So MS recommends no more than 4 GB for the paging file. This is also the limit for 32-bit unsigned arithmetic, so there may very well be a limit to how much of the file Windows will use, and that limit may well be 4 GB.
So unless disk space is at a premium, just make your paging file 4 GB.
The Chinese deserve due credit for their achievements, in space. However, their government lacks any kind of credibility and that diminishes what has been accomplished.
It took them 40 years to catch up with the other superpowers in accomplishing this spacewalk, which should serve to amplify the effects of their oppressive regime and communist philosophy overall.
The Chinese news agency will fabricate whatever suits them, so any narrative going along with this accomplishment should be ignored. Their Olympics wowed us with their faked opening ceremony, underage athletes supported with government-supplied cover stories, biased judging and who knows what else that went undetected.
How much slave labor is used in their space program is unknown. How much stolen and misappropriated technology they've used is unknown. How many people that were sickened, injured or killed by the hazardous materials and working conditions prevalent in their space program is unknown. But we already know that the authoritarian state of China would forbid dissemination of this information, and we know that there's no reason to believe that these kinds of sufferings of their people have not ceased. This is what tempers our enthusiasm for their achievement.
Not at all. Unless you are buying at the IPO. the money exchanged on the stock market for shares in a company don't go in or out of the company at all. At the IPO, it's not a theory - your money spent on IPO stock (less fees) goes directly into the company's coffers. The only side-effect of the current price for a public company's stock is that it affects the value (either positive or negative) of warrants.
Trading warrants doesn't affect the company at all, but exercising a warrant does - the exercise price of the warrant goes to the company, regardless of the current value of the stock. So if you have a $5 warrant for a stock trading at $50, you can get a share of the stock by paying the company $5, or you can just trade the warrant, which has a value of $45. Out of the money warrants (e.g. warrant strike price above current stock price) are worthless, except for their speculative value.
The point is, it's inaccurate to say it can't happen because the deep ocean is cold. There could well be some other geological effect happening down there which is causing either a localized thermal event or some sort of widespread discharge of previously buried material.
People have been soldering with tin/lead solder for over 100 years. All you need to do is maintain basic hygiene - wash your hands after handling. The idea that old tin/lead based electronics are now "hazardous waste" is a joke, and counter-productive. Landfill will have lead in it from a variety of sources, no matter what. Deal with it.
The joke is that around here you can no longer put any electronics at the curb for municipal pick up. The result? People put out their old TVs and VCRs anyway, they sit by the side of the road until passers by smash them up and toss the pieces around the neighborhood. Now instead of concentrating this "hazardous material" in a landfill, it's spread around a residential area. Great thinking.
You do know that the hottest water found in nature is in the depths of the ocean, don't you? Superheated water turns to steam at 100C at the surface of the earth, but this same water released at the "depths of the ocean" are under intense pressure so the boiling point is much higher.
There are many places in the world where methane oozes from the surface. In some places, they support an open flame. This story is interesting, but it's probably just nature doing what nature does.
I guess all you can understand is a tirade, but that's not what I presented. I made a distinction between the people responsible for their technical achievement and those in the government that control communications. Maybe you'd be happier if I just lumped everyone together and called them all "chinks".
As for the Olympics, don't you find it statistically interesting that the host country did so well? It's not about "winning" even though the USA did win more medals than China. I've been on the planet long enough to have seen quite a few Olympic competitions, and this one was chilling. The media was in fear of being ejected or excluded from coverage so the on-site commentary had blinders on. The pre-teen Chinese gymnasts were just the tip of the iceberg in an Olympics where the host country would do whatever needed to be done to win - it was their national imperative.
Our early satellite program was conducted by non-military groups, which were quickly surpassed by the Army group which had the assistance of the German scientists which surrendered to the USA at the end of WW II. Eisenhower wanted our first orbital satellite to be a non-military project, which is why we were second into orbit. But after the formation of NASA, the Von Braun team was integrated into this non-military agency. So it's clear from our own well-documented history that the USA did not succeed as it did completely on its own. Our triumphs were disclosed as well as the failures. And while the worker safety and environmental standards of the day are not as stringent as they are today, the USA space program was run pretty much as any other industrial project. With the exception of the astronauts themselves, no human lives were unduly risked. Can anyone that knows anything about China say the same?

