My question:
What happens when I use libraries that are of different license? For example, if one function call that I use belongs to a LGPL license, and another function call that I use in the same file belongs to a MIT license, then what license holds??? The code will be pushed to Github.
Fuck off
So if I leave a hard drive exposed (out in the open air) will that hurt it? I just stripped the fucking screws on the caddy to my PS3's hard drive mid replacement, so I have to wait a while for the replacement to come in.

Whenever I torrent something that isn't anime, qBittorrent gives me a BSDO with the error being PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.
I have the pagefile disabled, but I have ran into the problem with it enabled or disabled.
I've never even come close to using up all 16GB of my RAM.
I have thoroughly checked my HDD, nothing has ever found any errors with it.
What the fuck do I do?
>>51224504
It should be fine if you don't expose it to air for too long.
>>51224838
only watch anime
>>51224848
Usually I do, but I wanted to watch the Ghost in the Shell film.

What's a good alternative to Popcorn time?
>>51224838
It's most likely a faulty RAM stick causing you that issue. If not, then it's a bad power supply making the RAM behave oddly.
>>51224965
That still doesn't explain why it doesn't affect downloading anime, but thanks.
I know how to test RAM but how the hell would I find out if it's my PSU?
>>51224838
While I can't solve your issue, never disable the pagefile in Windows.
Giving it a small >1gb~500mb pagefile is a much better solution.
>>51224932
EVGA or MSI 4GB. Idk about a few years but a year at least. Get a second one and SLI if you're worried, with a mobo that can support it.
why does YouCompleteMe and Vim give me this error, while everything compiles fine and i'm using the library correct?called object type 'DenseVector' (aka 'int') is not a function or function pointer
>>51224983
Really? My understanding was that pagefile was essentially just part of the HDD that Windows considers to be RAM, so it's unnecessary if you have a reasonable amount of RAM.
>>51224980
Try replacing the RAM first (or running memtest), if that doesn't solve it then maybe look into the voltages (perhaps with a multimeter, or from BIOS/software tool).
Actually, let me ask you this: Have you overclocked your CPU or RAM?
>>51225010
Yeah but developers are always retarded.
>>51224984

>dk about a few years but a year at least.
Hm ok then, and with a higher budget, is there a card that makes a real difference with this one to recommand?

Rate my first build ever? Still not sure if it's worth wiping off the compound on the Noctua and replacing it with Silver 5. I plan on upgrading to 980 once they upgrade to HBM next year.
>>51225024
I ram memtest a while ago on both sticks, no error, then tested them individually and got the same response. That was around a month ago, though.
No, I haven't overclocked anything. Can you even overclock RAM? What's the point?
>>51224845
So can I store it in a zip-loc bag in the mean te or do I need one of the static resistant ones like the ones they ship em in? It'll take a week or more until I get the replacement.
Alright i'm going to try to word this in a way that makes sense. A few days ago I moved my computer from my monitor to my tv in the living room to play some games on the big screen and when I connected it to the tv it wouldn't go passed the initial bios menu (MSI Z97M Gaming Mobo)
So I connected it back to my monitor and turned it on again, same problem and when I boot into the bios the screen is completely corrupted I can move about some menus but others won't load at all. Is there anything I can do to fix this or would I have to purchase a new motherboard? Thanks anons.

thanks.
i was just thinking that there might be some protection to prevent competitor cards to run. good to hear that that's not the case
>>51225261
Hardware store people have tole me you might be "safer" with putting as many similar brands together intot he same build but I don't think it makes a difference most of the time.
PCPartPicker is good for really specific item conflicts.
If i buy a new case will screws for the mobo come with it ?

I think I want to try out Linux
I just need it for programming (java, C and php) when I'm at uni and web browsing and PDF's. I'm using Eclipse and notepad++ but if they aren't available on linux I can use something else ofc
What distro should I start with? Ubuntu? Mint? Arch? (please no gentooo)
I was told any distro is fine for my needs, is that true?
>>51225320
Gentoo.
Ask /flt/, they're usually nicer than /sqt/, but I would recommend you just set up a VM and try out several different distros and go with whichever one you like the best.
>>51225320
Yes, Just use whatever distro you want, any of the ubuntu flavours are usually recommend for newcomers.

