The G3 from LG is the first phone I've used with a 2560x1440 display. That's a lotta pixels! Not to mention the rest of the top-of-the-range specs!
 


 
Alright, now onto the good stuff. LG is giving us TWENTY FIVE G3's to give away! All you need to do to qualify is post your favourite thing about the G3 from the review above in this thread and you can be selected at random to win one of these phones!
 
Please note that they are retail units (in the video I said pre-production, but this has since been changed) and they are Korean unlocked global units, so you will need to verify if they will work correctly on your carrier! To my knowledge they will work on AT&T or T-Mobile, but I got no data - only get voice and SMS on my carrier (Bell) so YMMV.
 
Either way you can still enter to win one, and you an always use it as a portable gaming device or whatever... I mean, it's a G3 man! The wifi will work! Best of luck to everyone!
 
One entry per household.
 
The giveaway is worldwide and closes July 6th and the winners will be announced on Twitter, so make sure you're following @LinusTech!

Itis the ternary conditional operator.
 
Its very simple in the way it works.
 
In this example:
r = x > y ? i : n; r would gain the value of i.
 
you could also write the above example as a if statement:
if(x>y){ r = i;}else{ r=n;} or:
system.out.println(1>2 ? "No" : "Yes"); would print the string "No"

Put it on or the CPU can overheat.

How-to monitor your temps, etc, and save it to a file.
 
Create a script with the following content(Modify to fit your needs, should be self-explaining ):


#!/bin/bash
LOGPATH="/mnt/some-hdd/some-log-folder"
FILENAME=$LOGPATH/log-$(date +Y-%M-%d--%H-%M-%S)
sensors &> $FILENAME
#If you want to save all the logs from /var/log to a .tar archive, uncomment the line below.(Use with care, logs might get big!)
#tar -cf $FILENAME /var/log/
sync

and save it somewhere. This script saves the output of sensors to a file, named by time & date, and syncs the HDD(Sync forces Linux to write the cache contents to the HDD.)
 
Now do:

sudo crontab -e
and add this line below:


*/5 * * * * /path/to/script

 
This will execute the script every time the minute counter is cleanly dividable through 5(Every 5 minutes).
In the logpath you should see your logs appearing
Feel free to modify the script to do whatever.
 
This should help you debug anymore problems you've got.

i have added all the sources i used at the bottom, a big thanks to whaler for talking to me and helping me for the past month.
 
it ended up costing me about 3000$ and the folding numbers i have been getting so far are.
WU 8103   frame time 11:04    PPD 490k
 
WU 8101   frame time 15:08    PPD 300k 
 
WU 8104   frame time 08:28    PPD 465k
 
WU 8105   frame time 11:04    PPD 460k
 
 
this has been in the making for well over a month, spendt pretty much all that time looking around trying to find parts, the actual assembly and installation process took about a day, i went full out with a g34 board and newer processors, it cost a crapload of money (3000$ to be exact..) but the benefit to this over a 500$ partly pre assembled solution with the lower end hardware is that this is going to live for alot longer(well duh), later on i can just swap out the processors for better ones because the motherboard supports it, it should also be more efficient power to performance wise, not to mention that it is great fun to play around with all this new shiny and amazing hardware .
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The speccs are:
 
CPU: 4x amd opteron 6172 12 core processors.     (bought on ebay)
 
Motherboard: Supermicro H8QGL-IF+                     (also bought from ebay) 
 
PSU: Corsair rm 850W                                             (the rest were ordered from various online stores within norway)
 
CPU cooler: 4x hyper 212 evo
 
Ram: Corsair 6 memory stick kit 1333 mhz cl9 1,5 volt and all that, these sticks look aswesome! to bad they no longer sell them so i could only get 6 of them.
         10x kingston hyperx ram with the same speccs as the corsair ones to fill the remaining slots.
 
