Hey guys anyone know anythng about Flops? Mflop / Gflop and how much they cost??

"1- Estimate of the cost per MFLOP of an average, modern (2012) supercomputer, a desktop computer and a smart phone.
2- Compare the cost per MFLOP of any of the modern systems of Question 1 with that of the computing system on the first NASA spacecraft which landed on the moon."

Teacher asssigns reports on topics that you can't find any information on because they dont want to teach an intro class. If anyone knows any sites with information to the two questions I would really appreciate it, and return any favor they ask. Thanks

Is there any way to get rid of the screen tearing on Openbox? Running on Intel HD 3000 and the kernel drivers for it.

Pic somewhat related, I can't watch my Chinese cartoons with screen tearing

Whats /g/ stance on Arch Linux?
a friend with a medium-low specced laptop (a Dell with one of the earliest C2D and 2GB ram) wants to switch distro (he messed up with Debian for a while, then ended up with Ubuntu 11.04, but now wants to switch to something else) and I find myself not to much use of an advice since last time I ran a Linux-based distro was on a crappy old HP laptop running Ubuntu 8.10 and then Debian before getting a Macbook.

I think the solution for him *might* be Arch Linux, but as I said, its just a suggestion that came to my mind with the only argument being that its "sorta" light, but thats as far as my opinion goes, so, whats your take on it? Any other non-gentooian suggestions?

Thanks

How do you /g/eniuses use Linux as your daily driver?

I'm currently filling out a survey for a CompSci course I'm taking. Two years ago there where two or three girls. Last year there was but one girl (she was desperate). This year there is not a single girl. Twelve dicks in one class. Now the teacher is looking deduce why this is so.
Dubs decides what I write.

Make me proud /g/.
