    a: not all at once, and b: it's still a 32-bit process that CANNOT address more than 4GB of memory at any given instant. All PAE does is extend the ability for the application to swap "out of range" banks in to the page table while keeping the content of the swapped-out banks intact. A 64-bit kernel doesn't need to do this as it already has the page bandwidth to deal with the extended page table, similarly for a 64-bit application. You can, therefore, run a 32-bit app in a 64-bit kernelspace but it will swap out as much as it did in the 32-bit environment the second it hits that 4GB limit. To stop the swapping, all you need to do is recode the app for 64-bit.

    incitement to commit adultery? How about wherever adultery is a criminal offence? Incitement is a criminal offence everywhere, the only defence to which being that you must be able to show one of the following:
    1. that the incitee is under the age of responsibility (Jackson P409)
    2. that the offence is nonexistent (a legal impossibility, such as if the incitement is made under the mistaken belief that the act is a criminal offence)
    3. that the act is impossible (to take an extreme example, penetrative sex with a minor by a person who does not possess a penis)

    Performance need not be immediate (Shephard [1919] 2 KB 125). The burden of proof is on the defendant to convince the jury that someone else made her do it.

    The AM hack did a lot of people a lot of favours. Where adultery gets you jailed or worse, you can produce the databases - one with your email and another with records of credit card transactions - and say "Look, a website made me do it!" ~

    in some designs the penny is the perfect weight for a pressure blow valve. This helps the stove to not explode when the internal gas pressure exceeds the ability of the stove wall to withstand it. The design I use is the single-wall with fluted inner acting as a gas jet and open top with pin breathing hole. This way the stove burns cold (it's doable) until you place the pan on top of it, as the internal pressure increases the flame grows and due to the construction it also burns hotter.

    I have heard of PAE but that doesn't help 32-bit applications which can still not address more than 4GB of memory. Or chipsets which are limited to 36-bit (including the NX bit), which is still for all practical purposes a hard 4GB limit for kernel and application software. Your 64-bit database is still going to hit that 4GB limit on a Pentium Pro (which was the first processor to ship with PAE, and yes it is still x86-32) even if the system itself is fully stocked with RAM (with the P6 the ceiling was 64GB addressable)