Storage: corsair force 128 GB ssd, the ssd was gifted to me for the sake of helping me get it up and running.
a 500 GB Hitachi harddrive.
2x 4TB WD green.
 
 
 
 
 
 First up is the Musky modded 212 evo heatsinks.
 
 

 
the standard mounting bracket, just bend off the black clips at the end, and slide off the screws/springs.
 

 
This is how it looks once you have taken it appart, i kept everything incase i would need it, i got a drawer full of screws and whatnot, il be using the tension springs later when mounting the heatsinks, which later proved to be a not so great solution.. but it worked out.
 
 

 
i took the rails from an old closet, just took out the rails used to hold the drawers and used the ones that seemed like they would fit the best.
 
 

 
cut them to the proper length with an old rusted saw, my arm was about to fall off once i was done .. so was the saw, i came to the conclusion that about 5cm beetwen each screw hole should be sufficient, but i was lucky so i just followed the pattern on the rail.
 
 
This is the finished result.
 

 
 

Update 3
 
 
 
 
 
 
it's now up and running, im sitting here with both windows open atm, it's certainly throwing out more heat than any oven i have ever had, good thing i have so many cats.. so i can only put the windows on a slight tiny tilt... seriously this thing produces alot of heat! il try to cook some eggs on it once im done updating the log, i could always try to boil some noodles aswell. (on a serious note i do defrost my frozen berries in the exhaust of this thing)
 
it booted with no problems at all, just put in the cd and installed ubuntu, the whole process was painless and took about 5 minutes, which is a surprise considering all the things i did to this motherboard in order to be able to mount the heatsinks, im just happy it booted.. .. you guys go oh no! don't put it ontop of the anti static bag!  and don't touch it there! 
now here we are drilling holes and dropping bolts on it ... just trying not to bend it or pierce it with the screw driver this motherboard cost me 1200$. 
 
seriously, props to the peeps over at hardforum, they have already written all the code and scripts for you, so all you have to do is basicly, just download and run it, which is amazing, the install takes 5 minutes instead of 5 hours, honestly anyone can do it, the job is already done for you.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
currently got it plugged into my main monitor, and yes that is vga you see me using on a dell U2412M ips monitor.( only on the 4p folder though), got to switch input in order to check up on the secondary machine.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
oh yes, all dem threads, currently seems like it's using about 11 minutes on each % so i guesstimate that's roughly 17-18 hours ish until completion, and yes i called it mini malossi and i love the name , my main machine is Malossi so it felt like the right thing to call it.
 
 
 
 

 
currently got 32 cpu's in system monitor for whatever reason, atleast it's up and running now this system is still in it's very early infancy so there is a bunch of things i have to look up. 
 
 
 

 On the 8105 unit im pretty much getting stable 460k ppd, think i might be able to get abit more performance out of it.
 
 

 
 
conclusion:
 
honestly the hardest part by far was just finding and being able to buy the parts.. that's what took me over a month, and my purchases were far from ideal... however! if you are made of money the buying process should be pretty straight forward as long as you know what you want.
mounting the heatsinks was also a horrifying gut wrenching experience i never want to have again, when it comes to assembly mounting the heatsinks was by FAR and wide the hardest part, you think you know what to expect, but trust me it's 5 times worse than you think, i was lucky so the setup after assembly was smooth without a hitch, just booted up put in the cd i burned, rebooted, installed and followed hardforums ubuntu guide, they have done all the difficult things for you, you just have to download and run it according to their description, they basicly "guide" you to download their script and run it, full installation was straight forward quick and easy, however buying parts and mounting non native heatsinks is the suck.
 
