Rebooted my PC today and it won't start up normally. I got it working in safe mode but when booting normally it just freezes on a black screen after the initial start up graphic shows.

New at C++, maybe I'm just retarded. I'm basically trying to pick a random item from an array, remove it, and replace the empty hole with the last item in the array. It seems to draw alright but at the same time when I later use a print method it still shows an empty spot where the element used to be. For instance, if I put a, b, b, and c in the bag, it draws the first b but then the print is [a, b, ].

I have a 150gb velociraptor and a 300gb velociraptor.

Could I make 3 150gb partitions and raid them so I don't lose a third of my hdd capacity?
So instead of 300+150=300
I want 150+150+150=450
I understand it'll still perform like 2 drives in raid 0, not 3 drives, but that's not as important to me, i just don't want to lose 150gb.

Partions are not raided.

If I understand you correctly, I'm trying to find an integer between 0 and numObjects, the number of items in the array. This did help me realize that the while loop is pointless though because it'll always grab a number in bounds like this.
>>52910653
Yeah and I expect mine to have empty spaces, I was just trying to copy the last item to the empty spot and then remove the original last item. My example might have been bad but basically what I want to do is:
Array has [a, b, b, c], Draws "a", Array should now be [c, b, b].
It doesn't need to be ordered, but I was trying to not have gaps of no items.

You take multiple physical hard drives and have them act as one disk. Most forms of raid of come with redundancy and parity.

Making 3 partions on a single hard drive, is not a raid.You can make logical partions but thats about it

Posted in last thread, but never got a response. Is it too stupid?

So my dad got fed up with AT&T and stopped paying them before his contract expired, and switched to a burner. He gave me the galaxy s5 he bought from AT&T and I want to unlock it and put it on a Boost mobile prepaid plan. Is there a way to unlock it without having to pay one of these sketchy online websites? Looking at AT&Ts conditions, they won't unlock it for me since he never paid his last bill and owes them more than the phone is worth.
It's a pretty good phone, and I'm poor as fuck so I don't want to have to buy a cheap ass phone from Boost.

No, I won't do that. I won't sign up for a contract like that, and I may have trouble paying sometimes and would rather not be subject to bullshit fees.

I want to set them up in raid 0 so it's 1 partition. That would mean it would read the 300gb hard drive as a 150gb because of the raid 0.

That entirely depends on your preference. Emacs and Vim are about typing efficiency, they have nothing to do with programming. I can't speak for Emacs, but I can say that for the first week or two you'll hate the fuck out of Vim. Afterwards, though, your typing and editing speed will increase noticeably. Only do it if you really, really like keyboard navigation and hate cursors. I recommend gVim, command-line Vim is for elitist faggots.

Just make sure to push yourself through the learning stage before you make a final decision about Vim.

Sorry anon, I was typing a response then the thread 404'd. I hope this finds you.

desu I didn't really know what I was doing. I'm used to gnu systems. Hardware wise, everything seemed to work. I started setting it up and then realized that what I wanted to do with it would be significantly easier with xubuntu. So I installed xubuntu and called it a day.

The one thing I disliked about it was that the touch screen needs proprietary drivers (that are super out of date) because the touch screen hardware is like 30 years old and that it emulates mouse input instead of touch input. The upside was that it literally just worked with everything, but it meant that touch gestures were nonexistent.

It's pretty slow by modern standards and if you swap the HDD, be careful to make sure the ribbon cable is properly insulated. It took me like two weeks to figure out that the HDD cable was causing mouse interference and parts for this thing are not easy to come by nor are they cheap.

Also, I never got the 3G card to work (maybe because it was cingular? idk), nor either camera. It may have just been my device or it may have been the fact that those things just don't work outside XP.

A RAID is a physical array of disks, that forms a single logical disk.

Partitioning is just logically separating a disk.

You can't form a RAID out of logical partitions, it's not a RAIP.

I would if I knew where to start only. I have Adobe Reader 10, it seems to be fine if I change the pdf settings to "lowest filesize possible" but I can't be arsed to do that everything I want to save something because I save a lot of different stuff at the same time and I need no downtime.

Well, that's probably your problem. If it's a company computer then submit a ticket to IT to fix. If they don't fix it or say there is nothing to fix, then it is not your problem. If it's your personal computer then you can start by updating your software.

But also, why not just use your company's program instead?
>>
>>52914493
it's actually common practice to create a software raid out of partitions

the basic use case is so the disk/partition can be recognized as such by other software, that is, the disk won't appear unformatted, and the partition can be of an appropriate type

here's one my raid disks for example (GPT partition table printout)
Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name                 Flags
5 1049kB 2097kB 1049kB BIOS boot partition bios_grub
1 2097kB 2000GB 2000GB Linux RAID raid
>>
>>52914493
Something like >>52910634?

