[QUOTE=Zephyrs;51068000]Hard drives are shockingly hard to completely destroy. You can render them inoperable, but wiping both completely, and quickly, is not trivial. No matter what you do you need to throw some serious horsepower at them. Industrial shredders a pretty effective for the task, but hitting them with a hammer is nowhere near sufficient. There's been a few fun defcon talks on the subject. Turns out it's pretty difficult to properly destroy hard drives in a standard rack without doing something that will damage the rest of the data center, or trigger seismic alerts.[/QUOTE] Once tried to drill press them. That idea lasted about as long as my drill bit did.
I did drill press one, but it was on a wet press and had some extremely hardened bits because it was in a metal shop. It still took far longer than I thought it would. Wound up just having the guy slice it with a torch after the first hole. Much easier, and you aren't recovering anything off of a heap of slag. Even if the pile of melted shit that was at one point platters had been intact, the heat would have destroyed the magnetic attenuation.

Anyway this university assignment is dreadfully boring. Wasn't sure what titles to add to the old dropdown so I just added [I]all of them[/I].

I mean really, the last thing you want is a Grand Duchess coming to your shop and just scoffing when her title isn't there and taking her business elsewhere.
Why do some electronics insist on using the shiny plastic that scratches if you even look at it wrong?

Getting ready to move out into an apartment with internet here in the next 1-3 months. Will be using my income tax refund to build a new computer. Decided to go on Newegg and get a build put together... I forgot how fast they release new stuff in this industry. I have no idea what is considered a good mid-range anymore and I feel like it's 2009 again.

[editline]18th September 2016[/editline] Somebody please end my suffering.[/QUOTE] Why can't you have it as a text field that makes suggestions from the list? Neatly organizes things for you, and lets you just type in whatever. Add a fail state that disallows incorrect things not on the list if you have to keep control over it. At the very least alphabetize the titles, with maybe a small section of common ones at the top.

We lose marks if there is a single piece of javascript that ASP.NET didn't put in for it's postback bullshit. The whole time I was making it I was just getting gradually more annoyed I can't just have a fucking address field like every other website ever so you put the street number, name, and address in one go but no, assignments. We lose marks if we follow the language standards and capitalise public members, we have to have a private member [I]and[/I] a private accessor field (I can [I]kind of[/I] see the point of doing it for public but it's not like in Java where if you decide to add an accessor later you have to rewrite [I]everything[/I] that used it) for shit that simply returns the other private value. We got told to use stuff that was deprecated a decade ago instead of the "advanced language feature" that is List<T>. Whole assignment is aids to be honest. I also ignored most of the lecture content because it's in VB.NET and I value my sanity. I thought maybe I'd learn something from this class but instead I'll be leaving some notes in the end of semester reviews so the teacher can learn instead. I was using the ordering off Wikipedia but alphabetical does make more sense. As a bonus, the page that accepts user details, checks they are correct and puts them into an [I]access[/I] database is worth 35% of the class mark, the whole rest of the website with a cart, categories, products and shit was worth [I]15%[/I]. What the fuck even is this. [/blogpunch]
University assignments suck
What does it cost to have a server place host your box?

At work, I'm currently using old stuff. Mainly Java with ICEFaces (The old version), Spring, JSF and JQuery 1.10, and I'd really like to work with modern technologies and languages in school. Preferrably some freedom of choosing my own libs and languages for certain topics. I'll be visiting some information events later this year, so I'll know that I'm gonna get myself into before I sign up and throw massive amounts of money in their direction.
Tertiary level web development also sucks ass though.
[QUOTE=RoboChimp;51068941]What does it cost to have a server place host your box?[/QUOTE] Define "your box", define "server place", define your uses? [editline]18th September 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=helifreak;51068996]Tertiary level web development also sucks ass though.[/QUOTE] Web Development is easier to teach yourself than learn through university/education system IMO, since it's changing so rapidly. Formal education is most useful for the underlying theory.

My brother gave me an old monitor (10 years old roughly) of his that has a VGA only input (Hanns-G HG173)- I had to buy an adapter etc and I only just tried to set it up as a second monitor for video editing. The kettle lead is really, really loose and any kind of movement will cause the monitor to turn off, it's also making some weird cracking noises when moved. I've unplugged it for now - Is there any fix for this or would I be better getting rid and not risking anything?

Why dont you just rent renderfarm time.
[QUOTE=alien_guy;51069591]Why dont you just rent renderfarm time.[/QUOTE]Perhaps, but it really depends on whether it's more cost effective to run this particular site off a dedicated box or not. It's for a site that does 3D renders.
[QUOTE=RoboChimp;51069261]How much does it cost to get a datacentre to host a custom webserver,( eg it's a server with 3x GTX 1070s in it for rendering).[/QUOTE] Probably like somewhere around 200 USD, don't expect it to be a price saver, if you can find a host that can offer dual/tripple consumer GPUs that would probably be the cheaper option still.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;51071291]For that kind of work why not go with Titan XP's?[/QUOTE] No idea. Maybe it is more cost effective to use 1080s instead of Titans
[QUOTE=garychencool;51071358]No idea. Maybe it is more cost effective to use 1080s instead of Titans[/QUOTE] It is as we've recently argued in another thread as long as your work just needs moar cuda as 1080's have more cuda/$ than TitanXP's.
