There are three cases where I might be interested in acquiring a new machine:

1. My old machine no longer works.

2. I find something cool for cheap like an old Symbolics keyboard or a Xerox Dorado.

3. The power of the FREE MARKET creates something where the marginal benefit outweights the marginal cost. (e.g. I am looking forward to finally getting a display larger than my 30" DELL in a few years, also to a new chair cause this one is not very comfy)

The third being the most rare.

Please discuss physical machines, their acquisition, and such matters in this thread.

I prefer psychological machines.

I prefer finite-state machines.

I bought a new machine with a latest-gen Intel CPU and a decent graphics card because I like simulation racing and I use a source-based distro.

Hopefully the Sepples committee won't propose some feature like metastandardtemplatebacktracking that will make compile times even fucking worse than they are already.

where the fck you found a Symbolics keyboard??

Another reason I bought a new machine is the current state of le Web 3.0. Can't browse pixiv/danbooru with a 10 year old Pentium anymore. Apparently you need at least 4GB of RAM and a quad-core CPU to be able to have 20 (simultaneously) open tabs that amount to 30MB worth of Touhou porn and 1MB of HTML tags.

Don't hold your breath. They're proposing that stuff like Cairo be part of the next version of Sepples ( http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2013-December/024858.html ), so anything is possible

FUCK

I can't believe they are actually considering this. At this rate, C++ will be unimplementable in its entirety by 2020.

When will the madness end?

I want Herb Sutter to spontaneously catch fire and jump in a lake full of AIDS-ridden nigger cocks.

?

Does anyone know where to get info on hardware reliability?

I would appreciate being able to sort e.g. every microprocessor on the market by TTL in miliseconds of operation (keeping heat etc. equal)

All physical or psychological machines are finite-state.
