Looking at the task manager shows the cache, which is ready to be freed and reallocated if needed.
Check out the resource monitor instead and you'll see the really free memory. My computer has 1 gig of RAM and the task manager shows it with 1 meg free, but the resource monitor ignores the cache and shows the more accurate value of ~500 megs.
Maybe the computers these days are too cheap. If you're not making enough money and this software is pissing people off, just remove the software and raise the price. It's not like most people are going to start building their own computers.
Remove the crappy software, raise the price, and sell the computer as a "premium" edition. People aren't going to stop buying computers.
I don't think they've been the victim of any lawsuits (yet). They appear to keep the site afloat by some gigantic banner ads. The site actually looks very good with adblock, otherwise it gets to be a little harder to read.
Actually, if you look at sites like puretna.com they have a list of video publishers whose videos you are not allowed to upload. I presume this is because they have been asked not to publish those torrents.
It just looks to me like the porn folks aren't quite as sue-happy.
The real reason that credit card fraud will continue is that there will always be people that want to steal from others. Security will slow it down, but just like wearing gloves while mixing chemicals, it really only reduces the damage to the things it protects.
The physics of the teleportation are pretty boring, but the fact that you can see through the portals and have an object go halfway through a portal are unusual.
I don't care enough about programming games to RTFA, but that could be something worth talking about. Chances are it's not what they're talking about, though.
The computer I use at work has a 2.4 GHz P4 and 1.5 Gb of RAM. It's surely not the fastest thing around, but it runs my IDE just fine and my work gets done without a hitch.
How would buying a screaming fast computer for work make my job any more profitable?
I've been looking forward to this game since it was announced for release on the Playstation! I'm just thrilled that it actually came out, although the demo was enough to prevent me from even renting the game.
How do you post at +2 with trolls like that? They may not dispense justice, but they can arrest and imprison you for days without filing charges. You get to be packed into a room full of real criminals for 72 hours while they figure out if you should even be charged or not.
But I guess since there are no crooked cops this is not a problem.
Give yourself structure. Make yourself a list of things you need to do every day. You could use paper, or be like me and get a $100 Palm Pilot. To me, mine is worth every penny. My list includes showering, walking the dog, getting haircuts, going to job interviews, getting my car inspected, paying my taxes, and pretty much every other thing I need to do.
Other things are make sure your hygiene is good. Shower every day if you can. Get exercise. Ride your bike for half an hour every day, if possible. I've really taken a liking to cycling and it's helped to put my life in the right direction and help my lose lots of weight. Eat an egg for breakfast everyday; it'll make you feel good. Don't eat junk food.
Keeping your body in shape helps you think more clearly, and the running theme is here that providing yourself with structure and goals is the best thing you can do for yourself this side of medication. I swear that giving myself some structure is the only reason I was able to graduate from college on time and the only way I'll succeed in making my career go somewhere and being the husband my wife deserves.
I know that's a joke, but if you find yourself fucking things up in ways that don't make sense to you, you may benefit from seeing a psychiatrist. Sometimes the drugs can turn people's lives around.
I wouldn't have graduated from college without my Adderall.
Sounds like ADD to me. I've got ADD and although I'm very intelligent, I haven't been an 'A' student since freshman year of high school. I can learn things well, but I continue the same behaviors that prevent me from succeeding, such as reading Slashdot (among other things) instead of doing homework.
I took Adderall in school, which I believe stimulates dopamine and does indeed make it easier to do my homework. Also makes me test positive for meth, tell jokes that don't make sense to anyone but myself, and sleep 5 hours per night.
I was going somewhere with this post, but as usual, I got distracted. Anyway, I hope this perspective can inform someone or at least make the other folks with ADD feel like they're not alone, even when so many people don't even think ADD is real.
When I'm too old to understand what the fuck I'm talking about, I'll resign from congress and not try to legislate it.
If he's too old to get it, it's time to get out. I wouldn't be angry about some other old man not understanding new technology, but he has power over it. That's dangerous.
I don't understand how a credit card number reveals an age. I got my debit card when I was 16. It was valid and I could use it to buy anything. I'll also add that I'm 22 now and rarely get carded at porn stores.
In my apartment, the only ISP I can get is Cox. Cox has done fine for me so far, but I can't change. I can't move, either, because I picked this particular apartment for reasons bigger than internet access. Cox is a monopoly here and needs to be kept in check just like every other monopoly.
Slashdot Mirror
How about IEEE? I'm in IEEE and find it far more relevant to my career than ACM (even if ACM had a nice online bookshelf).
Perhaps the company needs an e-mail reminder to remove the SecuROM.
I thought part of the point of Steam was that Steam itself is the copy protection. Steam happens to be DRM that I can live with.
Well, I guess at least that means he knows what a database is, even if he doesn't know where it is.

At least you've got Java. I'm writing SOAP on PHP!
Well, it pays the bills...
3d goatse! Awesome!
Also, that would be quite a depth calculation!

Only if you really hate Australians!

The picture is actually related to the article, since the cow has a map of Earth on her side, with North at her top!

Don't bogart that joint!
You don't need it memorized, and you don't need to look at the FAQ. The addresses are on the front page, in the bottom right corner.
If you run a corporate network and need the FAQ page to help, you should not be running a corporate network.
Then your job should promptly be given to me.
