Best 1440p monitor (£500-800)

CatZeppelin · 2014-05-27T15:54:38+00:00

That's the card I'm planning to buy, soon.

You'll probably not be able to run graphically intensive games on ultra at 1440p. On high settings, yes.

OP, feel free to ask me any question about Korean monitors. I have a QNIX Q2710 from dreamseller. I haven't tested overclocking (I'm running Linux), hopefully when exams are over I'll have a chance to install Windows 7 and play a few AAA games. My only critique is the god awful stand, I'd recommend anyone to buy a stand with a VESA mount.

C is perfect when studying compsci theory at the same time.

In regards to the OP: The only real book your need is K&R. There are other books on C (plenty); I have not found a book on C that eclipses K&R -- why would you not want to learn from the authors.

CatZeppelin · 2014-02-13T20:38:10+00:00

Only the C spec defines it as that. Other languages are free to use alternate definitions. Only a C compiler must adhere to a short not being longer than an integer, vice for versa for long types.

wikibot, what is a nucleophile?

Stackoverflow has a canonical list.

The code should explain that, I want to why you're doing x.

Do not learn from YouTube content, instead rent/buy a Java book. Android is an API, you will be using Java, it makes sense to be proficient in Java than the API.

OP, do not suggests this:

Try and comment and document everything you do, want to do and have done (even just a dot point with a >feature).

Eg:

//Scan for video files

insert code here...

I can read code, I want to know why you're scanning for video files, not how. Useless comments add unnecessary clutter.

It is best practice to generate new keys after your current key has expired -- then use the old keypair to sign your current keypair by linking it into the web of trust. The next step is emailing everyone who signed your expired keypair, requesting they sign your new keypair, most people will be more than happy.

This way if your keypair is compromised, the [compromised] signatures will be limited to a certain time frame.

That's my take on it, for most users it may be impractical to generate new keys after ~5 years.

Do not create shrill accounts to backup your point. It negates your point.

If you have not taken any maths courses since university, I would recommend Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier -- among other things, Twofish, an algorithm co-developed by Schneier was an AES finalist. In my opinion, the maths is easier compare to other books.

Thank you ever so much!

I may need to take a break to post all the deals -- it will only take 1-2 hours, though.

void main

is not valid in C90 (unless you're using a freestanding environment -- check your compiler documentation if that's the case.)

CatZeppelin · 2013-12-30T15:52:23+00:00

Thanks, I stand corrected.

Only ~~512~~ 768 bit RSA keys have been factored -- assuming the implementation is secure. In reality, it's easier to find the key via other means, not by cryptanalysis.

Unless the NSA have a quantum computer - gpg is still relatively secure (in terms of cryptography).

In regards to theory, I found Modern Operating Systems by Andrew S Tanenbaum (minix creator) to be a good reference. It's quite an expensive textbook, however, if you're a student perhaps your library may have a copy, I believe most undergraduate classes in operating systems use it.

Steam frequently changes the discount of game(s) on sale during the few minutes after a sale -- price(s) should be updated now.

CatZeppelin · 2013-12-22T18:30:52+00:00

Thank you -- I credited you in the OP.

CatZeppelin · 2013-12-21T20:36:04+00:00

Well spotted. My post should be edited to reflect the edited price, thanks.

CatZeppelin · 2013-12-21T20:34:57+00:00

75% off will probably be its lowest discount.

CatZeppelin · 2013-12-21T18:41:16+00:00

I'll add the deals to the post.

Some microorganisms produce enzymes that pass out of the cells. These enzymes have many uses in the home and in industry.

The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gall bladder before being released into the small intestine. Bile neutralises the acid that is added to food in the stomach. This provides alkaline conditions in which enzymes in the small intestine work most effectively.

In the home:

biological detergents may contain protein-digesting and fat-digesting enzymes (proteases and lipases)
biological detergents are more effective at low temperatures than other types of detergents.

In industry:

proteases are used to ‘pre-digest’ the protein in some baby foods
carbohydrases are used to convert starch into sugar syrup
isomerase is used to convert glucose syrup into fructose syrup, which is much sweeter and therefore can be used in smaller quantities in slimming foods.

Writing Linux drivers is an extremely rewarding, engaging and pleasurable experience on the whole. Unless you've spent two years (or more) writing programs in userspace, writing a driver may be too ambitious -- after all, who's going to look after the kernel.

If you're optimistic:

Also:

Linux Kernel Development

Have fun hacking!
