A tiling system is useful, and it's omission by default from all the major systems is irritating, but for general use a windowed system is a much more efficient use of limited screen space as it allows you to overlap and only show the all of a window when it is in use.
Microsoft Z has been found to contain feature X, which purports to do Y but used incorrectly could instead cause W! Linux has had feature X since 20VV, the 'Year of the Linux Desktop'.
Someday I'd like to have a system where I have enough RAM to turn-off HDD caching completely.
The only system where it makes sense to disable swap space is a system with no HDD at all.
Why would you prevent your operating system for accounting for the possibility of filling all that RAM? Do you really think the OS is trying it's hardest to make your computer go slower?
The BBC are indeed head and shoulders the best broadcaster in the world. I'm happy to pay the license fee and I just hope the damn Tories don't try and cut it back.
Probably would be the best thing would be to let them fend for themselves. Sending them money and aid isn't going to do anything for them. Violence and corruption have become a way of life for them. They don't see anything wrong with having to accept bribes are shooting at people that have something you want. That is just the way they do things there. It has been done that way so long they just think its the way it is.
Neither 1 nor 2 is an argument for not using java, and 3 isn't really applicable as not only is it optimised for it's own version of java, but you have the option of writing C anyway.
Hah, this bug tripped me up when I was working on twitter integration. Fortunately my powers of mathematical intuition can spot powers of two at +-2147483648 metres.

You're missing the point; I know that within cryptography, the terms refer to something specific. However, the meaning 'within cryptography' is not what the majority of people would think when reading the phrase, leading to confusion when people who aren't cryptographers try and understand what the issue is.
I'll concede that I didn't do a very good job of saying what I meant in my previous post though:P

Can I see where you're getting those stats from please?
When he says no correlation, that doesn't mean none at all. There can be some following the pattern and still be no correlation overall.

Ubuntu drains my battery much faster than Win 7.

Ah, my fault, I read "increased speed in loading times" XD
And when your program is large enough that all the things it needs can no longer simply fit in RAM? What then?
A system where you're running entirely from ram *is* one with no HDD, really, isn't it?
Sorry, I'm confused. Your post seems to support disabling it while the article you quote is pretty ardently against it?

Quite right, too! Lazy bastards.
That Obama is practically a COMMUNIST, I tell you!

I even joined a facebook group.
A definition where Christianity is a dogmatic religion, of course.
You're just plain wrong if you think the poor are lazier than the rich in any meaningful way.

This is America right?
Didn't they kill all the natives?
*uses dogmatic definition of Christianity*
*accuses Christians of being dogmatic*
Oh shit, not the problem of evil! Damn, it's a good thing you brought this up man, religion is doomed now!
It's a joke about them doing it with no oxygen, those of you with no humour gland.

Damn you Microsooooft!
I agree, but the statement is still ambiguous, which is what encourages misunderstanding from people who aren't up with their cryptography.