You could try buying some used parts and using old parts from previous rigs, i guess the motherboard is the hardest component to buy for anything lower than retail price, processors don't have to be THAT expensive and you could land a lucky purchase, grab some ram sticks that are compitable with your machine, then aside from that there really isn't anything special, get a powerfull fairly efficient psu with atleast 2 x 8 pin supplementary cpu power connectors, heatsinks to your liking that will fit the socket of your machine, find an old harddrive somwhere and format it, grab a usb stick or an optical drive depending on which method of installation you prefer, find a couple of old fans and you should be good to go.

this one is for H8QGL motherboards, he also has one for H8QGI which is easier because you have more space beetwen the cpu's, i like this method because it seems to cover the cpu better, i used 212 evo so those can be used aswell.

CHROME.

Can you tell me where exactly Grub fails? Does the Installation Fail, or the Booting after the Install? Ubuntu Versions newer than 12.04.4 don't support PC's without PAE.
If the Setup fails, you can view the Install log on one of the VT. Just press [CTRL]+[ALT]+[F4] (If F4 dons't work, try F2, F3, F5, etc), and post the relevant parts of the Log here. You can go back to the Installer with [CTRL]+[ALT]+[F1].
 
Using Ubuntu 12.04 isn't a bad option either, it works great. I like the LXDE flavored version, Lubuntu.
Mint seems to be great as well, but it seems to use a PAE kernel as well, since mint 13...

the code looks bad, jQuery promotes a coding style that is all about dollar symbols, brackets and anonymous functions

If there's just a red cross, it means that the image doesn't exist and that you're using Internet Explorer. To resolve the 2nd issue, get Firefox or Chrome and you will find they are a lot more web-dev friendly. To resolve the 1st issue, make sure there is an image titled data button.png within images within the directory that your page is in, and you should always escape spaces in a url so it becomes src="images/data%20button.png". This could be your issue, but some browsers just warn you and get on with it. See my other point.

I picked up an Acer C710 chromebook not too long ago. It's an awesome cheap little laptop that can do quite a lot, surprisingly. I was originally going to install Linux on it but found the chromeOS was more than adequate for my needs. 
 
Some inexpensive upgrades I did was swapped out the slow 320GB HDD for a 120GB SSD - boot times went from 20 seconds + down to about 7-8 seconds. Also swapped out the 2GB stick of RAM for a 4GB stick - this helped quite a bit with the more demanding tasks (like running AutoCAD 360 and having a zillion tabs open). 
 
Many people - especially on PC enthusiast sites like this, may talk smack about chromebooks, chromeboxes and chromeOS, but for many people this is all they really need. They have a place on the market and they actually do make a lot of sense. 

You can't really cram 'networking', you need to build your foundation from the ground up.
 
Start with the OSI model and get an understanding of how/why packets traverse through networks the way they do. Learn about Broadcast Domains and Collision Domains and how/why they are different.
 
If you're looking for videos EliTheComputerGuy is great for getting a nice highlevel understanding of subjects. I really like his stuff for that. Once you're ready to delve deeper down into things you'll want to check out CBT Nuggets and other self study methods like using Cisco Packet Tracer or even better buying some older used gear to lab on.

Writing a game is never a good start to programming. Try to learn a language first, not with the intention of writing a game. Get a book about learning C or Java for example, and do some casual programming first. If you're good, you can start coding a game after 2 years+. Even then, if the game should be any good, you should probably get the assets(Sound, graphics, ...) done by someone else.
Even if you're a really good programmer, a game is a __huge__ project, and as a beginner in coding, it's almost impossible.
 
For an easy start, you should learn LUA. You can write mods for a lot of games, you can use it for almost everything. Also, there is the Love2D android port, which of course works on android(With LUA).

Nobody would be able to connect to his game servers.
 
A hardware firewall would be of no use. His line would already be saturated with traffic which would deny any legitimate traffic getting to his services.

@Vitalius should be able to provide some insight on FreeNAS.
 

