Are you using an encryption on it's own or are you adding a hash to it? If it's the former, you might as well leave it unencrypted tbqh family

Are you affiliated with WebMD?

I feel like you're setting me up for a one two combo so I'm just going to be a wet-squid and say no.

No particular order

Se7en
Princess Mononoke
FotR
No Country for Old Men
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Honorable Mentions

Battle Royal
The Labyrinth
The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Fargo
Pulp Fiction
Inglorious Basterds
Shutter Island
Inception

Ok, let's see here.

First off replace se7ev with Fargo, that's a no-brainer.
Princess Monoke? Come on man, That's not even in his top 3 best films.
Fotr. Good choice, I really have no complaints about this.
NCFOM. Once again, it's a safe pick, not razzle-dazzle amazing nor is it crap.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Haven't seen this so I can't comment on it.

Unfortunately most of your honourable mentions list bar Fargo and POSSIBLY Pulp Fiction can be considered trash.

Look, I'm not going to bullshit you, it's not a bad list by any standards but you're a long way away from patrician.

wtf is that fam?

It's a popular mini-computer that is useful for all sorts of things. It's good for teaching kids to get into computing as well.
The raspberry pi is pretty much only limited by it's RAM tbh.

I have one that I use for retropie.

If you can, get a raspberry pi zero, it's only $5 and it's decently powerful. its more powerful than the first pi, but not quite as powerful as the pi 2 iirc. It'd be a good entry point if you are really tight on money.


Yeah, I remembered that I bought one back in 2013 and forgot about it. So I just opened it up this evening and it's a Model B. I'm not sure if that's better than or worse than the one's you listed though as I'm not certain about the different  models

I'd be really happy if I can just use it to take notes/save and edit text files on the go.

What games do you play?

Well, my instinct would be that learning software first is more important and logical.

I can't think of a good way to explain it, except that you need to understand the thought process before getting down to the nitty-gritty. The invention of numbers came before the invention of the calculator, you know?

 I'm not sure I understand what you're saying? The first computers had no software, they were mechanically driven machines. Then they used paper with punch-holes and Then used vacccum tubes, etc. So didn't the computer come before the software?
Those computers would have been pointless without algorithms (there would be no reason to invent computers otherwise), with algorithms being the blueprints for software.

So you're saying it would be best to learn math first then build a mechanical gear-driven computer then learn a language?
No. Don't be a smartass.

I mean, I guess you could learn computer science backwards, but I'm not sure what you'd get out of learning hardware without the prerequisites to understand it first. (And like Turkey said, hardware won't teach you much about programming, anyway)

But going back on topic here, will you make an unboxing thread when you get it? (pretty please)

I'm really sorry man, I literally just opened it up. I can put it back in the box and take it out again but it wouldn't be the same :(


btw, I actually remembered I had one bought from 2012, never-opened in my attic so I just used that one
oh >.> I was thinking you didn't have one yet

What's it like when you take it out? Setting it up, stuff like that.

I don't know yet, it came with no MicroUSB power, SD card or anything like that, so I'm just scavenging for parts around my garage. I'm currently powering it with an old phone charger and I'm trying to hook it up to my CRT TV,
All I need is a HDMI to AV converter. Never thought I would need one of those!

And learning about hardware won't really tell you anything about programming.

Well I suppose It can't hurt to learn about it anyway. 

And another thing I'm not sure about, what language do you use to mess about with it? The only computer language I kind of know is BASIC, but that's been obsolete for around 30 years now.

If what you said is true, then you would be unable to type the OP and post it. I'm presuming you have had resting periods with your eyes closed but have just not reached REM. In which case you can survive indifintiely, you just need eye-shut periods of around 12 hours a day to survive.

Thinking of teaching myself programming, but I want to start from the ground-up, ie learning about hardware

If I get into a conversation with well motivated/driven people that ask me what I want to do with my life, I describe in detail my lack of any ambition or goals.

100%, without fail, it makes them really angry with me and I love it.



"But don't you have ANY interests, any passions?"

<"Not really, no."

"Why? What's wrong with you?"

<"I don't know man."

This is usualy how it starts off.

« on: January 29, 2016, 10:35:08 AM »
I agree with you. But I think the move from hand-drawn animation to digital has played a big part in this. Not to sound like a nostalgic new-world hippie or anything, but digital animation saps the 'life' out of cartoons I think. Just look at the new simpsons ffs, they all look like lifeless robots.

And the scope thing you mentioned is all but lost too, you had cartoons that weren't afraid to tackle the big questions, like growing up. (Kids Next Door, Hey Arnold, etc.) But yeah, adventure time is the physical manifestation of reddit and tumblr. Looking at it is like staring at a 40 year old's MLP collection, I feel naught but sadness and quaint curiosity.

Why? There are so many better cartoons in this day and age. Why dwell on the past?

Sorry should have said non-meme too.

Hear that guys? Desty already claimed the first meme, but there's to be no more memes after this thanks. Well standard memes like tbqh imho familá are still alright of course, just no topic-targeted memes.
not even gonna bother reading that seeing how shitty it looks.

Not sure what your argument is, but judging by the first line you're being an idiot.

likewise familá
