This stuff is addicting

1GHz Celeron. The clock speed on these chips is printed on the top.
 
1000/128/100/1.75v means:
 
1000MHz clock speed
128KB L2 cache
100Mhz FSB
1.75v core voltage
 
On the bottom there's the name of the chip and the SKU (Celeron and SL5XT, which you can key into cpuworld or intel ark.)

Argh! a Celeron! Kill it with fire!

I can't believe is been 14 years since I last did any Folding.. ?
 
Back then it took me months and the use of several PCs to get to 562k points.. now my GPU alone can do that in a day..

tl;dr: How is living and studying in the Netherlands for a Norwegian?
 
I'm currently in the last year of Norwegian high school, and I'm looking at things to study, and where to study. The Aerospace Engineering bachelor at TUDelft seems interesting. I'm interested in and decently good at physics and maths (at least I think so?), and in tech in general, so this seems like something I could study. Now, obviously never having studied in the Netherlands before, I'm curious about how it is living and studying there, and specifically in Delft.
What I have found so far about the Netherlands:
The Dutch are good at English There's a good public transport system Larger cities are fairly easy to get to There are bikes everywhere There are lots of international students, especially in Delft  High standard of living The people can be a bit blunt in the way they talk about different subjects The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has classified the risk of terror in the Netherlands as "substantial" The cost of living is lower than in my home town How important is it to know Dutch? Not just for the communication, but also for social stuff? In case it's important to learn, how hard is it to learn, compared to German (I have taken German classes at school)? 
How do people feel about just living in the Netherlands, and Delft in particular? And studying there? Like, in general, and not just by what the numbers can tell. 
 
I haven't applied yet, and I've still got some time to check out other places and studies. Any suggestions for those are also appreciated (as I have doubts as to whether or not I'll get accepted to Aerospace at TUDelft). Doesn't have to be in the Netherlands. 
 
Thanks
 
(yes, I could find a forum for this kind of stuff, but I can't be bothered to do that just yet. Maybe later)

Hi, I'm Dutch and recently graduated so I'll try to give somewhat of an impression. I haven't studied in Delft myself, but in Groningen. One of the first things you must know about living in the Netherlands for international students is that it's really hard to find an accommodation. All cities having universities are having difficulties with accommodations for students and international ones in particular. As an example, I've heard that employees of the University of Groningen were asked if they could house international students for a while because there is a massive shortage. Plus, if you do find one expect to pay a high price as people will charge a lot. I'd say around 300-400 euro's a month for a 10-15m2 room is considered normal/cheap, depending on the house and location, I'm not sure about prices in Delft. Also be carefull when looking for an accommodation, there are various websites that are made for scamming you. You have to pay, say 1000 euros upfront, and when you arrive there isn't a room. Websites that are good are; https://kamernet.nl/, https://www.funda.nl/. 
It will help a lot if you already know someone in Delft who can help you.
 
That being said. The things you list are all true. You will get a bike and you'll find out the people can be blunt. Transport in cities having universities is great and also the intercity transport is good, though expensive (not sure about discounts for international students, you should look into that). I'd say it's not important for you to learn Dutch beforehand. As you say, almost all people in the Netherlands speak English and the study itself will of course be in English. Some German words are very similair to Dutch words, though. From what I've heard Delft is a nice place to study. I'd recommend finding a study/sport association which is a great way to connect to other students. 
 
If you have any more questions, just ask  
 
(great choice on Aerospace Engineering btw)

put it in an MRI scanner to brick the hdd and then fry the rest by running 300 kV through it

if you have to ask your parents for permission to play a game, she is probably right about you being too young to play it.

I believe you are cursed. *Throws holy water at you*. I had my m-atx MSI motherboard for 4 years, even with some coke spilled over it, and its now sitting in my brothers PC  I am currently using a Z270 Tomahawk, hoping it will last just as long  

I made this script a while ago. it rewrites number to the scientific notation (like 5,43*10^5).
The language is AutoIt3
 

$in1 = InputBox("Input","Enter a number you want to rewrite","Enter number") $out1 = $in1 $out2 = 0 $repeat = True While $repeat     $repeat = False    If $out1==0 Then        MsgBox(0,"error","can't be 0")    Elseif $out1>=10 Then        $out1 = $out1/10        $out2 = $out2+1        $repeat = True    Elseif $out1<=1 Then        $out1 = $out1*10        $out2 = $out2-1        $repeat = True     Else        MsgBox(0, "New number", $out1 & "*10^" & $out2)    EndIf WEnd

When you tried your friend's PSU did you use the cables included with his/her PSU?
 
PSUs are implemented differently by different manufacturers, yes they are the same connector but they are usually wired differently.

I personally started with python, it's quite simple but once you get a hang of it, it can do a lot of things. maybe start by reading a tutorial (maybe instructables has something) but don't just read, try the code they give as an example yourself. then start making small changes. for example:
//the tutorial says: print("hello world") //then you can add a bit of code you learn later on and try to combine the two. variable=input() if "y" in variable: print("your input contained the character y") else: print("your input did not contain the character y") //and so on. this way you can make the examples do things you like more. this way you will enjoy programming more and you will learn what //goes where in a piece of code (to any real python programmers here, my python is not perfect I know ^^' )
 
at least, that's how I did it, or happen to do it. there are so many ways to learn programming. but the most important thing is that you enjoy it. I hope it was somewhat helpful

well, 30$-40$ for a GTX560TI Twin Frozr second hand. then you have about 90$-100$ left for a psu. I think 500Watt is more than enough for your build. should be possible

I think it would be good to have RGB's own forum place, because RGB!!!!!!!

ah, but then there one more thing. if you have the collector hooked up to 5V DC and the base to the 12V PWM signal from the fan, you'll get a constant 5V with 12V spikes over it. what you'll; need in order to control the brighness of the LEDs is a 5V PWM, since you can't control LED brighness with voltage. also, the bas usually has a lower voltage than the collector. or at least, I believe. maybe someone who has a bit more experience than me with electronics can help. I'll ask around. in the mean time for the arduino project: http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-CPURAM-usage-monitor-LCD/
and you're English is fine, no worries ^^
