  1. I am looking for a powered desktop speaker set with a good subwoofer / bass solution.  Ideally around the $200 mark.  Would like good frequency response where possible, but main goal is solid, powerful bass.  I have headphones when I actually want to enjoy the music. 3.5mm input is ideal but I can drive L/R inputs as well.  What does LTT recommend?

  2. What is the popular monitor these days for playing games (60hz, higher would be nice though) at 1080p with decent picture quality? (not doing any color work, just want games to look nice, so probably not TN)

     

    Been out of the loop for a few years now...

    In Windows its boring but there so much facility like photo manipulation, vectoring, audio creation. word maker

     

    in Linux its impossible, gimp, inkscape is so hard to use. it look obsolete.

     

    i was  trying to use virtualbox but the performance is so bad because i only use i3-5005u.

     

    so, how to make the use of Linux more productive? to do more than browsing n watching movie ??

    for lower performance apps like photo manipulation and word processing, have you considered WINE?  A friend runs microsoft's visualstudio tools using WINE on a Celeron netbook just fine, so performance shouldn't be an issue.

    It seems that lately, 10 out of every five news pieces are about machine learning. During its Financial Analyst Day presentation, AMD talked a lot about going after high-margin, fast-growing markets. Machine learning is one of those markets, and AMD has unveiled its first product made specifically for compute performance. Meet the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, meant for "data scientists, immersion engineers, and product designers."

    From the pictures included in the article, we can observe a few key things about this card.  For one, it looks that ~2-8pin PCIe connectors worth of power translates to 13 FP32 TFLOPs.  Wonder how this will compare with Nvidia's new Volta's Tesla processors, which IIRC boast 15 TFLOPs per card (drawing unknown wattage, likely 6+8pin)

    Here are some performance comparisons between Vega and Fury cards:

    This whole list is just satire, don't take it seriously. Although some are true and some aren't. List more below!

    I disagree with 4,5 and more than anything 14

     

    grrrrrrr

     

    and 1.  1 is good measure if you're trying to broker an SSL link on a non defaulting webserver

    I was born in the 2000's. MS-DOS isn't here more, and got replaced by the far more superior Windows NT kernal. I still like some of the DOS games you found, Like Doom and Quake. I play them in DOSBOX, because I was planning to install Windows 98 on one of my Pentium 4 machines (but I don't think it would have worked out, because I don't have any old GPU's for it). I use a laptop with Integrated Graphics, but It can't be that bad. Im using the first version of Quake (not GL). I don't get quite the performance what I expected. I can play the game (already at the fourth episode (normal)) , but I can't help to notice shuttering. When I bump up the resolution to 800x600, you can see the performance hit. Is this because DOS-Box limits the performance, or is the emulation scene just not good for DOS. Did the original Quake just run that way? I play at 640x400. I use Windows 10 (32-Bit), and the latest DOS-Box version.

    this is a question likely best answered by the people over at http://www.vogons.org

    New, probably means new IP address. So every time you jump on TOR, you probably are registered as a new PC. Unless the IP you are being recognized as has been on the site previously.

    IP based system would mean anyone on behind a NAT with an approved IP would get porn access.  The wording of the law says the $20 charge only lifts the ban on one device, so this would have to be hardware or OS based

    This, so many problems because of this.

     

    We seriously need an age limit and education requirements on public servants (which is what "politicians" are supposed to be).

     

    Also, some sort of morality test would be nice.

    education requirement primarily; too many dense fuckers in congress (just look at crypto discussions like these: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/12/21/encryption_vital_to_us_interests/)

    we americans love our porn, and even more so when we dont have to pay for it.

    Especially since South Carolina is third highest in porn consumption...

    Dafuq has this got to do with human trafficking? You mean people who watch porn are human traffickers?

    No confidence in your own people?

     

    Doesn't the idiot who came up with this know we can just reinstall vanilla Windows?

    because "human trafficking" sounds more flashy and important
