It sounds like you want to make your own fonts. This is not trivial, you'll want to read into different types of fonts (vector vs raster/bitmap, TrueType and OpenType) and then find a program for making fonts. There are free ones out there but I couldn't recommend one, it's been years since I...

It did work well enough, I don't think I had any major complaints (at least any that I couldn't make of any other version of Windows). I have pleasant memories of it, but I don't think it was in any way exceptional. I did end up running Linux most of the times on all (two) of my Vista machines...

I know rotation is handled by the driver, you can do that on Linux with just about any card as it is even without proprietary drivers (I have one of my monitors mounted vertically). It's literally just the key combo I didn't know about...

Linux, Debian and Arch specifically. I don't know how to use Windows effectively any more, it feels clunky now. I don't even know how to cope with a file manager that doesn't do tabbing. Just the other day I discovered that you can rotate the screen win Win10 with some key combo I already...

That's just the square root of Euler's number

We don't want to nobody does Even in its own domain, people are opting for things like LINQ, so it looks like "all programming languages" are seriously eyeing SQL's turf, not the other way around.

Exponent? =100*0.5^X X can be a number or cell. Make a row/column of numbers you want to use as power, and use those cells in place of X.

It does say that But I too am suspicious of those prices... would be amazing if they turn out to be true.

Well, you're not wrong - I didn't mean to say that it's getting faster. it's just that with smartphones/tablets there's (for obvious reasons) been a big push for software that works with little memory, on crappy CPUs, and minds power consumption, and APIs/frameworks on them are designed...

Didn't you ask this question before? Anyway, your 4-things-only statement is false. Consider a 3D game. Does rendering the scene count as creating, inserting, updating or deleting? How do you fit a render loop or a physics simulation into the create-insert-update-delete paradigm/shoe? How...

They'll just solve it in software. It's only with the rise of mobile computing that devs have started again paying serious attention to how demanding their software is. Outside of few specialised fields, it used to be that performance was a lesser concern, so as hardware got more powerful...

I once spent 100 kangaroo dollars on a nice set of quiet Noctua fans, only to find that in the end they made little difference in noise levels because the single loudest component in the system was actually my graphics card with its rinky-dinky tiny fan, followed by hard drives. They really are...

They're all legal in most parts of the world. Though most criminal (internet) activity does occur on the deep/dark web (since it makes not getting busted easier), majority of deepweb users are harmless people doing harmless activities (libertarians and anarchists sticking it to the man, privacy...

You can't make a voice sound like that by just boosting the bass, sexy voice stays sexy regardless of the mic and if your voice isn't sexy... software isn't going to help you. At least not bass boosting, that just makes it sound annoying. Unless you're looking for some kind of mission impossible...

3 pages of discussion in a thread called "AMD pwns INTEL" and okedokey still hasn't showed up to tell us how everyone is wrong? This is not like him at all man I hope something bad hasn't happened to him.

Do you have brand/model/part number for that thing? I'm not sure I know what that thing is, but apparently SATA spec does have a word on port multipliers which allow multiple drives on a single port. I'd never heard of them until I looked them up just now, though, for all I know it could be some...

PC crashed into a computer cycle sounds like a tragic traffic incident. More seriously, 0x0000000A is one of those errors that could be caused by anything - bad memory, dodgy drivers, any broken piece of hardware really. You might want to try booting it with another memory stick (or if your...

Ubuntu is probably out of the question, I have a P3 800MHz with 256MB RAM machine that I don't think has run Ubuntu properly since the 7.xx and even then it was a bit of a pain. TinyCore, Puppy Linux and Slitaz are some very lightweight options that can run reasonably comfortably with your RAM...

If you're really that desperate for a "high-end" computer, you might want to look at old servers on ebay, something like mid/high-end Proliant G5/G6 with dual quad-core processors. They're massively unwieldy and suck for graphics (they generally have integrated chips that can only do up to about...

I occasionally use Chromium, which is basically just Chrome without any proprietary/closed source stuff, and yea I imagine I've used bing on it a few times. I'm still mostly on Firefox.
