    Buying my work laptop from my employer

    My current employer (small company) purchased a 13" Macbook Pro (early 2015) a little over a year ago for me to use in my current role. I am now leaving the company, and my boss asked me to estimate the value of it if I wanted to keep it after I left. I'm interested in keeping the laptop, but...

    New system - extreme audio distortion

    So I just put together a new system around an Asus M5A99X EVO motherboard. The fresh Win7 install and everything else went well until I started playing a game and noticed lots of distortion in the audio. The audio is unusable, tons of static and clipping. The experience playing games...

    AM3 Heatsink for passive cooling

    I have a box I'm using for an unRAID server, and I'm trying to make it as quiet as possible. I already replaced the 120mm exhaust fan with a Gentle Typhoon, and I replaced the 80mm HDD cage fan with a low rpm, quieter version. The noisiest remaining fan in the case is the 70mm fan from the...

    *edit* I'm coding in C++ Let say I have a pure virtual base class (call it Base) and two derived classes ClassA and ClassB. Is there a way to define a constant such that it will be different between the two derived classes but be usable in the base class? For example, let say I want a...

    Dead SSD, and Mysery switch

    I took the plunge on a SSD (Super Talent 128GB UltraDrive) last month via this deal. After ~30 days, I received a message from AMD RAIDXpert that the drive had been dropped, and Windows crashed shortly thereafter. After that, the BIOS wouldn't recognize the drive. I contacted SuperTalent...

    Unhappy w/ new lazer mouse jitters

    So I got a new laser mouse a couple weeks ago. I had been extremely happy with my A4tech X-718 Optical mouse, and I was fairly bummed that after 2+ years of use, the main mouse button started registering multiple clicks instead of one. I was pleasantly surprised to find a newer model of...

    Why Prime95?

    Why do I see so many posts by people giving Prime95 as their only/primary tool for stability testing? There are several stress tests that seem to be way harder on your CPU: OCCT and Linpack come to my mind. Personally, I use OCCT, since I find just 1h of OCCT is a pretty good predictor of...

    I had Vista installed on a partition on my HD, so the Vista default bootloader was working fine to select between my XP partition and Vista. At some point, I stopped using Vista, so now that the Win7 RC is out, I decided to install it over my Vista partition. The install went fine, but...

    Minimization problem

    I have a minimization problem I need to solve as accurately as possible. I think it's NP-complete, but not entirely sure. I'd like to know if anyone has better ideas for solving it than I have, since my solution is O(2^n) time, and that's not acceptable. I have n vectors, each of which can be...
