GOD DAMNIT.
My computer gives me a fucking headache.
I've had a very poor connection for weeks now, and I thought my cable might've been bad.
I took my brother's laptop, disabled the WLAN adapter to be sure it only gets a connection from my cable, and it got 85/6 out of 120/10. I've launched safe mode with networking on my computer and sure enough I get the full throttled speed, but when booting Windows normally it's a slow sack of shit.
Any ideas what I might be looking at here? I've already tried to flush the DNS and checked my drivers, right now I'm also doing a full scan with Malwarebytes.
fuck newegg
they take forever to ship stuff
my orders been "processing" for days, and their live chat has had me "on hold" for so long now and apparently the order got messed up on their end and I have to resubmit so it'll be an even longer wait

Man, it's been a while since I had any content to post, ever since Fuckhead's untimely demise (ie. we fired his ass). But I've got some now - the ghost of Fuckhead remains in the system.
Fuckhead had written the big data import/export system. While setting up a new client, one of the exports wasn't working.
The idea is simple: make a CSV file with all the data, copy it to the remote server. He managed to mangle the shit out of that.
First thing it does is check that the server can be connected to by SSH. Okay.
Then it checks that the directory exists, using SFTP. I found some PHP retardedness here, but so far not too weird.
Then it writes the file to a local temp dir. Nothing wrong with that, but how does it get the file to the remote server?
It uses SCP.
You may have noticed that SFTP and SCP are in fact different protocols. You may wonder why you would check using one method then execute with another. You might also inquire as to why the return value of the ssh2_scp_send function is not checked, or why warnings are silently discarded.
Me? I'm inquiring as to whether this retard is still wearing his helmet, because the world is full of sharp edges a dumbass like him could [del]be pushed onto[/del] fall on.
I'm also asking why we're doing SSH file copies to a Windows server, rather than the CIFS mount that the system also supports, but that's just me. It does explain why the SCP fails - SCP is not exactly in the Windows default install.
Oh, and the PHP retardedness I mentioned? Consider this code, from the official docs:
[code]$connection = ssh2_connect('shell.example.com', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'username', 'password');
$sftp = ssh2_sftp($connection);
$stream = fopen("ssh2.sftp://$sftp/path/to/file", 'r');[/code]
Seems mostly logical, right? Except the docs also say, for ssh2_sftp:
"This method returns an SSH2 SFTP resource"
So $sftp is a resource, not a string. So what do you think that file path looks like?
A clever man would expect them to have overridden the string function on the resource, so that it returns a string like "username:password@shell.example.com:22", making the full URL "ssh2.sftp://username:password@shell.example.com:22/path/to/file". The clever man would be wrong.
The URL actually looks like:
ssh2.sftp://Resource id #5/path/to/file
Because $sftp, in a string context, is "Resource id #5".
That means that, at some point, PHP has to take that string, parse out the ID number, convert it to integer, then look up the resource using that id in order to get whatever information it actually needs.
That's not a bug. That is how it is designed to function. Somebody sat down and built a library that works this way.

I just find them a little blugh.[/QUOTE]

Warship has a Zenbook UX32, but he upgraded his display to 1080p.

I would probably be ok with a 768p display on a 13-inch screen

I got the Asus UX32LN, and it's amazing.

Believe me you wouldn't be okay. 1366x768 is fine for 11.6in machines but anything above, the pixels would be easily visible to count individually.

I had to use a 17" 1366x768 laptop once. My eyes still hurt remembering it :c

I find 768p on a 15.6 inch laptop to be passable........
please dont kill me

Wtf why do those exist. Even my 8 year 17 inch laptop at least had 1440x900.

the Sony Vaio laptop I installed Windows 7 on that still has the missing mouse, keyboard and some other drivers is 1440x900 on a 18.4 inch screen. I don't think anyone makes these huge ass laptops anymore.. This thing is like 5 years old with a really nice island style keyboard.
Right, another thing I want in a laptop, I really nice island-style keyboard like the one on this Sony Vaio.

Believe me, after you use a higher res display at 15.6, you never want to go back. My 15.6 ASUS has a 1080p screen and it's the sex.
Oh hey, we are on the 1337th page

On a 15.6in its acceptable, but it could've had more effort to having a res higher than that, in my opinion.
having 768 on my 15.6 I don't like it as much as 1080 on a friends
I'm also trying to figure out which laptop size is better for me, 13 or 15. I do like the portability of 13 but I also like the keyboard space with 15 plus the number pad is also useful and more space to put stuff like dedicated graphics, etc. Everyone I know seems to have the 15.6 inch screens.
[QUOTE=garychencool;45611952]Oh hey, we are on the 1337th page[/QUOTE]
This would be remarkable if we were twelve years old.

apparently we are not.

Is that the variant with dual graphics (Intel HD 4400 + Nvidia GT 840M)?
How is it for light gaming?
Obligatory post just so I can be on page LEET.

15 is a pretty good size imo. I have one.

1440x900 is far less common now and I don't fucking know why. Almost everything is eye bleeding 1366x768 or 1080p+