   

   

As for ZFS, I'm not really too familiar with the CPU you intend
to use, but I can provide some experiences with my own ZFS setup
which you should be able to use as a baseline, then go from there.
I'm currently working on setting up a home server with the following
specs:
CPU: 2 × L5630 Intel Xeon (Westmere, quadcore, hyperthreaded, 2.13 GHz)
RAM: 12 GB ECC (going to acquire more when funds allow)
I'm running the ZSF pools in dedicated virtual machines, each VM
having its own purpose (one for my dad's business stuff, one for
my personal data, and one for our media library).
I'm still working on optimizing my setup, which is why the configs
you see in the screencaps are not always identical (I assigned more
RAM and CPUs to the VMs at different points to see if/how it would
affect performance - it didn't really make a difference, at least
not yet).
These tests are on two of the VMs, both are running RAIDZ2 setups,
one with four disks, the other with six disks.
For these tests, compression was disabled since I was using /dev/zero
as my data source and enabling compression would have serverely
skewed the benchmarks (I'll demonstrate at the end).
Anyway, this is resource utilization on the VM when writing to the
pool:
 
All of these are for a single large file, I also did small-file tests,
but don't have anything presentable on that yet.

This is resource utilization when reading from the pool:

And with 10240 MB or RAM:
Write:

Read:

Got about the same patterns for six disks.
As for the compression thing, I did a later test on that. The actual
CPU utilization is the red part of the bar, they grey part is the CPU
waiting for I/O.
Resource util without compression:

And transfer speed:

And with compression (you can see that it does use quite
a bit of CPU, but not an insane amount):

And you can see that the transfer speed has jumped to almost
one Gigabyte per second. While awesome, not exactly representative
of actual write performance on the disk side):

In any case: This is not the most scientific test ever, but it should
give you some idea of what you could expect if you compare your CPU
to mine. Then you can go from there. I'm still not yet done with doing
my benchmarks and analysing results, which is why I don't really have
a more presentable dataset for you at the moment, sorry. Still, hope
this is of some use at least.

I don't have a woman......

On topic, anyone have an beat on why, and how this happened?

Setting up Virtual Machines (Virtualbox + phpVirtualBox)
Setting up VM's in Debian is a breeze. I will show you how to install Virtualbox and how to create a new VM. Instead of using CLI for the VM setup process, I'll be using phpVirtualBox, a fancy web UI to manage your headless Virtualbox installation.
 
Installing the necessary packages
As per the official Debian installation guide, this is the command used to install Virtualbox on Wheezy:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') virtualbox If you're not running Wheezy yet, check out the official documentation linked above about how to get Virtualbox 4.x running on your installation.
 
The command above will install the appropriate linux-headers and virtualbox at once.
 
If you have trouble installing the linux-headers package, be sure to check out this post.
 
Installing up phpVirtualBox
Because managing your VM's via CLI is way too much work, I use phpVirtualBox to manage my VM's. In order for this to work, you'll need a working web server capable of parsing PHP. If you didn't already, you can follow my instructions to get it set up in no time.
 
First thing to do is to download the necessary source files from SourceForge. If you're on a GUI, this ain't difficult. If you're not, this poses a bit of a challenge, though. SF doesn't really like simple downloads and uses redirects for everything, which makes wgetting not as trivial as it should be. Start by acquiring the direct download link for phpVirtualBox. In order to do that, go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpvirtualbox/, click the big green download button. It will show a page that counts down from five. Ignore the download pop up once the download is ready, instead right click 'direct link' and copy the URL location. With me, it gave:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/phpvirtualbox/phpvirtualbox-4.2-8.zip?r=&ts=1386429922&use_mirror=netcologne but for you it will be different.
 
Once you have that link, SSH into your server and execute
wget <insert link here> and, of course, insert your link instead of just copy-pasting
 
This will give you an awefully named file that starts with 'phpvirtualbox.zip', which we'll be moving and renaming by executing
mkdir /var/www/vboxmv <insert ugly name here> /var/www/vbox/phpvbox.zipcd /var/www/vbox Now you just need to extract the zip and your 'installation' is complete.
unzip phpvbox.ziprm phpvbox.zip After this, you should be able to go to http://192.168.1.150/vbox. It will ask you for your credentials, but don't try to fill those in yet, we still need to configure phpVirtualBox.
 