I wouldn't do it personally because I only want some data to die when HDD dies, but he wants to, that's a use case.
>>
>>52914493
I can't think of a use case for raiding partitions on the same disk, but you could for example only raid half the disk with another, and have the other half unraided.

It prints different stuff, I can't say because it's related to finance.

Does Mediafire Pro (the $5/month plan) allow you to distribute files to as many people as you like without anything getting in the way? Legal stuff of course. I'm trying to figure out the most accessible way to make large files available for download and torrents are a bit unfamiliar or inconvenient to some people who maybe aren't into computers.

Perhaps you need to reevaluate how you use the computer then. Adobe Reader does not allow you to print to PDF. Acrobat does. And if you have acrobat then you can just edit out all of the other pages in the PDF anyway. Or you can just copy paste the relevant parts to a word document.

Why are you opening PDFs in your internet browser?

Also, "it's" is a contraction of the words "it" and "is". The possessive from of "it" is "its".

So I am doing a computer science degree in 20 days and I was wondering what is the best decision for majors:


>Comp science with

or

>Comp science with
cybersecuirty and software development majors

Which one would be best for employment.

The cyber major teaches you forensics and anti-hacking skills while the other option is a full programming education where you learn multiple languages and then all of the software development education.

What is best?
I like anti hacking but I want to program security software. Programming is not present in the cybersecurity major so would doing option 1 be best if that was the goal?
>>
>>52914726
Debian 8 has all encryption options.

You can use terminal to encrypt to SHA and md5/4.

Depends on what you need. As for mounting, you will need to have it placed into the "/etc/init/init.d or /etc/fstab files to auto mount.

You need to have the key placed into the file for auto mounting.

Besides the higher upfront cost of $200, I'd have to run it off my own internet connection which only has 20 megabits up, which I need to use myself sometimes. That, or I could send it somewhere in which case I'd pay a decent bit of money for them to store it there which kind of defeats the purpose of buying it.

I don't need a massive amount of storage space, but I do need to allow a decent number of people to download things. So it's more bandwidth intensive than anything. If this was just a local thing, that would make more sense. I do like the idea of having full control, but it's overkill for this purpose.

Is the performance difference between Haswell and Skylake negligible as many say?
Is 3.2 GHz QuadCore enough these days? (i5-6500)
What do I have to have in mind if I plan on overclocking? (Naturally not with CPU mentioned above but say with i5-4690K)
Is it worth investing in SSD? I mean if all I get is faster bootup I don't really need it.
What about the RAM frequency? Is faster freq necessarily better?

I am anon and I have a question. I live in trumpland, and I'd like to go to college for something tech related. I'm young, but I've been out of high school for a few years now. Cheap would be great, because I can't get financial aid because my parents are middle class. Military is probably not an option, because I am a literal NEET weakling.

Last time I looked into a cheap tech program, I got denied because I wasn't poor enough. It was pretty depressing.

It should work, but I would be worried about whether you have enough power. There has to have been a reason why it came with two.

Just self study, if you can't afford it.
Take care also, because going to some cheap american college is silly. Avoid shitty for profits as much as possible, if you don't like getting fucked.

Well, it depends. A cheaper device is potentially more likely to use cheapo parts that break though.

Python is a good easy language for begginers. You'll probably find millions of resources on it. Shitty "learn to program for dummis/in 7 days etc." are shite though. Look up book reviews, try and find a good one. Learning from a good book is the best way to learn.

Python is easy to start, but don't be scared to move onto something else. Java and C# are very similar and easy to switch from one to the other, and make you very employable if you get competent. Memers will say to start with C but it's just a meme. C is a dead language.

Also, being competent with linux is a very valuable skill. All languages other than msft langs are linux first, and can be a pain to use on windows, especially if you aren't familiar with how linux generally works.

See if there is any way you can switch the user, like pressing cancel or something, hoping it will display more users.
Try leaving the password blank or entering guest as the name.

If nothing helps, use a Windows 8 recovery disk, or re-install Windows 8 entirely. Or install Gentoo.

Serious question, can computer scientists work in the Hardware industry?

I'll assume your class Plate has the method getY.

If you want to use it in MedieArkiv, there are a few noob mistakes you can make.
1. you cannot just call getY(). You either have to create an object of Plate and call getY from it, like this: Plate p = new Plate();
and then call p.getY();
Or you declared getY as a static method, that means a class method that you can call without creating an object, then you would call it like this
Plate.getY() without creating an object first

2. the method has to be public, not private, package or protected.

3. "One class creates objects, the other class puts them in an arraylist" I don't think this makes a whole lot of sense. But good luck.