I have a hotmail mail account that I use for registering on sites to avoid spam etc, so no personal information. Today I got the message from microsoft that another person might have accessed said mail account. I had to make a new password etc. After that I checked my recent activity and there were 2 failed login attempts from china near Fuzhou. Going back in the recent activity, I can see that there are multiple login attempts every week, all with the wrong password, all from china.
So my question is: Am I keylogged and the chink is too stupid to find the right password, or is he just trying to brutforce it?

I want to get into OS development, and Linux Kernel development. Where do I start?
I just got a 6700k and according to CPU-Z during a stress test the voltage goes up to 1.45. Surely this is way high for stock speeds (4.0/4.2)? Should I undervolt it?

I barely paid for any app, even for whatssup, it just happens that they renew your account for another year automatically for free if you have attempted not to pay and deleting your account before, which I did twice already, so free whatsup for me.
Yeah I know its just a few cents, but im not paying no matter what.
I've run out of space on my 2TB HDD and need a new hard drive to add to my system. I'm having trouble deciding between getting a 2TB or a 4TB.
One thing that concerns me about getting a 4TB drive is the increased power usage over 2TB. Does anyone have any idea how much extra power a 4TB drive uses over a 2TB one? Also, how much power do hard drives use in general? Is it anything worth worrying about or is it fairly insignificant? My electricity bill is a major factor in my decision.
Anyone recommend me some ear phones for <100 dollarydoos? I dont really give a shit what they look like, as long as they sound alright and stay in my head at the gym.

The time you spent pondering this question could have been used at work to offset the potential cost for 20 years.
>>51226230
So whether I get a 2TB or a 4TB, it's not really going to have any noticable effect on my bills, even running alongside my current 2TB?
>>51226237
Is 8W a lot? It doesn't sound like it (considering my PSU is 650W) but I don't know a great deal about power/electricity.
>>51226248
It's that insignificant?

I bought 4 gb of new RAM for my server build. Mobo manual says modules made from 128 mb chips will/may not work. I have few Kingston 1 gb modules, essentially same as the G. SKill i bought. Mobo gives out QVL but asfar as i checked all 1 gb sticks in it are made of 128 mb chips The major of QVL RAMs are double sided, my Kingston and G.Skill are single sided. Kingston have worked in mobos and are also 1 gb single sided. Whats the worst thing that may happen if i use the new RAM? Standard is DDR2 667.

I remember that some anon posted a link to a website where you could subscribe to a "programming challenge"
Basically once subscribed you would be able to send and receive emails as if you were a kernel developer, they would be sending you exercises to get you into kernel dev slowly. More you do exercises more you will have complicated stuff, and in the end, some of them are stuff for the kernel.

There's a lot of programs, just try them and see if you like them or not.
>I was told any distro is fine for my needs, is that true?
yes, it doesn't matter after all, you'll be able to install the programs you want etc. Don't use arch or gentoo since they need some time to set up. Avoid debian maybe if you don't want to bother including non-free repos and installing the drivers for your wifi.
Ubuntu, mint, fedora... they all are fine. Depends what GUI you prefer.
If you want to try them, install Debian in a VM and install all the DE during the install process.

Anon are you a fucking retard? You never actually try to punch or kick a dog that is trying to get at you. When a dog starts seeing red it doesn't feel pain so when you throw a punch it'll just catch your fist with its jaw. I once got my foot stuck in a German Shepard who was going to town on another dog, now I was wearing working shoes with steel tips so I was perfectly safe but as soon as the Shepard got hold of my foot as I tried to kick it off of the other dog, I felt this almost mechanical pressure on my fucking foot RIGHT THROUGH THE FUCKING STEEL. Grabbed a broom, broke it over the dog's head, NO REACTION. My foot was stuck in there for about a minute, dog refused to let go but at least it meant it wasn't chewing on the other dog.
There's a laptop with an AMD A8 cpu, and raedon card, however how well does amd work with linux? (Specifically arch/debian). I'm not concerned over open vs closed source, however I want to know if its usuable for everyday use (including some games)
I remember back in the day they used to sell a bunch of "PC acceleration" tools, for example http://hare.software.informer.com/ I used for a while when I was a dumb kid and didn't know any better.
I'm curious though, do these programs actually do anything at all, or is it just pure unadulterated lies and horse shit? I mean I know they're not actually effective or advisable, but I'm curious whether they even attempt to do anything that could be construed as helping to speed up your computer.

