Because the drive would habe to spin up in the first place and I want to save spin up/down cycles.

Hi, I am trying to enable the PUIS feature on my computer, such that my HDDs, which I rarely access do not spin up at boot, but rather later on, if so desired. My HDD (Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001) seems to support PUIS. When enabled via `hdparm -s`, it won't spin up when * The SATA port is disabled in the BIOS * The SATA cable is disconnected and I connect the power cable My Mainboard (GA-Z87X-UD3H) seems not to support this. * The HDD will spin up at the "beep" when booting * When I disable the corresponding SATA port in the bios, the device seems not to be available to my OS I am running Ubuntu 16.04 Has anyone any idea, how I can make this work in my current configuration? If not, what current/next generation mainboards would support this? Or what should I look for, when buying a new mainboard? Thanks, Tom

I had an XFX Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition and it was loud as hell. (As far as i know, the HD 7970 is equivalent to the 280X) What I did to solve this issue, was that I put an Alpenföhn peter 2 cooler on that card. (Note, the card now takes up 5 instead of 2 slots.)

Yes that is the point. The power in the apartment is "crappy". I have an OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W. Back to topic: You mean checking which sockets in the wall correspond to which fuse in the fuse box? All the sockets in my room run on the same fuse (switch). The sockets in the kitchen run on another fuse (switch), but there is some "interference" with my room (as tested by fan ). The bathroom also has it's own fuse and has least interference with my room. Btw the refrigerator and my computer are both located in the same room and running on the same fuse.

Hi, I recently moved into a new apartment and I'm experiencing issues with my power supply. Whenever my refrigerator turns on or off (or I (un)plug a fan), a very loud "click" is triggered in my speakers. I was not quite sure whether this was induced by fluctuations in the power supply or by electromagnetic waves hitting my amplifier I'm currently taking the power for my computer from the bathroom, and so far it seems as if this resolved the issue. But this is by no means a permanent solution. Now that it works from the bathroom, I'm wondering whether this could be resolved by replacing some fuse or by the electrician? Alternatively I would consider buying an USP. Any recommendations? Greetings

Thank you for your answers! The workload that i want (have to) put on them, is indeed realtime rendering using opengl or directx, which is the same kind of workload that a gtx card would handle.

Hello all, does anyone know how the Nvidia Grid K520 (used in Amazon's G2 server instances as far as I know) relate to Geforce GTX GPU's? I mean, which GTX card has roughly the same performance in OpenGL? As it's a Kepler card and has 1536 cores per GPU, I guess, that it might be as powerful as a GTX 770, just with twice as much memory... tomix1024

I think that it is better to learn imperative programming first, not object orientation. So Java, in my opinion would be a good second language, if you want to get intouch with object orientation. If you start with java, you might run into cases where you have to ignore a lot of thinks at first, or use them as blackboxes. In C for example, the only blackbox that you need is printf, in the beginning. Python from this point of view is a very good Language, because you can just "do" things, without having to understand classes and without having to care about a lot of other things..

1 month is still enough. we have a programming lecture (two weeks, 1.5 hours lecturing, up to 4 hours practicing) where almost all (important) facets of the c language are covered. anyway the focus won't be on programming but on theory.

Hi, has anyone in here considered or tried to mount an alpenföhn peter 2 on a gtx 980 ti?

Being a 'Programmer' is quite unspecific in my opinion. Being able to write code ist just like a tool that can be used to do other stuff.. Writing webpages in PHP/HTML and so on is veery different from being someone that works on compiler optimization or what so ever... At my university there are only courses where you learn the very basics in c/java if you want to write more complicated stuff that utilize like the latest features of c++14 you have to learn that on your own..

i just visited the dell homepage to checout the exact differences... one that i remembered was, that the developer edition has 8gb ram instead of 4gb, but now, they all have 8gb of ram and a 256gb ssd... some have a different cpu and a different display (qhd+ or so). but to me, 8gb are definitively enough. if i compile a large c++ programm with 4 cpu's on my tower pc, my system uses a little more than 4gb of ram. if you need more ram, you would probably need a stronger cpu as well. the fact that the ram is soldered would only bother me when the ram would fail so currently the only benefit of the developer edition comared to the normal editions would be (as i see it) that it costs a little bit less.. if you need a huge hdd, that won't fit in there but it has an m.2 ssd. these are known to (be able to) be extremely fast (sometimes like 1gb/s write speed or so). the largest one that i could find can hold 512gb.

If you really insist on storing images in databases, i would use a blob datatype in the table INSERT INTO table (image_data) VALUES (x'0123456789abcdef...'); where the string is the image encoded as hex string. What I would recommend you, is to have a table that holds a list of stored image id's and filenames (if you still want to manage them with a database), and the actual image stored on disk.

if you are going for a 13" laptop you might want to have a look at the developer edition of the dell xps 13