Configuring phpVirtualBox
Now that the website is working, we need to configure it so that you can log in. Start by creating a fresh config.php file:
cp config.php-example config.phpvim config.php In this file, you'll need to enter a username and a password:
var $username = 'simon';var $password = 'PASSW0RD'; The credentials you set here must be the UNIX credentials of the user that runs vboxwebsrv, in this tutorial this will be your account for simplicity, but it might be best to make a seperate user account for that purpose.
After that, save and  exit the file. Consider setting the permissions so that only you and Apache can read it, as your password will be stored in plain text. The password you set here will only be used to log in to the phpVirtualBox website, it isn't tied to VirtualBox or your VM's in any way.
 
Starting vboxwebsrv
This will start vboxwebsrv, which is a web service of VirtualBox that phpVirtualBox talks to. The $location you can set in config.php of phpVirtualBox points to this service. This means it is possible to have VirtualBox running on one machine and your phpVirtualBox on a completely different machine. We won't be doing that here. Since this service will hook to our terminal when run directly, we will be running it inside a screen session.
Start screen:
screen -S vbox Then, inside that screen, simply run
vboxwebsrv You can detach by pressing Ctrl+a followed by d. You can reattach at any time with
screen -R vbox  
Logging in to phpVirtualBox
You are now ready to log in to phpVirtualBox for the first time. Using your browser, go to http://192.168.1.150/vbox and log in with user admin, password admin.

You'll have to change the boot order in the BIOS and select the other hard drive.

Wait, What, and Why?
So,   yeah,    another   build. Another   server,    to   be
precise. Why? Well, as  nice of  a system  ZEUS is,  it does
have two major shortcomings for its use as a server.
When I  originally conceived ZEUS,  I did not plan  on using
ZFS (since it was not  yet production-ready on Linux at that
point). The  plan was  to use  ZEUS' HDDs  as single  disks,
backing up the  important stuff. In case of  a disk failure,
the loss of  non-backed up data would  have been acceptable,
since it's mostly  media files. As long as  there's an index
of  what  was  on  the  disk,  that  data  could  easily  be
reaquired.
But right  before ZEUS was  done, I  found out that  ZFS was
production-ready on Linux, having kept a bit of an eye on it
since fall  2012 when I dabbled  in FreeBSD and ZFS  for the
first time. Using  FreeBSD on the  server was not  an option
though since I was nowhere near proficient enough with it to
use it for  something that important, so it had  to be Linux
(that's why I didn't originally plan on ZFS).
So,  I deployed  ZFS on  ZEUS,  and it's  been working  very
nicely  so  far. However, that  brought  with  it two  major
drawbacks: Firstly, I was now missing 5 TB of space, since I
had been  tempted by ZFS  to use those for  redundancy, even
for our media files. Secondly, and more importantly, ZEUS is
not an ECC-memory-capable system. The reason this might be a
problem is that  when ZFS verifies the data on  the disks, a
corrupted bit in your RAM  could cause a discrepancy between
the  data in  memory and  the data  on disk,  in which  case
ZFS  would  "correct"  the  data  on  your  disk,  therefore
corrupting it. This  is not exactly optimal  IMO. How severe
the consequences of this would  be in practice is an ongoing
debate in various ZFS  threads I've read. Optimists estimate
that it would merely corrupt  the file(s) with the concerned
corrupt bit(s), pessimists are  afraid it might corrupt your
entire pool.
The main focus of this machine will be:
room to install more disks over time ECC-RAM capable not ridiculously expensive low-maintenance, high reliability and availability (within reason, it's still
a home and small business server)
Modding Instead of some  uber-expensive W/C setup, the  main part of
actually building  this rig will  be in modifying  the PP689
for fitting as many HDDs  as halfway reasonable as neatly as
possible. I have not  yet decided if there  will be painting
and/or sleeving  and/or a window. A window  is unlikely, the
rest depends mostly  on how much time I'll have  in the next
few weeks (this  is not a long-term project, aim  is to have
it done way before HELIOS).
Also, since  costs for this  build should not spiral  out of
control, I will  be trying to reuse as many  scrap and spare
parts I have laying around as possible.
Teaser
More  pics  will  follow  as  parts  arrive  and  the  build
progresses, for now a shot of the case:

