That's complete bullshit. If you purchased the 32 bit version of Vista, you can go on the Microsoft website and order the 64 bit version for a little more than the cost of shipping. Or you can just buy 64 bit to start with - there's no price difference between the 32 bit and 64 bit editions.
PAE was available in Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Datacenter Server. Windows 2000 predates 64 bit windows. Microsoft has been playing this game for a long time, and only recently has a legal way around it become available to Windows users. If you are stuck on 32-bit Windows for driver compatibility, you are still SOL.
People who typed "en." to bring up the last few times they'd visited en.wikipedia.org, "fi" to bring up the last few times they'd visited "finance.google.com", or "fa" for either "fark.com" or "failblog.org",... Firefox Design Team wants the "Location" bar to deal with "everything you ever visited, ever, with ever-changing menus".
If the location bar only scanned URL strings, you'd still have the problem of changing menus. Whenever you visit a site beginning with the same text as a previously visited site, the suggestion menu would change.
Assume the Finland price for all of western Europe - and we pay 5x the cost for something 5x as expensive to provide... People don't realize how large the US is.. and that most plans now days there is no roaming from sea to sea.. thats alot of area to provide for..
Hmm, a well intentioned line of thought. Now let me show you the real deal:
Norway's population density is 31/sq mi, less than half that of the US. In terms of population density, Norway ranks 211th of all the world's countries. Nonetheless, I receive 3G service in a boat a kilometer off the coast of Hitra, an island with a population of less than 5,000. I had continuous coverage on the eight hour drive from GjÃrvik to Trondheim, including in windblasted high mountain tundra that receives many meters of snow in the winter.
Are you sitting down? If not, prepare yourself: my unlimited Telenor data subscription costs less than my 5GB/month Verizon plan in the states.
Yeah, that's right. Cell plans in the US are a FUCKING RIPOFF.
Will we collectively burn our required government healthcare cards?
*smirk*
Just like we burn our required government schools, required government roads, required government FDA... Have you suffered severe cranial trauma recently? Might want to have that checked out.
You're paraphrasing Iranian government propaganda. Do you really believe that the west is behind the protests? That's just an excuse for opening fire on protests and silencing dissent.
I've heard this at least once a year since 1989. I think I'll keep budgeting to upgrade my pc every couple years, thank you.
It is the cache coherency and memory bandwidth problems with existing architectures that are the problem
Multicore designs do much to address this. Intel's latest core integrates a memory controller and supports sharing L3 cache across cores.
It should be clear that there has been very little serious investment in basic compiler technology and that is now needed
What sort of basic improvements would qualify? Automatic vectorization and parallelism? Recent years brought us that, and the technology continues to improve. Take Intel's latest compiler for a spin - they update it regularly.
While a little doubt can't hurt, there's no reason to lament lack of advance when so much continues to improve so fast... Dry those tears and take a nap; by the time you wake up, the state of the art will have advanced.
Amen. The spammers from the ordinary personal adds are really dirty and urgently require cleaning of any kind. You'd think these guys are allergic to showers...
Competitions tend to be stressful affairs, and stress reactions can interfere with performance. Marijuana is an anxiolytic in addition to an anti-emetic.
I still fail to see how being driven away from anti-eavesdropping (but unauthenticated) communications to completely unencrypted AND unauthenticated communications makes people "safer"
Trusted third party signatures guard against man in the middle attacks by allowing verification that the private key used to encrypt data actually belonged to the expected individual or organization and not a criminal.
All of this depends on the good intentions and competency of the signature authority. In this specific case, Verisign is that trusted party.....................
Patch the code that checks the MBR. The code that checks whether the code has been patched has been patched already, evidently. With that out of the way, you're good to patch some more.
is the usenet. The usenet does not exist now, nor has it ever.
There is no large distributed system for human discourse that many horribly abuse to disseminate certain data and lossless music in a manner that presents virtually no risk to downloaders.
That's why p2p filesharing is so very big a deal that even the ABA thinks and rethinks thoughts about it. If such a thing like the usenet were to exist, those in the know would surely take all kinds of advantage of it, and p2p would be relegated to dilettantes and niche fetishes too severe or inhuman to warrant usenet posting.
The whatnet? The fuck you net, that's what. It. Doesn't. Exist.
The simple truth is that Ted Stevens has been sent back repeatedly because he is effective at ensuring that Alaskans get overrun as little as possible... Ted Stevens has never pretended to have any other mission in the Senate, in fact.
What about this whole net neutrality thing? Do they have a lot of internets in Alaska and does their not being neutral improve the lot of the average Alaskan?
I don't understand why a machine whose diagnostic app from the OS vendor lists 2.3 GB of free (available) RAM is relying on hard disk-based virtual memory for basic tasks
Looking at the system memory tab of activity monitor, do you see pages in / out increase drastically while you have lots of free memory? Do you actually see swap file usage?

Fox News has not programmed the righty slashdot majority to dislike this regulation.

stand alone in a room and note at minute intervals whether you feel impacted by wireless signals
have your wife randomly turn your laptop's wireless on and off, noting the time as she does so
if you take enough samples, you should see that you are correct about half the time. what you've experienced previously
"Is what he did sick and disgusting, and probably immoral and/or unethical?" To which the answer of course, is an obvious 'yes'.
It's an obviously doctored image; it can't possibly be any of those things.
Which part is offensive, the nude woman or the kid? That two innocuous things juxtaposed offends is interesting.
Perhaps those with a math background answer as I do because they also have learned to think correctly.

SSD is already cheaper per gig than some SAS drives. Also, 3-3000 times? What the hell sort of estimate is that?
what does this have to do with bush?
"fact: Wikipedia is not your research center. It is a place to start. If you are using it as a source for your research paper, you should get an F."
In this case, using contemporary, respected newspapers and periodicals would not save you from inaccuracy.
So, you shouldn't use those, either. In fact, you shouldn't use anything, ever, as there is no sure thing. Fact: no facts.
If the interface has to be approachable to a toddler, it might disappoint adults...

At a certain temperature, the lump starts to change into gaseous state. Then you start to change into gaseous state.

It's a betrayal of principals you neither understand nor respect.
Many developers contributed to this browser specifically to provide a non-restrictive, free, open source alternative to the commercial equivalents.
What do we get for our work? Bullshit restrictions and legalese in a motherfucking click through EULA.
I guess we can say goodbye to Olympic "Counter Strike" competitions.
LOL, "Olympic counterstrike," LOL.
I think that has about as much chance as Olympic Minesweeper.
I highly doubt cannabis would be beneficial

The question is, why would you want to run Vista?
is the usenet. The usenet does not exist now, nor has it ever.

Info regarding OS X paging.
a lot of them feel pretty safe applying that to their sole production server. This doesn't make them stupid or incompetent.
OK, obviously misusing a computer this badly can not make someone stupid.
That is probably a result of all the paint chips, lead solder, and tasty, leaky, salty batteries...
*sigh* At least it's easier to clean drool off an LCD screen.
make that last one "every five years"
