Demand paging is the act of only loading the parts of an application that is needed at the time requested. If you've already loaded a file into memory because an application needed it but then freed that memory to make room for other stuff on the assumption that you would just load the whole file again when needed then that is not demand paging. That is just loading the file again. That is also an attack vector and poor memory management.
I have a first generation (2006) Mac Pro running 2x dual core 2.66GHz Xeons (that's four cores), 10GB of RAM, an NVidia GeForce 8800 GT w/ 512MB, and a 1TB striped RAID across 2 drives.
Everything runs perfectly, except Flash.
Are you telling me Flash needs more ponies than this machine?
I gave my mom my old WinXP PC after upgrading, the niece and nephew kept getting it infected with spyware and junk. I had to format that thing 4 times over 3 years. Every month something would be wrong with it.
I finally bought her a mac mini 4 months ago. She called me once because after changing the batteries in her wireless keyboard she forgot to hit the reconnect button.
I've had an iphone 3G since launch, I stream radio every day, I browse, have push exchange email, use a ton of data apps, even used PC tethering in a pinch, and I have never gone over 300MB/mo. I have a 6 GB/mo plan, so there's no reason for me to skimp. I just simply cannot break 300MB/mo no matter how much I use it.
How in the hell is everyone else going over 400MB/mo?
While i applaud companies that refund the microsoft tax, i do sort of see where lenovo is coming from. If i buy a car, i can't yank out the back seats and require a refund from the car dealer.
Unless they sell you the car, but stipulate that only persons aged between 19 and 20 can use the back seats, and only for approved uses. They inform you that use of the back seats is monitored and non-personally identifiable data may be sold, in aggregate to third parties. Ownership of the back seats may not be transferred so that when you sell the car the new owner must install his own back seats. Even though there are two seats, only one person may use the seats at one time. The seats will from time to time check with the manufacturer to make sure they are installed in the same car as you purchased, and if a discrepancy is found, they will not allow anyone to sit in them. They then inform you that if you don't like these terms, you can CHOOSE TO RETURN THE BACK SEATS FOR A REFUND.
The license agreement specifically states that if you do not agree with the EULA you can return it for a refund. Computer makers know this. Computer makers license it from Microsoft that way. Computer makers have to abide by it.
But don't you tell me about your right to Do-Over.
My right to a "do-over" is directly proportionate to the amount of money I pay to the providers of the service. It is a game, a game I pay for. I want the game masters to be able to correct mistakes.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the internets, I submit to you that UK law is retarded. To support my claim I submit exhibit A:
In Cummins v Bond, a psychic in a trance claimed to have written down what spirits told her, through a process of automatic writing. In court, she accepted that she was not the creative author of the writing. The creative input, had, presumably, come from the spirits. Nonetheless, the court held that she had exercised sufficient labour and skill in transcribing what the spirits had told her, and translating it, that she had a copyright in the literary work which resulted.
Capturing the color, detail and texture of a great painting is a difficult problem in both aesthetics and technology. It is not point-and-click photography. If you want to use these images the ethical thing to do is to ask for permission and credit them properly.
Does effort and skill make something copyrightable? No. Especially when that effort and skill is being used to make it seem like the cameraman never existed.
Regardless of the medium, copying a public domain work is not copyrightable in the same way that copying a copyrightable work does not make it a derivative work.
This is no longer the case with OS 3.0, although unless your iphone came with 3.0 on it you do have to connect it to a computer to update. Again, I don't see how this is a huge problem, or even a problem at all.
This argument makes no sense. Apple hasn't locked you out of anything. Apple made the software which syncs to their hardware, just like Microsoft makes the software (ActiveSync) that syncs to their windows mobile OS, and Palm makes the software that syncs to their hardware (Palm Desktop).
Other people can make other software, but you certainly can't expect the hardware maker to help or support the process.
S-E doesn't do late fees or interest either, I've played FFXI for years on and off. Those two complaints sounds like the plaintiff is mistaking their credit card company for S-E.
Barring that, the game crashes way too often. It's not just a server issue (which is a huge issue) but it is also a stability problem. I can flip a coin to figure out whether it'll actually load and let me play a training mission, sometimes it will, sometimes it won't.
It's pretty hilarious on all of the categories which are ties that Microsoft admits the other browsers are better, but then discounts the reasons why because, according to them, it turns out that the category doesn't matter for some reason or another so, it's a TIE!

You didn't, the OP which you are referring to did, and you agreed with him.

That's not paging.... That's just loading the file again...

4, oranges are 4 times as tasty as apples.
Notice they only admit that when they can show how piracy is still costing them money in some other way.

If you bothered to read the GP you'd know that he's Canadian.
In, or out, of Soviet Russia, quantum computers use you, or you use them. It's impossible to know until it is observed.

I rest my case.

Of course, this isn't legal advice.
Not with a 3G or a 3Gs.

Plaintiff: "Your Honor, we're suing defendant because they certified our credit card system as being PCI compliant, yet it was breached by hackers."
Judge to Defendant: "Is this true?"
Defendant: "Yes Your Honor, however being PCI compliant does not guarantee you will never be breached by hackers."
Judge: "Case dismissed!"
Self-delusion is all anyone really has. Otherwise you're a nihilist who accomplishes nothing because nothing matters.
If I don't lie to myself then I think nothing matters? I'm sorry, I don't buy your strawman.
Self delusion (religion) is never healthy.