That's all for now, thanks for stopping by, and so long.

sell it. new gpu. and dont worry the porn will look just fine on ur nexus 5 as it did on the tablet. 
(y do u guys think i bought a note 3 huehuehue)

The dell venue 8 looks like the better choice. If you find a bit of extra cash down the back of the sofa then the Lenovo Thinkpad 8 looks pretty great too. A 2012 nexus 7 running ubuntu touch might be worth looking at too, not very powerful, but you can get one very very cheaply these days.

Not just that, but the Venue 8 Pro also has a much speedier CPU and faster GPU.  

Setting up personal cloud storage
 
<THIS IS OUT OF DATE, USE OWNCLOUD'S DOCS FOR UP TO DATE INSTRUCTIONS! >
This part will cover how to set up ownCloud, a piece of free, open source software that turns your web server into a cloud storage server. A cloud storage server is basically a server that provides functionality like DropBox. ownCloud is perfect because it is free, runs completely encrypted over SSL and is able to store your data encrypted. I would still opt to put your data on an encrypted device/partition, though. For Debian (and Ubuntu), there is a package available that should install ownCloud for you. I opted to install it manually, though. I follow the official documentation.

Make sure you have a web server capable of providing HTTPS available (you can follow the instructions in previous posts).

The first thing to do is install some packages that are needed by ownCloud to run properly (read: dependencies).
sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-gd php-xml-parser php5-intlsudo apt-get install php5-sqlite php5-mysql smbclient curl libcurl3 php5-curl These are the official dependencies, listed on the ownCloud installation documentation. We already have apache2 and php5 installed, so you can leave those out if you want. You can leave them in as well, it doesn't matter.

Next thing to do is to download the tarball in which owncloud resides. You can find the latest at https://owncloud.org/support/install/ , just click the .tar button and step one will provide you with a link to a .tar.bz2 file, copy this link or write it down. At the time of writing, the latest version is owncloud-4.5.7.tar.bz2. We tell the server to download this like this:
cd /var/wwwwget http://mirrors.owncloud.org/releases/owncloud-4.5.7.tar.bz2 This will download the tarball into your web server root directory. You extract this tarball by first unzipping it, leaving you with a .tar and then untarring it, leaving you with the contents of the tarball. After that, you may delete the tarball.
sudo apt-get install bunzip2bunzip2 owncloud-4.5.7.tar.bz2tar -xf owncloud-4.5.7.tarrm owncloud-4.5.7.tar The next thing to do is decide where you want the data directory of ownCloud to be. This means: where does ownCloud store the data you put on it? You should never, ever use a subdirectory of /var/www, as this will make the files accessible from the web without logging in on the ownCloud page. I went for /var/owncloud/data, but you may pick another folder as well.
sudo mkdir -p /var/owncloud/data After this, point your browser to 192.168.1.150/owncloud . As always, replace 192.168.1.150 with the IP address of your server. This will bring up the ownCloud setup wizard. Fill in a new username and password pair, this will be the account of the primary user (admin). Click 'Advanced' and enter the folder where you want the data to be stored. Click 'Finish Setup'.

You should be logged into your ownCloud account now. In the bottom left, you can access the settings menu. In 'Personal settings' you can access the link to download the sync clients for Linux, Windows and Mac. In the 'Users settings', you can create and manage user accounts and groups.

You now have your personal cloud storage server! Just download the ownCloud client from their website and install it on any computer you want to include in the cloud.
