However, last time I looked you couldn't turn off the one on the system volume, only reduce it to a megabyte or something.
XP gives you three radio buttons in th Virtual Memory settings: Custom size, System managed size, or No paging file. So yes, you can turn it off. It may complain that you won't get debugging info, but I just tried it on my test PC.
Older versions of windows will let you disable all paging files, but they can't actually run without one.
98SE can. I've disabled the page file, rebooted, defragged, enabled it & rebooted. No sweat.
So as long as you have enough real memory, there should be no problem running XP on an Intel-based Mac with no page file. But I can't test it since I don't have one yet.
If you've got a TiVo, set up a season pass for the news with "keep at most" set to one or two episodes.
I actually have 4 of those -- I get the 5, 6 & 10 p.m. local news on the station I watch the most, the 6 on a second station, the 10 on a third and the hour-long 9 o'clock on the fourth (with a low priority on the latter three in case I something I really want conflicts).
*sigh* The first post in this thread mentioning "uncanny valley" was at 1:32 -- 16 minutes before my post, the second to mention it. And there were several after.
And then you could refer back to the Texas Constitution, Article 7, Section 10, and remember that it calls for an agricultural and mechanical department of The University.
Oh! OK, I just reread the install notes. My mistake. Thanks.
I guess my sketchy memory had combined the two points "Do NOT share profiles between Mozilla and Netscape 6 or 7" and "Do not install over an old Mozilla version" to come up with "don't install two Mozilla-based browsers."
But that's wrong. If you're still reading at this point, install all you want!
Yeah, but even the new ones should have been tested before today and show a few votes. If these are like car odometers (as they should be), there'd be no (legit) way to reset the lifetime count. And I would think they'd have more than four old machines in the city, even if many were new.:)
The (democrat) mayor of Philly is now on TV saying this was all concocted to create confusion. A "false, malicious" report, he calls it.
Fox News (yeah, yeah -- keep reading) is reporting that the Philly district attorney checked out one of the 4 machines in question. She says they have 2 counters -- one for today and one for the lifetime of the machine. It's the lifetime that's showing votes.
Of course, one must wonder why they aren't *all* showing counts on lifetime.

The verb to drop has specific meaning w.r.t. databases.
There's an xkcd for that.
And imagine the teens' surprise and horror when they discover their parents aren't "sleeping" at all...
It's just Computrace.. Don't worry -- it will come back on its own.
Wrong, wrong. I'm using the 'Pro' version of Slashdot. In the Pro version, all grammar is corrected ... where I write in the correct answer
Ouch.
If there's an ouch there, those of us with the Pro version aren't seeing it.
It's on my other monitor?
Nope, that's email and Trillian.

Is it broken, or did someone spill a pot of Instant Slashdot on the server?
No.
It's pronounced "corrosion." See the FAQ. It means "lustful ferret" or something like that.

You're talking about the Uncanny Valley.

Hey, Charles! Long time no see.

I'm still right up the road at TYC, running the anti-spam rules there. On an Xserve.

I know you're not supposed to have two Mozilla-based browsers installed at the same time -- like Mozilla & Firefox.
Will this peacefully coexist with Firefox? I didn't see anything in a quick skim through the release notes.

I guess I won't be trying this at home. I'll have to check it out at work.
12 hours a day? Wow!
Yes, in Texas, "he needed killin'" is a valid legal defense.

The reverse was featured in today's Zits comic strip. It won't let you see your cube wall, but it can allow for undetected sleep at work.
Sorry, direct link won't work after today. But you can choose today's date (March 27) in the drop-down for two weeks or so.
