Here's another one: Terry Pratchett's Death character is not evil. Nor good. It's just Him. But because of a fondness for kittens Death probably leans closer to good than evil...
I think you're confusing the CPU's internal memory cache with system memory. While GP may have phrased his post poorly when he said "how do you get 64GB ram working on a 32GB CPU" it's pretty straightforward to realize that what he really meant was "how do you get 64GB of system RAM working with a CPU that was only designed to address at most 32GB of system RAM".
The memory "in" the CPU which you later refer to as cache is built into the CPU by the manufacturer. It is a place where the queue of instructions waiting to be processed are stored. You can't alter this amount of memory nor can you manipulate its contents (other than by using low level tricks to invalidate or reload the cache, etc). It has nothing to do with system RAM which is where your program's code and data exist, on top the BIOS, drivers and your operating system.
Obviously some brains can process it, since some people are going around saying that there IS a threat. Therefore are you suggesting that there are actually two types of brain - the ones that can process it and the ones that can't? Wait, I can see what the next move is. Obviously we need to organize these brains in some sort of hierarchy and call one type superior and another type inferior. Perhaps if the inferior brains are unable to perceive the threat, then they should be censored somehow, and the decision making be left to only the superior brains... etc. Wait this is not a new argument. What does it remind me of again?
You're implying that women's bitchiness is inversely proportional to penis size. This fails to account for - single women who are very bitchy, single women who are not bitchy at all, lesbians who are usually bitchy, despite the use of large dildos and strap ons, etc.
Long story short - while you might have been moved to post through personal experience, correlation is not causation!
That's why I like filling databases with garbage. The joke's on the people who actually pay money for such corrupt data. Oh well, caveat emptor.
Anyway my specs might be:
Intel Core i7-4470K, Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI, 64GB RAM, 3TB storage on SSD's and a couple high end graphics cards, or maybe I just copy pasted most of this stuff from some gamer website.
Call me when you see people killing each other over the validity or not of the Big Bang theory.
No one has to "respect" science. Anyone who claims that science is infallible does not understand science at all. What children are taught is the scientific method which is easy to understand and stands for itself. Observation, questioning, hypothesis, experimentation, checking to see if your experiment falsifies your hypothesis or not. That's it. There is no more than this.
The method is quite perfect - it has to be, because it is a logical model. The humans who apply it are far from perfect. Science is open to perjury and falsification. And when no one bothers to reproduce experiments because of either apathy, cost, or the convoluted nature of the subject, fantastic claims can be made and can stand for a long time without challenge. But even in the most ludicrous scientific claim there is some grain of truth. At some point even if the hypothesis is wrong, the initial observation had to exist because science is about trying to explain the world we can observe around us.
Religion on the other hand tries to create a reality from a fantasy. It starts with something that does not exist, and then tries to justify it.
If at first you don't succeed... anyway no one has come close to "trying". They just played with the idea for a little. SpaceX could actually launch these satellites using their unsold cargo capacity on paid flights. SpaceX paying just the fuel cost to do the project is much different than say Google having to pay for entire launches.
Why would you need to vent the steam to the atmosphere? Steam will move something along a pressure differential, all you need is high pressure on one side and low pressure on the other. You can collect your low pressure steam, condense it and feed it right back into your boiler/reactor. Even better is you have a whole ocean full of water that you can use for cooling/condensing via counter-current heat exchange.
And considering the diminishing returns you get from your screws because of drag being a square function, cavitation increasing with rpm, etc, that power difference can easily be created by going a knot or so less than full speed. It takes a lot more power to push a boat from 30 to 31 knots than from 0 to 1 knot, unless it's a hydrofoil...
Or on television. Or in the cinema. Or in books. Or in plays. Why just single out video games? We live in a society where violent murder is more socially acceptable for public consumption than nudity.
You need a lot more power to push something the mass of an aircraft carrier through water at over 30 knots than what one or two catapults would require. Seriously, not on the same scale at all.
Unfortunately it works the way the money says it does. I wouldn't be surprised if the Canadian government suddenly sees the light and is persuaded to enforce criminal charges on VPN streamers. After all, who knows what other dirty little tricks they are getting up to on their VPNs. They're probably all terrorists anyway.
Yeah you'd think these media giants would come out with their own streaming services instead of trying to fight the tide. Old-school top down TV is dead. People are sick of their shows being time-slotted according to some arbitrary station policy, are sick of having to wait weeks for the "next episode", are sick of not being able to re-watch a favorite episode and are sick of ads. Internet streaming is the future. Adapt or die.
Why is this suddenly "stealing" if you are in Canada? It's the same content, and the content makers are getting the same money.
Because Bell Media which owns a television statement and has paid money for episodes of, say, Futurama, is pissed off that you can watch Futurama in Canada via Netflix and not only do they not get a cut, but they don't get to claim you as an ad viewer so they can bilk I mean charge their ad customers for you.
They are a middleman, a dinosaur, and part of a broadcasting system that is increasingly irrelevant. If anyone is "stealing" it's these middlemen that produce no content and add no actual value, yet manage to slink their hand in your pocket every month.
How tough are slander laws in Canada? She just called legitimate Netflix subscribers thieves. I think she should be prepared to have some evidence of theft being committed, or face the consequences in court.
I dunno, I have to use a VPN for Netflix from Panama. But Netflix doesn't seem to be picky about the VPN and lets it slide. Amazon Prime used to work, except now they've tied it to a "us based credit card" only. Hulu detects the VPN and won't stream, because everyone knows that only terrorists want to watch movies. Tell me again how region locking - which essentially turns away customers - is supposed to increase sales?
a kernel mode IO monitor that allows you to assign disk IO permissions to processes
But that's not white-listing at all, right? Sigh, I hate marketing sperg. Anyway I bet this thing can be hacked/defeated within 10 hours of it going "mainstream" and real people having their hands on it.

You buy a CPU that can only address 32GB of memory?
Good question and good catch. 64 bit OS, I actually have 32 GB of RAM. And Alzheimer's apparently.

Ahh, to include the data or not to include?
There is no pro Microsoft bias on slashdot. /sarcasm

It's ok if they sack people but tell me - do they actually stop doing the things they weren't supposed to be doing? No, they just bury them deeper.
Not only do they not know, the sad thing is they don't care.
On a hot day it would give totally new meaning to the term "vaporware".
You'll be safe. Trust Microsoft. They know about security. When they promise it, they promise it.

And Alfa Romeo's dominance of the car market is why it's so hard to find a certified Alfa Romeo mechanic, or Alfa Romeo parts for that matter...
