    Should I keep going with this design...?

    I would say the biggest thing that jumps out to me is how little of screen space is actually being used. On 1280x1024, maybe about 1/4 of the page has content on it. The entire right half of the screen is just empty space. The "home", "blog", "projects", "about", "contact" menus are not...

    Help me finalize a new rig

    Tiraides- thanks for your recommendations. I have a question about the RAM... from what I've read, you can't run the RAM at 1600 on a i5 750 withing o/c'ing the CPU. Is that true? In that case, would it be better to go for 1333 RAM with good timings? I don't want to put myself into a situation...

    Help me finalize a new rig

    Couple weeks ago, my trusty old PC passed away. She was a good rig, bout 5 years old, AMD X2 3800+, MSI Neo4, 2 gigs of ram, 7800 GT, *tear* But alas, it is time to move on and build a new, modern PC. I've been doing some research and heres the build I have put together. One big piece that...

    Sudden hard drive death

    So I wake up this morning and my BIOS isn't recognizing my couple-month-old 1 TB drive. It's a Seagate 7200.11 1TB (Model: ST31000340AS, Firmware: SD15, Made in Thailand) that I got from ZZF 6 months ago. This sounds *exactly* like...

    Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 questions

    I use that keyboard at work... ~8-9 hrs a day 5 days a week for about 7-8 months now. No carpal tunnel! I can't comment how it is for games, but its great for typing. The only bad thing that I can say about it is that sometimes I reach for the 'y' key with my left hand and miss it completely!

    Syntax and efficiency question

    They do care. But time to market > performance atleast for the short term. If you think about it, thats the definition of a product that is in beta testing. People accept the fact that the product is not completely stable and they are okay with that as long as the new features are worth it. Now...

    Syntax and efficiency question

    quicksort is 300x faster than bubble sort for n=1000? More like ~100x. n log n is actually n log(base 2) n :) But thats besides my point... my point is that you don't know how much time it will take to do all that number crunching. It could be 10s vs 100ms or 10 ms vs 100 ns. *THATS* my...

    Syntax and efficiency question

    Can you tell me, without implementing, how long would it take to sort 1000 ints? Bubble is "slower" than quick sort, but can you quantify "slower"? I disagree with the point you seem to be implying: that it is possible to get the performance metrics of an algorithm before you have implemented...

    Syntax and efficiency question

    Yes. You're right, choosing the appropriate algorithm is more important than tweaking the algorithm for efficiency reasons. However, my point was slightly different: My point is that using quick sort vs bubble sort may not even matter in the scope of the bigger picture. If you need to sort an...

    Syntax and efficiency question

    1) Write readable code that gets the job done in a reasonably fast manner 2) If its too slow, find the bottle neck and refactor/optimize it 3) Rinse and repeat as many times as necessary The basic idea here is that you won't know how slow/fast something will be until its running in front...