>>51226932
It's possible that someone is intercepting your connection and handing off a counterfeit instead of the real Google to get your information. This is more likely if you're using a proxy or VPN.
Though I'd say that 90% it's just Avast freaking out because the certificate changed or your clock is set incorrectly, or your browser has an outdated certificate, or any number of legitimate and innocuous reasons. So I wouldn't worry that much about it, just be cautious and I'd avoid logging in for now if you can until you can verify the authenticity of the certificate.
>>51226931
Thankfully no, its teeth didn't manage to pierce the shoe. I was definitely stuck though, it felt like my foot was stuck in some kind of mechanical pincer.
This is really stupid and I don't really understand how I don't know it, but why does software that I've unzipped instead of using and installer not show up on the installed programs list? Isn't the software on the computer in the same way as it would be when using an installer?
>>51226999
Because the installer is what puts the program in that list. Unzipping something only puts the files somewhere, it doesn't change the registry or register the program on the installed list or anything.
>>51227005
Thank you for the quick answer. How difficult is it to do both of those things you mentioned?
>>51227040
Well there's free software out there that can create your own installer, which would probably suffice to get it on the list of installed programs and make an uninstaller and whatnot. I don't see much benefit to doing so, though. I prefer just keeping such programs in a single easy to remember location and just deleting them if I don't need them anymore.

Thank you very much.
>>51227062
If you're using a VPN or proxy and notice someone is trying to forge a certificate, then stop using it. Otherwise just keep an eye on the certificates for secure sites you need to use (usually will show a green bar or icon to verify them that can be clicked to show additional information to verify the identity) as long as the certificate is valid then you can pretty much rest assured that the page being sent is valid and nobody is intercepting the connection.
>>51227076
I'm disconnected from the VPN now.

Is there anyway to authenticate or renew the certificate for Google?

Let's say that you're downloading something, and you wish to increase the speed of your download by rerouting other sources of bandwidth towards the specific download. Is there any type of software or setting that can allow me to do this?

>>51227164
Indulge in and create art, and don't discriminate by medium. Indulge in literature, film, music, vidya, painting, sculpting, etcetera.
>>51227160
What do you mean by "sources of bandwidth"? You mean piggybacking multiple ISPs into a single transaction, for example tethering off your phone or something? I guess in theory it would be possible, but it'd be easier to just download part of the file on your computer and the other part on your phone and try to meet up in the middle somehow (though might be a bit tricky to manage, but easier than trying to combine them into a single input pipe somehow)
If you just mean throttling all the other shit your computer is doing so your download will go as fast as possible off a single ISP, that should be easily enough to do manually. Most background processes don't consume a hell of a lot of bandwidth, if you're torrenting or have Steam doing background downloads then pause them.

Is there an easy way to clean a microfiber cloth well enough that it will wipe off smudges as well as it did when it was new?
Lately my tendency has been to just buy bulk packs of them and throw them out after a week or so, since after about that long they just don't do a good job of wiping my glasses any more... It does feel wasteful to just throw them away though, even if they're not all that expensive.
>>51227201
These clothes smudge my glasses more than they clean them.
I usually just rinse them under flowing water.
I have this old pc and I have no idea what to do with it, it is a Pentium 4
>>51227216
In the past I'd clean them in the sink with a small pinch of detergent, then make a makeshift clothesline with some dental floss strung up between my bed and desk to dry them. It worked ok, but it seems easier and more effective to just buy new ones when they get dirty.
It seems to me like they clean really well the first few days but then quickly lose effectiveness as they absorb oils from my hand or glasses. It helps to only touch one side of it and use the other to wipe the glasses, so you're not wiping on the side your hand touched.
Also some cloths seem to wipe better than others. http://www.amazon.com/MagicFiber-Microfiber-Cleaning-Screens-Glasses/dp/B0050R67U0/ are my current favorites, a 30 pack of these will usually last me from 8 months to a year depending on how often I rotate them out. (Usually I have one for my glasses, one for my computer monitor/phone/other various screens, one for my tablet that sits near my bed, and when I open a new one I just move each one down the line and then toss the old tablet one in the trash.)

