    It also has to do with each shot taking place from a stand still, very different to many other sports.

    Here's why botnets and, more generally, spam continue to survive - people buy the products advertised!:

    http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20527491.500-spamdemic-tracking-the-plague-of-junk-mail.html

    (From the text in the graphic) An analysis of just 1.5% of one botnet ("Storm") for one month in 2008 showed:

    35 million spams sent
    8.2 million passed filtering software
    10,500 clicked on the link in the email
    28 people actually bought the product

    Although this represents only a 0.000008% conversion rate when scaled up it shows that "Storm" generated $3.5 million in sales in 2008.

  21. Re:not flamebait, simply advice on Behind the 4GB Memory Limit In 32-Bit Windows · · Score: 1
    But somehow SuperSpeed's RamDisk product (which I use in a 64-bit, 8GB Vista box so as Photoshop can have a 2GB+ scratch disk) offers 32-bit OS users the ability to see and use more than 4GB ...

    RamDisk Plus 10 has a most unique feature. Our patent pending technology can access memory beyond the limitation imposed by a Windows 32-bit operating system! In other words, RamDisk Plus 10 can use "unmanaged" Windows' memory e.g. above 4GB. It can also use the stubbornly inaccessable memory between 3.2GB and 4GB. See the product's help file for detailed explanation of what "unmanaged" memory is and how to access and use it with RamDisk Plus 10.