Target Stores sometimes paint their logo on the roofs of their locations. I don't know if they do it for the sake of Google Maps, but it's quite visible. Here's one from a store in Chicago:
But what makes it a telltale window is if there is a "yes" and "no" button. If there's just a "yes" button, the dialog is pointless and extraneous. If there's a "yes" and "no" button, it could be a system permission dialog that has been tampered with. Think about it, system dialogs that have a "yes" also have a "no" or "no" and "cancel". If there's just "yes", that means a program has already created the dialog, and if it can create a custom dialog it's also in control.
So if passing grade is 60 (as indicated), all I need is a 70 for the first half of the course and I can take off for the rest of the year and still pass. If that was the policy when I was in school, you bet I would have taken advantage of it.
the summary is incorrect. Sellers can accept payment methods other than PayPal, but they may not promote them in their auction ads. If a buyer asks if a check or money order is acceptable, the seller is free to accept it. Totally stupid.
Last.fm may be good, but here's the Pandora summary for why it played a particular song (James Taylor's Handy Man):
the song features pop rock qualities, folk influences, a subtle use of vocal harmony, use of string ensemble, major key tonality, a vocal-centric aesthetic, a good dose of acoustic guitar pickin' (sic) a dynamic male vocalist, electric pianos, acoustic rhythm guitars, romantic lyrics...
While a sophisticated computer may be able to detect some of these characteristics, I stand by my comment.
Yes, and this manifests itself in the Pandora music service. Their music qualification system is quite sophisticated, taking into account not only the musical performance, but historical details of the period and songwriter/performer. It would be a very long time before a computer could perform as intelligently.
Now some sort of alternate front end to the MGP database would solve the problem outlined by TFA.
The cap may be reasonable, but Comcast doesn't give the consumer any tools to monitor their 250 GB budget. So heavy downloaders may just get a notice that they are "over" at any time, and they will have no way of telling if it's legit. Nor would any prudent customer go anywhere near the 250 GB limit for fear of going "over".
Imagine if cell phone minutes worked that way. Everyone gets 1000 minutes, but we won't tell you how many minutes you're using, and if you go over more than once, we turn off your service for a year. Wow.
Bubba can be black or white. In the 70's, there was Bubba Smith, a big-ass black NFL hall-of-famer.
Bill Clinton's nickname (at least a nickname that's said to his face) is Bubba. Jimmy Buffet's nickname is also Bubba. And then there's Bubba from Forrest Gump...
But where is your indignation about Sandra Bernhart's recent statement threatening her with being "gang raped by my big black brothers". But for the hypocritical haters on the left, the stereotyping and threats of rape and violence are mere entertainment.
Um, it's not up to Palin to press charges or drop charges. This was a criminal offense, and Palin's testimony is not likely needed to prosecute him.
Considering how in his "confession" he went in to try to find information to "ruin" her, and that he disseminated her children's private photos, phone numbers and email addresses, I hope she goes for blood as any good mom would. The little punk's elected Democrat representative father taught him well.
Plenty of evidence. The most compelling is the purely circumstantial fact that Palin's email password was changed to "popcorn", and the guy under investigation's name is... Kernal. Har.
Gee, a reasonable person might interpret "CONFIDENTIAL" as a private, personal message, which is what they turned out to be. You people look stupid grasping at straws like that.
No, the "whole reason" Palin used a Yahoo account for her personal mail is to avoid using government servers for personal affairs. Imagine the fake indignation if they found personal messages on her government account. They would all be saying how she was stupid for not using a Yahoo account for her personal emails.
I place the blame on the Secret Service for not locking down all these accounts in advance, especially with the intense interest in digging up dirt on the candidate.
The whole thing patches a design flaw in the iPhone. My ancient Motorola flip phone had a small auxiliary LCD on the outside that had indicators for new messages, time, signal strength, etc. The iPhone lacks an auxiliary ambient-light-readable LCD so it's a step backwards. All they are doing is reducing the number of manual operations required where the "prior art" required none. Lipstick on a nice shiny pig. I like my iPhone but I'm surprised at the basic phone ease of use features that it still lacks.
