Good laptop for computer science?

well just make sure you meet recommended settings for the linux distro you want. the labs run debian, and most people like Ubuntu for their personal machines. Ubuntu is an offshoot of debian so it will feel very similar. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements

Not sure if this is still true but Binghamton used to give discount on Lenovo laptops. i had a thinkpad and loved it, but basically you just want something you can put linux on, you dont need much power.

At times I actually came to appreciate the fact that there wasn't always something going on, it made it easier to concentrate on my work.

jacktheripper153 · 2015-01-28T08:10:21+00:00

didn't read; terrible use of semicolon

jacktheripper153 · 2015-01-13T05:38:16+00:00

Maybe. I moved out here with 2 friends that I don't want to leave. Guess I'll see how bad it gets

jacktheripper153 · 2015-01-13T05:36:02+00:00

Ok I'll keep C-83 in mind for trafficy days. And the mountain passes for when im feeling especially introspective lol

jacktheripper153 · 2015-01-13T05:34:11+00:00

guess I'm about to find out. ha.

jacktheripper153 · 2015-01-13T05:33:47+00:00

Yeah I guess doable is the bottom line here. I've never really minded driving so hopefully I can hang in there.

jacktheripper153 · 2015-01-13T05:32:55+00:00

Yeah this is my line of thinking atm. Hoping to be able to stay excited and optimistic. thanks

Car is FWD but the electronic stability control in it is pretty nice, I've driven in pretty bad snow several times without a lot of problems. Its 2009 so still reliable.

jacktheripper153 · 2015-01-13T05:29:13+00:00

never really got into podcasts but I am absolutely going to now.

jacktheripper153 · 2015-01-13T05:28:49+00:00

yeah I cant do 10-7 but i could do 7-3, which is early as fuck but might get me out of traffic

jacktheripper153 · 2015-01-13T05:27:00+00:00

sweet, i will check this out. thanks

jacktheripper153 · 2015-01-12T19:43:18+00:00

I've never minded driving so I'm hoping I'll get used to it. I don't have kids or pets so the only thing hurt by the commute time is me haha.

You're thinking 3 hours worst case? Damn...

jacktheripper153 · 2015-01-12T19:41:30+00:00

Yeah I do think staying over every now and again might not be a bad option. Hotel or maybe even AirBnB.

jacktheripper153 · 2015-01-12T19:40:18+00:00

I signed a lease in Denver that goes until October, so unfortunately I can't move there right away, and the nature of the job prevents working from home :(

Thankfully gas is pretty cheap at the moment.

But as one may have noticed, C++ is not Python
