i want technological reasons why its better than windows. such as "oh its better because the way it handles processes," "its initialization system," and such and go into detail why.

It resurrects hardware most people throw away.

Sure you can say it is a "freedom" claim*, as I get a computer and software for no money.

But stop and think about how good the code has to be for me to significantly downgrade my hardware and still have a faster and more useful system to meet my needs.

*also would like to you to clarify are you you talking "freedom" involving money or "freedom" involving rights and ownership, or if both please state as such.

970 Ti sample spotted on pcmark

should it be a first showing of pascal?

maybe nvidia releasing a cut down pascal that *almost* beats a 980 but not quite, with an actual full 4gb of vram?

never going to happen. Valve devs have the "freedom" to do whatever they want, but with freedom comes taking responsibility and the guys at Valve are chickenshits. They prefer just shoveling out endless amounts of cosmetic items and doing experiments until the end of time.
>>
>>53372632
I thought the resolution and the optics were supposed to be better on the oculus. Is the Vive selling at cost?

>>53365451
From reading this thread, it looks like the tracking is much better on the Vive. What exactly is lacking on the oculus that prevents it from having room scale tracking? I'm not sure I understand what was meant by that dev in the screenshot posted.

10% increase for $26 is pretty good.
I looked at the SSD's they start from the ~$70 so I'm not sure if it's a good idea to get it. I'm still hoping to upgrade my PSU so I'll hold back for now and see what happens. Is my current selection really that bad? Also assuming that I can get the better PSU and I could get either the i5-6500 or the SSD, which one would you think is the better choice? I think I'd go for the SSD, but the CPU could allow for much faster work, so I'm like 50/50 atm. Also before I forget will I be able to overclock my cpu, gpu and ram later if needed, I doubt I'll OC them all (might do the GPU to push out a little extra juice), but that will be like 2 years later or something?

I run it on several small atom netbooks. Some type of javascript blocker/whitelist thing like uMatrix is necessary to make the web usable.

>>53372956
well, no, I put long long on the declaration and the function parameter, but not on the return type. So it would go in glorious 64 bit int, but return as a lowly standard int.

That's implicit type conversion, right?
>>
>>53372941
>The technical term for this is implicit type conversion, yes? This is what I should have watched out for?
Yeah, that's basically right.
The 64-bit value was being converted to a 32-bit value upon return.
>>
>>53372974
implicit type conversion will not go from bigger -> smaller.
i don't what you mean by the declaration, you mean the function prototype under your includes? if so then if that's mismatched with the return type of the function itself, the compiler should throw an error.

the type of the func parameters are irrelevant to the return type, and even then, the parameters were never more than ~20 like you said
>>
>>53373003
Not him, but I think your explanation is confusing
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion#Implicit_type_conversion

>Important takeaways:
>float to int causes truncation, i.e., removal of the fractional part.
>double to float causes rounding of digit.
>long long to int causes dropping of excess higher order bits.

His situation is an example of implicit type conversion.

Off the top of my head, Solidworks, functional modeling for Autodesk stuff, video rendering (though that is more GPU dependent) and just to see how far I can push it. Knocked it back down to the standard 4.0Ghz after I was getting some strange goings on and decided to nix that idea. Still works fine, just a little slower (no shit).
