went through some brilliant developers, pouring their ideas into this new OS, then just got totally fucked by some financial dudes whose whole goal was to make it just usable enough that they'd make money off of it. Shit sucks
Why did Linux on the desktop fail?
Maybe because it was never meant to be a desktop but a server OS
>>55003983
Linux is losing market share in servers like mad.
Consumer technology is just cancer, if something becomes successful or not has nothing to do with quality or usability, only with mass marketing.
When it comes to tech, peolpe have less mental abilities than an ape, just see the backlash taht Win8 got just becasue of the start menu.
>>55003983
GUI sucked. All of the userbase is made up of wanna-be hackers.

300mhz pentium 2, 32 or 64mb ram. it ran windows 98. when i was like 13 i used to format that drive all the time because windows got slow. eventually i got a better computer and used the old one to run some sort of server.. i don't remember what it was. maybe some sort of seedbox? that would make sense but i don't think i thought about seedboxes back in the day. but i do know i installed debian or something in it and had it there. i ended up selling it, i don't know why. but i always keep a secondary machine with some services running. right now it's a pentium...

I was a baller back in the day, with my Intel Bentium D 840, 2GB RAM, and no GPU because I wasn't gaymen.
>>55003878
66mhz Pentium
8mb RAM
Windows 3.11 (upgraded to Win95 and 98 when they came out).
Eventually added in a Voodoo 3Dfx gpu from Monster when GLQuake came out.
Is this accurate?
Yes. Tabs are only acceptable if you're working alone, and bad practice then.
Yes. Best solution is setting your editor to replace tabs with spaces.

I've been seeing news articles saying the 1070 will range from 379 to 450. The only one I can find right now is 450. Is there/will there be a cheaper retailer?
>>55003876
founder's edition (going on sale early tomorow) = $459
regular 1070 (wait probably 3 weeks or a month) = $379
i think
>>55004235
This is true, if you can, wait for the after markets, if you can't and feel like spending the extra cash, try to buy/preorder the founder editions.
>>55003876
>$449
>+ 25% norwegian import tax
>++ % for market domination corrections
>4999 NOK
>611.307714 U.S. dollars
This will be the price in Norway.
