Thanks guys, I will go with Desktop :)

I have been using desktop computers since the beginning, when laptops where "thing of the riches" and even today when every college students carries a laptop than having a desktop. I understand it got lot of mobility. I am thinking of whether to build a new desktop or buy a laptop. There are few...

I have 6 years old computer with following config: AMD Athlon II X3 440 Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H MOBO Antec 430 Watts PSU (titled Earthwatts) non-PFC Kingston 2x 2GB Dual-Channel DDR3 RAMs 1 TB Samsung HDD intex 19" LCD monitor I have used it a lot, almost 10-20 hours a day in last 6 years...

I am building a rig and I already have a 3 months old APC Back-UPS (stepped-sine wave). I want to build the rig with Rayzen 3 and with a graphics card. I read here about UPS and PSU problems: https://www.techenclave.com/community/threads/of-psu-ups-pfc-and-sine-wave.49535/ OP on that thread...

Dude, there are so many for less than 5K at amazon

I did check RAM, one by one. No difference at all. PSU and GPU check have remained. Will do that and tell here.

Get Corsair or Antec, will solve all of your concerns

Why not Lenovo A6000 or Yu Yureka. at 5.5" yureka is much lighter and smaller, though I have not used it personally. I have used Android One from Karbonn and Spice and both are damn good. They never hang, you get instant GPS lock of your position and great call quality. They cost you around...

I do agree solving-problems is the major task that most programmers do. You missed the point though. This argument: "language is just a tool, so I will spend much time on solving problems rather than language's tools" is the cause of lot of bugs. In my experience, most software engineers solve...

You don't remember the variables and function signatures because of two reasons: You did not name them properly (read "Practice of Programming" by Kernighan and Pike) You did not follow any coding standard for writing function signatures (read "Practice of Programming" by Kernighan and Pike)...

Well, you can use Code::Blocks or Eclipse but the real question you need to ask yourself is why you want to have predictive text when you are writing C/C++ code ? Why not without predictive text ?

My Dear Bhoot, These reads are in no way outdated, and they will never be outdated. I know all those cries on words like BigData and Cloud Computing and what not but did you ever try to search in detail what is underneath all those marketing-MBA-hyped- words ? Search and you will know why...

Close your eyes and install Debian. I have used more than 20 distros in last 10 years and Debian is th eonly "Rock Solid" distro. Its packaging system (apt-get, aptitude), stability and ease of usage can't be matched. After using Debian for an year, start with Arch Linux
