You say that and link Fallout Boy 

OH YES! (btw there used to be auto embed, how do i embed now)

Do you have patafix, or something along the lines of it. just a really strong glue. otherwise, nails are always an option

disturbing lack of good music here

Well Xeon have lower clock usually and can't be OCed.

For gaming it's better to have higher clock + ability to OC it.

 

But for video editing, Xeon might be the best solution.

Again it depends on what CPUs exactly you are comparing.

 

Try using CPUboss and see results in differend types of workloads.

CPUBoss is a really superficial way to compare hardware... in many ways its better to ask around and get qualitative answers than relying on cpuboss

no

last I recall they put Tegra in some cars - what he means that SoCs they built won't end up in phones or tablets

Exactly. Cant wait to see what they can do with denver+ in a more relaxed TDP environment.

They didnt say no more Tegra. they said no more mobile SoCs. IIRC this was said in context with the Tegra/Pascal chips for automotive. NV will keep making Tegras, but will not restrict them to 5W, but rather make them better, and use them in stuff like Shields, car systems, etc.

@jameshumphries47 your original code was good, you just forgot to enclose egg in quotes, as you want a string, not an object

This is my solution:

 

word = input("Please enter a word:")
length = len(word)
if length % 2 == 0:
	midpoint = length // 2 
	output = word[:midpoint] + "egg" + word[midpoint:]
else:
	midpoint = int(length / 2 - 0.5)
	output = word[:midpoint] + "ga" + word[midpoint] + "ga" + word[midpoint+1:]

print(output)

 

its not nice to just give out the whole solution, doesnt help him learn. but yes, that is how one would do that. a nice oneliner would be

return word[:len(word)//2 - 1] + "egg" + word[len(word)//2:] if len(word) % 2 == 0 else word[:len(word)//2] + "ga" + word[len(word)//2:len(word)//2 + 1] + "ga" + word[len(word)//2 + 1:]

Go on my new topic

Ive said all i had to say anyway, just replied to @Sintezza

Overclocked?

 

nope.

Pretty sure it would struggle with it on stock, if you put some lasting load on

yes he is one story house and i am doing the same thing but i am on 2 circuit but seems to work 

welp its above me then. usually when powerline doesnt work its because its on 2 different circuits.

Hi guys 

My cousin bought a new computer and he has setup internet over power adapters because he does not have a wireless USB adapter. The internet over power works on his old computer but when he connects the cable to his new computer it does not work any ideas on how to get it working.

 

Thanks 

is he on the same circuit?

ive tried like this, but its invalid syntax

word = word int([:len(word)/2]) + egg + word int([(len(word)/2) + 1:])

as you can tell python is not my strong point.

word[:int(len(word)/2)] would be the syntax

5 minutes ago, jameshumphries47 said:

i now have it like this

word[:len(word)/2] + egg + word[(len(word)/2) + 1:]

word[:len(word)/2] + egg + word[(len(word)/2) + 1:]

and it still throws that error

ok now im cofused. try wrapping the slice indeces in the int() function or using the integer division //

2 minutes ago, jameshumphries47 said:

i have tried the code that you gave me and i dont want it in a function so i did it like this 

word= input("Please enter a word.")
if len(word) % 2 == 0:
    word = word[:len(word)/2] + egg + word[len(word)/2+1:]
    print("word")
else:
    print("odd")

but im getting the following error

TypeError: slice indices must be integers or None or have an __index__ method

even when i run your code and put it in a function?

Try " + egg + word[(len(word)/2) + 1:]"
i dont remember how python does maths priority, but it may be trying to resolve that into len/3 which would result in a double, not an int

OK. Thx

No problem

If it isn't on their CPU support list it won't work?!

not necessarily, usually it does nevertheless. but its better to google something like [your cpu] + [mobo you want] and see if people had any problems

2 minutes ago, PCGuy_5960 said:

But the Xeon isn't going to be a complete sh!t when it comes to games right?

oh no, definitely not. Imagine it like having a slighltly slower i5, like for example the 4570 or what the entry haswell i5 was. still perfectly capable of gaming fine.

Also with the xeon, its good to check whether the mobo youre buying will support it. some need bios updates, and some dont support at all. (and do make sure its working before you buy it)

Keep in mind that for that Xeon you'd have to buy a 2011-3 mb.

And no, xeons are not meant to be OCed (though via FSB it can be OCed by a little)

yes but the difference between prices is 80$. if he has to buy a mobo in any case, the E5 will be a better bet. 
 

@OP if you will only game, get the i5. if you do any other compute intensive things, get the Xeon

if len(word) % 2 == 0:
	return word[:len(word)/2] + egg + word[len(word)/2+1:]
else:
	#figure this out yourself :P

basically python strings are very nice to work with, and slicing them is super nice. read up on substrings

Here is a nice summary of how slicing in python works, also has a link to the extensive documentation

If you can buy a 5820K... (or 6800K)

that would mean replacing mobo and ram as well. 500£ wont do

@OP your best course of action is either getting a 4790k, or saving up a bit, and going for the 5820k, but im almost certain it wont provide a tangible benefit over a 4790k. Or you could first overclock your i5, if its at stock

I personally try to stay away from cheap AIO coolers, get a 212 evo or a be quiet dark rock 3

1 minute ago, XEPICMADDNESSX said:

212 evo doesn't fit in the case without rubbing on glass panel

Would a 212 Evo even manage to cool the 140W the 5820k chucks out?

who bothers with IPhones?

iPhones are great. regular updates, apps usually have more functionality on iOS, the design is imho amazing, iOS is a much better OS than Android, especially regarding power usage and memory management, i could go on... 
the downside is of course the price, but then again, they are no more expensive than the Galaxy S7 or the G5 or the HTC 10 so...

Personally I wish both companies would cooperate more. And btw, I have a 7970

Thats like saying it would be nice if Samsung and Apple cooperated. Not going to happen. Not in the companies interest. And even if it were, there are laws against monopolies that cooperation would break...

Fanboy?

Person with a brain. last gen was on 28nm, with a 4 year old architecture. We saw NVIDIA work wonders last year on an old process. i dont see why AMD couldnt work wonders on a new process and an arch 4 years in development. 
If anyone is a fanboy its you