From now on I'll be careful using VPNs and probably won't use incognito mode since it disables Avast in the browser.
So I figured it's cheaper to build a low powered PC for additional storage than buying external drives in the long run.
I have a hp microserver gen8 with winblows 2012 and need additional disk storage. What's the best way to go about it? Build a PC, install winblows server and connect using iSCSI?
>>51227249
I did mean I'm cleaning the glasses under water, not the clothes, sorry.
I'll just rinse them off with some glass cleaner under warm water first, then put the flow on very small and let really hot water flow over the glasses slowly.
The water evaporates on its own and you get no watermark spots.
>>51227282
I've tried that before with cold water but it always left spots. Hot water might work better though I'd worry about damaging the coatings on the lens.
>>51227306
I've done that to multiple glasses over the past 10 years, never damaged them in any way.
Though I admit, I wouldn't do this with someone else glasses, just in case.

If you were sent a thousand years back in time with only your trusty pocket USB stick, could you somehow get all the information off it so you can build your own technological empire and take over the world?

2. make a microscope and literally optically view and copy the bits
>>51227420
3. it's simple enough to translate ASCII bits into text by hand, even if you don't remember it it would take little time to shift through until you at least get a-z correct
now i've only actually read about people doing this with mask rom, so i don't know if the same can be done with flash rom, but if it can this would be much easier than trying to interface with the drive 'conventionally' (via USB)
>>51227452
Don't you need an electron microscope to get near the resolution required?
>>51227468
probably, but considering they've been around much longer than high-speed digital electronics, you'll probably have an easier time making one of those than getting to the point of reading a usb drive normally
>>51227500
as a funny side note, the controller in your flash drive would literally be the fastest computer to exist for hundreds of years
>>51227500
Yeah, I kind of envisioned some kind of weird mechanical appliance with a wire and a pen slowly mimicking the proper signals and transcribing the bits, don't know if such a thing would actually be possible though, not sure how complex the process of actually reading a USB stick is on the computer side.
How good is the i5 4460? Apparently i can push my budget enough to get one over a i3 4160.
>>51227523
afaik, to communicate with usb you'd need the machine to operate at the same/expected frequency (usb 1.1 low speed is 1.5Mbit/s at 1bit since it's serial, even that's 1.5MHz)
maybe you could lower it by changing the clock crystal in the flash drive (if it's not integrated) to something slower, but i'm not sure, and it probably still wouldn't function anything close to "by-hand" speeds
>>51227623
Ah yeah, that's a bit of a stretch for some halfassed mechanical device t hen.
>>51227628
yea, even getting to 100's of Hz for anything mechanical would be getting tricky, 1,500,000Hz is solid-state-electronics-tier speeds for sure
Who is Lennart Pottering and why is SystemD bad? What about his other programs?
I have a stupid question.
I bought a Samson Q7 Microphone about a year ago and a USB cord to go with it, but whenever I record it with windows, there's very noticeable noise/static.
I understand how to remove that easily with Audacity, but what about for games and skype calls? I tried getting this program called Mumble (which is similar to teamspeak i think), and when I was testing the levels in the setup wizard, it was perfect and there was no noise, but it says some shit about connecting to a server before I can record, so I doubt I can use it for games/skype.
By the way, I'm sure you know already, but I'm a massive newfag, sorry.

It's a laptop, by the way.

What is a source based Linux distribution?
If I had two HDDs and had Linux on one and windows on the other would the windows HDD be able to read the Linux one unless I had it encrypted?
>>51228041
no, windows can't read the ext4 filesystem or most other filesystems linux uses
>>51228003
It's a Linux distribution that mostly compiles software from the source code, instead of just installing pre-compiled binaries.
Compiling is a pretty CPU-intensive and often long task, but allows for better compiler optimisations and more advanced configuration, up to just excluding entire chunks of code that govern features you don't want.
>>51228003
>source based Linux distribution
It's not defined specifically I don't think.
What I understand from it is that as much as possible is distributed as source and compiled locally.
Sorcerer Linux installs a small iso on your system, downloads all the latest sources, recompiles and then installs the locally compiled binaries.
>>51227245
sell it or use it as a server, maybe give it to a friend / parents with linux installed on it.
>>51227699
Gnome is trash.
>>51227899

>>51228041
windows can't read ext4. If you don't want to duplicate your files and access them from windows and linux, you'll have to set up a partition in NTFS where you put all your files.

