Laptops use ni-cad batteries, right?

I've had people try to argue that: you need to let lithium batteries drain fully because it's good for them
macs are good
AMD's processors are faster because they have more GHz
You need a 750 watt PSU for a single graphics card
seagate hard drives are unreliable
western digital hard drives are unreliable
80+ platinum power supplies are worth it in Ontario (6 cents per KWH here)
the Asrock extreme4 is a good motherboard lol

I have some Noctuas and they are more than tolerable at full speed. I have them on a fan controller and they are extremely quiet at 75% or less of their max speed and they are almost silent at the lowest speed I can set them. They do make a very slight buzzing noise when you overvolt them, but this is not audible if your ear is more than a foot away from them. This is probably just them vibrating against my case, though.

I finally got my new cooler installed, and got to 4.8GHz. I think I need some new thermal paste; it's running hotter than I would have expected.
 
It's a wind tunnel of noctuas:

I never liked his videos. If I wanted to watch a dick, I'd go on pornhub.

Even thermaltake was slick...

I think this explains it best:

The extreme4 has D-pak MOSFETs. It is terrible if you want to overclock.

Buying a GTX 550 ti I guess. That card was horrendous.

This forum's mostly filled with 16 year olds so I really doubt that'll happen here.
 
how do you quantify sexual attraction?

Nice post, I like that you're trying to explain a concept and various solutions to it while still just helping people out not giving 100% answers but still being informative. The programming section on the forum needs more posts like this and less "finish my CS homework" posts. Keep up the awesome work, and hopefully you'll make some more posts like this for different concepts in the future.

I decided to try implementing my terrible sorting algorithm idea. I couldn't get it to sort more than 7 numbers with a 200 MB stack size. lol
 
edit: I think I figured out how to fix the stack overflow problem with tail recursion. I'll update with results if it works. might take a few hours to sort all 8 numbers though.
 
update: it looks like it works, but sorting an 8 int array seems like it'll take a few days
void shuffle(int *unshuffled, int len){ int shuffled[len]; char mask[len]; for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) mask[i] = 0; for (int j, i = 0; i < len; i++) { do { j = rand() % len; } while(mask[j] != 0); mask[j] = 1; shuffled[j] = unshuffled[i]; } memcpy(unshuffled, shuffled, len * sizeof(int));}/*if length > 2, call crap_sort on both halves of the arrayshuffle the unsorted array aroundif not sorted, call crap_sort*/void crap_sort(int *unsorted, int len){ crap_sort_start: if (len > 2) { int left_len = len/2; crap_sort(unsorted, left_len); crap_sort(unsorted + left_len, len - left_len); } shuffle(unsorted, len); for (int i = 1; i < len; i++) { if (unsorted[i] < unsorted[i - 1]) { goto crap_sort_start; } }}

I don't  think this looks bad...

Reddit's one of those companies that feels like they should police the internet, but do it with their agenda in mind.
 
IMO discussion of illegal activities should be fair game to ban, but banning fat people hate? really? The people on that board were terrible people, but what's banning the board going to do? They'll just go to an unbanned board and shit that place up. You have to ban the people and not the board.
 
  No is hurt by the drawing, except maybe the viewer, but that's his problem. An actual child is being exploited if it's not just a drawing. It's not right to call them the same thing. One is drastically worse than the other.  
 
Also lol

The only sorting algorithms that are actually useful are heap sort, insertion sort, bucket sort and quick sort, AFAIK.
 
For general purpose I think Quick sort which turns into Heap sort after a recursion limit is hit is usually used.
 
Heap sort is good for anything that needs a small memory footprint, since it's in place. Quick sort is O(log(n)) memory because it requires a stack. Merge sort is O(n)  memory I think.
 
Insertion sort is extremely fast on very small sets and sets that are mostly sorted already.
 
Bucket sort is useful on anything where you have a lot of data in a small fixed range, which is very niche. I think your count sort is bucket sort.

how about OVER PRICED
 
Horrible cooling

Why the hell cant one jsut drop music onto an iphone. Have to use itunes. Need i go on?

MUST SEE 

I just taped a bunch of cats together and made software on that
