Secret to success in programming

Ah, now i got it. Thats why i am not successfull. I still work with my 17" LCD and befor that i worked with a 14" CRT.

But opcode mnemonics are shorter then ThisCommandDoesSomethingAwesome(), so you need less space.

Of course you can start with a small display, we all did. After you made the first million
and you get older you want a more comfortable workplace, i am quite sure.

It's two 17", at 1280x1024.

And it's the reason why I keep renewing my digitalblasphemy account every couple of years

I think I have the same Monitor as Netmaestro.

It felt so huge when I first got it, but now I want bigger...


I saw a great Plasma TV on sale at Walmart after Christmas, and then I found out the hard way that it only did 1024x768... It was like a 43" or something!

My brother's old LCD TV he gave me when he got a new one, can do 1360x768 at least, but the picture still feels too big at that resolution His new TV can do 1920x1080 PC input *cry*.

A nice 27" LED Monitor would be nice, that seems to be as large as they come these days (for consumers).

I just broke down and bought a 23" LED flat screen monitor. I haven't done away with my current monitor(It's a 17" CRT, no kidding) because I'm too scared of the new one!
Actually, I am putting together a nice budget machine because my current one can't handle anymore of my homemade repairs.
The 4 pin power connector on the motherboard burned up and melted. I ended up replacing it with some home materials. The PSU had the same burns/melting as the motherboard but I never tried replacing that.
I don't want to soil my new monitor with an old system that runs a Athlon x2 64 6000+ processor, 3gb of ddr2 ram and some random ASRock motherboard that supports am2/am3 processors.

Love the processor, it's very durable but the motherboard.. Worse investment ever. At least it lasted a year.

The new system cost $330. I couldn't decide on an FM2 or AM3+ socket since intel obviously is not meant for budgets.
Went with Am3+ because I'm not a fan of integrated components but am still extremely curious as to how they perform.

[edit] I need to upgrade from a lawn chair to a nicer model

The most talented programmers I know, or have heard of, all use low-end equipment, and are mostly into RCE and exploit development. I think genetics like exceptional analytical and mathematical skills, are what makes great talent. The rest of us just try to keep up.

The math part of programming and RE are what make Russian, European, Arab, and Asian hackers so productive. You can tell who adopts a genetic edge in these fields, like with physics and other sciences..

My device of choice is "Personal Action Profiler & Event Recorder", or failing that an IBM 1620.

An indispensable tool indeed, although mine are

But for full read/write capability you'll need an Error Recovery And Surface Entity Re-adjuster

All you really need is a Computed Overclock Flip-Flop Eprom Expansion

Yes, that too.

All you really need is a Computed Overclock Flip-Flop Eprom Expansion

And definitely lots of that!
