Re:What's the best laptop for $250 or less? on Monday December 17, 2012 @01:07PM (#4933453)
The biggest thing I'm planning to do is use it for homework and light disc burning. Mostly though, I don't just want to use the browser, I'm interested in something I can take to college this coming semester.

What's the best laptop for $250 or less?

Posted by Dracosphinx on Monday December 17, 2012 @11:02AM
from the self-post dept.

I would prefer to have a windows 7 laptop, but 8 is acceptable. I'm not aware of many good retail deals and I have no real idea of what makes a good laptop either. I'm hoping that any one of you fine people knows what I should get.

I just wish more people were aware of the disturbing similarities to Wiemar Germany... Here's the leader of GD denying the holocaust and defending Hitler.

The Golden Dawn party has had 18 officials elected to office. They have also been linked to racial and hate crimes since 2002. They used to be a relatively fringe group, but since Greece's bankruptcy, they have been gaining very strong support very fast.

They seem to be very closely mirroring the Nazi rise to power in the 1930s.

I feel as though healthcare professionals should get themselves teams of experienced programmers and work closely with them to create some sort of mobile app.
Re:As someone who has never coded before, how do I get started? on Thursday November 15, 2012 @09:44AM (#4788710)
Gosh... I guess I really want to create my own programs rather than rely on whatever new project google or microsoft cooks up. I suppose you could say it's a personal project. Also, I would like to set up a basic knowledge of coding so I can begin to use scripts within my games. Currently I'm getting by in Blender without using Python, but my AI is severely limited.

I would like to have set the foundation of programming fundamentals via C/C++ one month from now. Any help is very appreciated!

How can I recover my hacked email account?

A number of years ago, I created an email account under yahoo. I lost track of it, and eventually I lost interest in it. Recently though, it has been sending emails to all of my contacts that I had in it. Yahoo is of no help, so I figured I would ask a techsmart group of people for help.
