What's the general price comparison versus features between the Nano, Fury, and 300 series? AMD's site is not great for looking at all that.

Here (canadian)? Let me check Newegg.ca
Nano is approx. 850-900 dollars
Fury is 750-850
390 is about 450
390x is about 550

(assuming this question is directed towards my perdiciment).
That puts the 390 about the same price as the GTX 970, so if I want to go AMD that'd be my best bet I think. Will have to check reviews on it. Still at the top of my price range.

$US Nano seems to be around $600-700. R9 390 is $300-350. That still says little about what you're getting at double the price.

I'm somewhat interested in a new card and would get a GTX960 or equivalent because it's in my price range, under $200.

wow, thought I had a hard-drive failure. was pissed I lost a lot of downloads etc. Plugged it into an external HD case and it works fine. Happy feeling, I guess I just had a cable failure or something!

The Fury Nano offers near Fury performance with half the power consumption and card size. It's designed for small-form factor cases. It's a niche card that something Nvidia doesn't have.

Any idea to tell what just burnt up in my computer? I was trying to get the power switch connected to the motherboard(one of the least intiuitive things I've ever seen), finally think I get it right, and turn it on. It immediately powers off, followed by smoke coming out of the fan port located under the bottom side of the motherboard and a horrible smell.

So far as I can tell, everything else was connected properly. As long as the power supply, the hard drive, and those goddamned power pins are okay, everything should be fine since I just acquired replacements for everything else. It burned up while trying to put the old setup back together.


EDIT: I figured out what I did wrong, I accidentally plugged something somewhere else where it most certainly does not go. Unfortunately, I still don't know what is destroyed. While the mobo lights do come on when the power is connected, actually turning it on via the front power switch does not work.

EDIT2: Narrowed it down to either the graphics card, or the part of the motherboard where the PCI and PCI-e slots are. Probably the latter, the graphics card shows no sign of burning, and none of the fans on that part of the board spin. The WiFi receiver in one of the PCI slots is supposed to also light up, which it doesn't, and changing PCI-e slots with the graphics card did nothing.

Either way, there's no point in worrying about it anymore. All I'm waiting for is a IDE-to-SATA adapter(for the old hard drive) which I've already ordered, then I can put all the shiny new stuff in. And hopefully not screw that one up.

Is there any way to get the "random entry" button on Wiktionary to only show tesults from a specific language?

As it it it's pretty useless.

If you set the interface to a different language you seem to get the random choices in that language: they have a different URL for the random link. e.g. when in Italian mode you get this random link rather than the normal one:

https://it.wiktionary.org/wiki/Speciale:PaginaCasuale
It's under "Un lemma a caso" in the interface

So how do I get them just in english?

So you're sating it can't be done on Wiktionary then?

Also can anyone recommend a good drawing program for Android that's free not either defective or crippleware.

I tried autodesk but it keeps cropping off significant portions of what I've drawn when I try to save the file.


RELATED ISSUE:
Is there any way to get google play store to filter out all applications that either cost money, use ads, have in-app purchases and/or connect to the internet in any way not related to web-browsing? I absolutely don't want any of than and I'd appreciate not having to slog throuh it to get to the things I might actually consider using.

EDIT:
Related note: can anyone point me tp a better app-store for android? One with better filtering options and that preferably isn't officially affiliated with the maker of any major OS, even if it has a significantly smaller selection.

[Aklyon]

I'm fairly sure that is too specific for the very simple filtering the mobile app store has. Last I looked, you had 'paid apps' section, 'free apps' section, and subdivisions for 'top paid/free' and 'newest paid/free'. You could also search by name.

Either see if the amazon appstore has your filters, or go look up some app reviews. Probably easier than finding something with the filters you want.

One more thing I need help with. I'm not even 100% sure how to explain this

On my android phone my broswer ("Pale Moon", a fork of "Firefox") keeps losing track of what page it's tabs are supposed to have loaded. That is to say, sometimes I'll switch from one tab to another and when I switch back to the firat tab it will no longer be loaded to the page I left it on, instead it'll be reloading some page that I looked at in that tab two hours ago, or even whatever webpage it was opened to when I first opened that tab.

Is there any way to stop it from doing this?

Also, on a Windows 8 tablet, is there any way to make the onscreen keyboard automatically pop up whenever I select a box where I can input text (and preferably also disappear when I move focus to something else)

It should do that on its own, not that the built in keyboard is any good. PortableApps has a touch keyboard with more options that is free.