I've had my computer for two years now, and ever since I first built it, my computer has always froze randomly and requires me to restart it by holding down the power button.
Mouse and keyboard will just stop responding, and if there's a sound playing it'll just repeat indefinitely. No error messages, nothing in the event viewer (besides some kernel power related issue which im guessing is just from turning the power off without shutting down properly).
I really need help guys, I want to solve this so it's not constantly playing on my mind. I don't even know where to start looking, after constantly googling it seems as if everything is a suspect.
My friend keeps telling me to reapply thermal paste, and I know I should however the computer will crash even when it's idle.
I've RMA'd my PSU, RAM and they've just returned it to me claiming there were no errors.

>>51228773
>Mouse and keyboard will just stop responding, and if there's a sound playing it'll just repeat indefinitely.
I had the same problem with a 2500k and asus p8z68-v
I ran memtest86+ a few times (which also froze, but only after 13+ successful tests) so I assumed it was either a cpu or mobo issue, and because there was a lack of z68/z75/z77 mobos at an affordable price I just bought a new cpu + mobo + ram as I went for ddr4
if you have the option, either try a different mobo or a different cpu and that should narrow it down to either a cpu or mobo specific issue, it could still be a memory/psu issue but memtest86+ should rule out memory (if you do it properly, I didn't do the strictest anal tests but I also didn't want to spend over a day doing it)
fwiw I did overclock but I never ran it on an absurdly high voltages (afaik I didn't go above 1.25v for instance) or temps and it was very infrequent, maybe a dozen times for less than a day each time
Is it true that cooks at restaurants will often spit or piss in a customer's food if they don't like them or are having a bad day?

So I'm a semi-poor fag and wants an upgrade to my 7+ year old computer. Due to not having limitless funds I'd like to try and save a few parts from my old computer. Namely my PC Tower, my CPU Cooler, and Power Supply. To try and shave off some money.

>Corsair TX650W Power Supply
>Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
and
>Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Now I went to logicalincrements.com and to pcpartpicker.com to see what I could do. I aimed for "Superb" on the logical site and went to pcpicker to try and set up things to see if things would work. Unfortunately there were some odd questions at the bottom of the list

On my desktop I'm running linux and windows on separate hard drives.
Recently Windows has just begun turning itself off on it's own after 30 minutes to an hour. It happened in Skype after about 15 minutes of talking then in a video game after about 5 minutes.
No blue screen or anything just straight power loss. No issues in linux it'll run for hours.
I'm thinking it's the hard drive as it's a recycle from an old University computer but all the checks I have run on it say it's perfectly healthy.
Any ideas?

Do I need a low power PC, or will some sort of networked sata hub do the trick?
>>51231288
don't use raid 5, the problem with raid 5 is that by the time one disk starts failing they all tend to fail so if you don't replace the disk immediately you risk losing the data for good, or what tends to happen is another disk will fail while rebuilding the array
you could raid 6, but a better option would just be to raid 1+0 and accept that you're going to lose a shit ton of data in exchange for decent redundancy

I'm talking about a computer, running Windows 10. The audio managers (both the built-in Realtek software and my mobo's Asus software) don't allow for a 2.1 setup, just quadraphonic, 2.0, 5.1, and 7.1. In order for anything to play through the sub, I need to have 5.1 or 7.1. Then I need to swap the centre and sub outputs in the software, since otherwise my sub will play the sounds meant for the centre speaker, which would defeat the point of having a dedicated sub at all. But once I do this, the centre sounds have nowhere to go, and I end up with a lot of missing audio in games and otherwise. But since the sub and centre outputs are combined into one plug, I can't really see any way of fixing this other than some kind of software that completely lets you modify what sounds go where.
