Everything except impeachment, also civil liability can't be excused (so Libby can still be sued into and beyond poverty), and contempt-of-court charges can't be pardoned either.
And even better, on page 1 of that same thread, from one of the devs:
If you want to change your system settings to enable three gigabyte mode you're completely on your own.
Personally I looked up how to do this and tried it on my Vista machine. And broke it. I had to go through a Vista recovery process to make it work again. This is not a change for casual users, or even experienced users, to risk doing. Just use Vista 64 instead and get a full four gigabytes.
The reason MS does not ship Vista like this is there may be some bad drivers out there that make assumptions that the kernel has two gigabytes and the applications get the other two. Vista 64 is definitely the way to go.
Running at very high resolutions and anti aliasing settings
Due to the limited address space of Vista 32 if trying to run at very high resolutions and/or anti aliasing settings the driver may consume so much virtual address space the application crashes. Running with -novsync for performance testing will disable triple buffering to recover a tiny bit of memory, but the best solution is to run Vista 32 set to give applications three gigabytes of virtual address space or to just run Vista 64 which gives all 32bit applications a full four gigabytes.
People might as well go for it though, seeing as RAM is so gosh-darned cheap right now.
A year ago I wouldn't have considered running more than two gigs of RAM in any given application, seeing as 32-bit memory-mapped I/O would've limited me to 2.8GB anyways. Now I'm running 4GB on Vista x64 and loving it, no software compatibility issues stemming from x64 whatsoever.
A bit of googling can resolve that whole "can't use unsigned drivers in Vista x64" thing as well.
Now you say a bug needs to be addressed in COH to make it run right on Vista x86. As I understand it, it isn't a bug with the software, it's simply running into a limitation of 32-bit computing. Memory-mapped I/O starts at the top and works its way down, but as it can only operate within 4GB of address space, it leaves you with about 2.8GB of total addressable memory (pagefile settings have no effect here, once you hit ~2.8GB, you run out of addresses, period) and 2GB per process (naturally leaving you with ~800MB once a process has filled up its 2GB space assuming the inevitable out-of-memory crash hasn't yet occurred). Attempting to exceed those limits is what's causing the crashing.
If COH ultimately ended up requiring more than 4GB of memory, then it would crash in the same manner on Vista x64 if it's not compiled as a 64-bit application. Again, it's a limitation of memory addresses, not the process itself.
So do you get to read the manual before deciding whether to purchase the phone? If not, and I have to assume this is not the case for this to be "news" in the first place, the "I told you so" argument doesn't work.
Product manufacturers need to make it blatantly clear whether their hardware works on x64, rather than simply stating that it "works" on XP and Vista, because it's automatically assumed that it works on XP and Vista regardless of whether it's x86 or x64 (like pretty much everything else that works on both). Telling the consumer they need to downgrade to make it work shouldn't be an acceptable response either.
If a newly-released product required you to downgrade from Windows XP to Windows ME in order to use it, would you find this acceptable?
If you're not willing to spend lots of money up front on a printer, then they gouge you on the cost of ink. Throw out the damn inkjet and spend $400 on a color laser printer. The printer will pay for itself within half a year on cost per page alone.
You don't even have to ask most sites. Just punch in the person's email address in the "forgot password" form page and see if it corresponds to a registered member's email address. If it's not in the database, you'll get an error. If it is, they'll get a reset password email that they never requested.
Yeah, but who holds the government responsible when it screws up? The people? Pfeh. The people are trapped in the cycle of replacing assholes from one side with assholes from the other.
As opposed to an oligarchy of working-class assholes telling us what to do. Yeah. Great improvement. You replace one oligarchy of assholes with another, and the only difference is you are likely among that group.
You have no right to be fed, you have no right to be clothed, you have no right to a roof over your head, and you have no right to good health. None of those are considered inalienable rights, and an alienable right is not a right, but a privilege, and in the case of socialism, privileges to be granted and denied by the all-powerful Godlike State. To put it simply, socialism is State-worship. Yours is a secularized theocracy, instead of priests divining the will of God, you have bureaucrats divining the will of the State. And for what, "the greater good?" How is your greater good also my greater good? I would be asking you the same question if we replaced the phrase "the greater good" with the word "salvation." It's ultimately the same damn thing. Socialists only seek to become the infallible masters of a secular theocracy, and to hell with the rest of us.
Libertarians don't want to economically enslave others, rather, libertarians don't want to have to put up with being afforded privileges by a state. Libertarians don't want the state telling them what they can and cannot do with themselves. Libertarians want to be able to do anything they damn well please (and can afford) so long as the non-aggression principle isn't violated. In an ideal world, there would be no "libertarian state," because libertarians would have no need for one. In the real world, the "ideal libertarian state" is one that protects its constituents from external aggression (I specifically state "aggression," and not "threats," for the obvious implications of the latter) while remaining neutral on internal disputes (so long as those disputes don't infringe upon the non-aggression principle). You could, theoretically, form your own socialist enclave within a libertarian state and so long as you didn't attempt to force your system upon others, they'd let you assert your right of self-determination. If the roles were reversed, I seriously doubt a socialist state would allow the formation of any movement contrary to "the greater good."
But is it Verizon's responsibility to inform customers as to how they might save money, or the customer's responsibility to look for ways to save money?
Ultimately the customer's the one signing the contracts and paying the bills, so if the customer doesn't do that research, is it unconscionable for Verizon to charge the rates at which the customer agrees to?
If they actually paid attention to their cellphone bill, all it would take is a phone call to customer service to add prepaid txt messages for a fraction of what they'd pay after the fact.
That or they could just take away the phone, but this way everyone's happy.
Hahahahaha, you give Congress the excuse to get their grubby mitts on this and they'll only make the situation worse, like they do with everything else they're asked to "fix."
It's not "idiotic," it's smart business practice. If you have a practically guaranteed chance of success in suing someone out of business, you don't sue them when you have nothing to gain.
Personally, I'm hoping more for being able to find a Gigabyte iRAM locally now that in a couple of days I'll have about 2GB in 512MB sticks left over after a RAM upgrade.
That's the kind of thing a pagefile should be mapped to - a ramdisk.;)
It's flash-based, so I would think the energy savings from not having to constantly run a hard drive's motor would lengthen battery life just with the batteries as they are now.

64-bit Vista drivers don't explicitly have to be signed. Just load a command prompt with elevated privileges, and enter this command:
/set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

If it's the truth, then I have no problem with the gloating.

Derision and threats are two very different things.
People just need to learn to stop taking things out of context.
Waitasec, you want Congress to fix something?

On the contrary, it's your patent, you should be allowed to enforce it whenever the hell you damn well please.
That or Microsoft has never heard of pseudonyms.
Gigabyte iRAM
It's technically a ramdisk because it's storing data in RAM sticks, yet the RAM is seen by the system as a SATA drive.
Personally, I'm hoping more for being able to find a Gigabyte iRAM locally now that in a couple of days I'll have about 2GB in 512MB sticks left over after a RAM upgrade.
