I presently have swap set to 512MB, the minimum recommended swap size. If an app needs swap, it's there, and they can have it.
Otherwise, I have 2GB of RAM and I'm using 62MB of that swap.
I once wanted to do exactly this, but...
I make the assumption that the kernel programmers take it for granted that you have swap, so I provide it. The next PC I make may have a DRAM-based hard drive dedicated to swap.
It doesn't matter how much RAM the chip can support, if your motherboard only supports 1GB of physical RAM, and the rest has to be virtual memory, which can result ``result in slow-downs as the systems were forced to increasingly turn to disk-based virtual memory to handle tasks,'' according to TFA.
We are the hollow arguments/We are the stuffed arguments/Leaning together/Contentions filled with straw. Alas!
As others have noted, the modernists copied extensively from others with or without attribution. Unfortunately for this poseur, both modernists and samplers lift well-known bits and hope the audience is savvy enough to get it either as an easter egg or an integral part of the text. Stealing obscure mundane quotes and not acknowledging where you got them means it's no longer sampling, but plagiarism.
Silicon is running out of legs, and fast.
You might be able to push silicon to a 16nm process, but we'll have to push it very hard to make it to 11nm, which ITRS claims will be here by 2022. Beyond that, we'll see, but long time is probably less than 30 years. Which may be a long time, depending on your point of view.
I'm not sure if lurgyman is right, but TFA seems to be wrong. Quoting from Ars here:
The graphene FETs in this work were tested up to 30GHz and, extrapolating those results, the authors showed that the FETs would operate, albeit poorly, up to 100GHz. Similarly sized Si devices are limited to 30GHz operation.[...]The 100GHz speed touted in the article's title is an extrapolation—no such properties were actually measured.
I seriously doubt that it would improve memory function in younger people if it fails to help the elderly, but are there any studies that involve comparatively younger populations?
If they pass a law requiring resale royalties, I doubt anyone would obey it. People will continue to buy and sell like they always have, and public media campaigns will have zero effect on it. The used book industry would go out of business overnight, and libraries would lose a significant source of new material, as well as the ability to sell books that they need to clear out (once you add several dollars to the price of a book of common logarithms, who will buy it?).
In the worst case scenario, when you need to get rid of books, you'll have to call the firemen.
I saw the Great Global Warming Swindle. It's been a while since I've seen it, but the one thing that jumped out at me was the transparently fraudulent graphs.
e.g. Please note the way the charts move about and are shown only briefly in their full context, showing contempt for data in general. It would give Edward Tufte a heart attack.
(And yes, Al Gore is fat. Climate change doesn't depend on Al Gore)
Thermodynamic entropy and information entropy are actually very closely related. While I haven't read the entire article, it is clear (from statements like " According to Shannon’s 10th theorem... H is equal to the minimum additional information required in order to correct all the errors in the state of the system and thereby preserve the initial amount of information") that they are talking about information entropy.
I was thinking of the within-disk concept you mentioned when I posted that. (My first encounter with fountain codes was trying to come up with a way to recover data from CDs that would eventually degrade)
I'm not sure how Reed Solomon compares, since I was mainly thinking of the simple parity encoding of earlier RAIDs.
I get that this is sort of funny, but this actually is a very serious question.
It's pretty clear that there will be a different standard applied to Sony here. Why is there one standard when the little guy wins against the big guy and another when the big guy wins against the little guy?
The UK does not have an absolute right against self-incrimination like the US does. It is also based on case law and statute, not constitution.
For example, the UK equivalent to Miranda is this: You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
Also, some offenses are not subject to the right to silence. For example, under the 2000 Terrorism Act, you do not have the right to silence in a terrorism case.

OK, now it sort of makes sense, but I still think they should cap it at at least 4GB for 64 bit--otherwise, what's the point of a 64-bit chip?
And yes, I realize the irony of writing this on a 64-bit system that only has 2GB of RAM, but the motherboard claimed that it supported 4GB.

Seriously? Microsoft, you brought this on yourself.

How many motherboards support that?

It's a concession to the sugar lobby!
It's a concession to the corn lobby!
It's a dessert topping *and* a floor wax! (actually, you can probably make both out of corn)
Wellp, it looks like that's a negative.

Ah, Daily Fail...you seem to have forgotten that the Wikimedia Foundation isn't in the UK. Oh, wait. They didn't. They just ignored the implications.
So let me get this straight. King's office isn't aware of public statements that King himself made? It just gets better and better.
It looks like the fast food chains are already using the aquaria for Animal 57...
Let me know when they add a boss key.

From the way they describe it, it sounds a lot like Maxwell's Demon. Since there is energy going into the system, however, it's clearly not that.
but she has marvelous judgment, if not particularly good taste.
This is a well-known phenomenon. I first encountered it in Phil Zimbardo's Discovering Psychology series (Skip to about 9:30)

What about fountain codes? The coding there is capable of recovering from a greater variety of faults.
