Nice. :-) I did some profiling on my hard drive, and found that during my computer lock ups 1. The write speed was not high, instead it was quite low (1MB/s or so) 2. The disk accesses were very high (260 accesses/second) as was the number of I/O processes on the disk (around 110).
My computer does not locks up during big file copy, hence now the problem seems to be more of a latency problem than read speed. Hence, I want to reduce the latency as much as possible. Looking into that now. :P
@ΠαρθΚοχλι I feel I have to constantly remind people that 1. Windows has come very far since the 95/98 days. In fact, they are almost completely different operating systems.
Most of it by authors who don't understand that Windows is not based on DOS any more, and of course beating the dead horse of XP having horrible security - it's also 11 years old.
I am secretly happy with the falling share of PC's. PC's will again be used only by the enthusiasts, workers and programmers, all the others who just want to browse internet and read mail and watch movies can use their tablets. Hopefully, this will lead to better laptops? (Fingers Crossed, Touch Wood)
@Bob In India, you can see these so-called "engineers" (they're nothing but n00bs with a pack of disks) carrying Windows bootables everywhere. And they charge no more than $5.
@Bob Hmm, may be. But also like, manufacturers will not be forced to concentrate on the casual users anymore and hence can make slightly pricier but well designed laptops whose keyboards do not suck.
I actually like the operating systems used in tablets, but they shouldn't be interchangeable. One does not simply fancy scrolling through a screen full of only icons with a mouse. It's stupid.
@Bob Almost all of my friends love Unity interface and chide me for using i3wm or KDE. (I installed linux on their computers) I do not know why? I ask them why do they think Unity is better? They say, it just is.... :-/ So, Mark Shuttleworth got that right AFAIK.
I'm getting a number of these warnings when compiling a few binaries:
warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strcpy’
warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strlen’
warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘exit’

Fine @ Shakti Prakash Singh. Questions never will come without a proper reason. Please see the Answer section have you tried ever? and I am looking the optimized way to achieve this from the answers. — Tvm Murthy3 hours ago
that whole question is rather ridiculous
Really?!
The currently second-most-upvoted answer says to use regex.
...why the !@#$
that question should die, quickly. why on earth would you need a dozen esoteric ways to do this? it's got to be one of the most basic string manipulation questions in existence
@Hennes Frankly, I compile multiple programs on a daily basis and they certainly aren't warning free; and because dependency specifications are careless, usually they aren't error free either.
I always prefer to make things warning free if I can. If there are needless warnings then I do not consider the program finished yet. Though I will usually avoid fixing 'warning var_foo may be used uninitialised'.
I think though, on the bigger projects, a lot of these warnings are also a result of newer compiler versions; they even check for things that may give random runtime failures.
Ensuring every version of every compiler doesn't throw warnings may be a step too far, though...
When forming opinions, it is a good practice to follow scholastic tradition - think as hard as you can against the opinion you hold and try to find counter-arguments.
However, no matter how hard I try, I just cannot find reasonable arguments in favor of antivirus (and related security measures) ...
Hey guys I got a product question? Intel release a lot of details on thier Haswell products. Intel i7 4770K is listed as not supports VPro, TXT, VT-d and INtel SIPP are any of those required for Hyper-V support in Windows 8?
ffmpeg is very lightweight and can split/combine/replace audio streams
though you might want a graphical program with a timeline if you want to do more advanced editing, e.g. replace parts or a track or start it at a certain time, etc.
