I seriously doubt that would work, as the host OS is still in charge of allocating physical memory for Virtual Box to use. Even if, by somehow using the processor PAE and virtualization extensions, the guest OS is able to see the extra RAM, VirtualBox has now way to actually get it allocated to it.
Your link clearly says (A) No person who is in a public place shall refuse to disclose the personâ(TM)s name, address, or date of birth, when requested by a law enforcement officer who reasonably suspects either of the following:
It says nothing about showing an ID. In the blog you are referring to, he says he gave the officer his name and address, but because he was not driving the vehicle did not think he should have to show his ID. The link to the Ohio code you provided would agree with him.
My webmail lets me search/reply/archive at will...
Anyway, it seems naive to completely rule out forums as a source of information. It seems like it's much less efficient to store tons of information you will never need in your local mail client's archive in hopes that the answer to a question you may have down the road will be in that archive.
Us non-pro's who don't exclude any source of information, such as forums, often get good, quick answers to all of our questions by doing a quick Google search.
An often overlooked fact about ExpertsExchange is that, although at the top of the page they show the answers blurred out, if you scroll to the VERY bottom of the page, past what you would think is the footer, you will find the answers in the clear (most likely so search engines will pick it up)
I think he knows what he is talking about. When he says "it can't throw away your data, but it can throw away code", I believe he means that the code will have a file backing (you can always re-read the code from the executable), so it is okay to throw it away. Your data, on the other hand (the programs working set of data, not including the program code) is NOT file backed, so can't be thrown away. So, it should be possible, even without a swap file, for an OS to still 'throw away' pages, as the GP mentioned.
And also, what's with Go take an OS design course, or at least read up on it. There is nothing in your post based in fact? Little inflammatory comments like that at the end of posts don't add anything to the conversation, it is just trying to pick a fight.
Follow EBay's directions and enter your bid as 'the absolute maximum you are willing to pay for this item' and sniping won't affect you (your prior bid will take precedence over a sniping bid). The snipers may make you pay a little bit more at the last second, but they have the same right as you to bid what they are willing to pay.
I have 4 year old laptop computer (not really so much a laptop, it's a 17"), a Clevo D470k, that is running Windows XP SP2. Sleep works flawlessly 80% of the time, USB doesn't work 5% of the time, and 10% of the time it just never wakes up.
I have never successfully woken this computer from sleep while running Ubuntu.
So, I'm not happy with Sleep on either of these operating systems, which leads me to blame the hardware, not the OS. Perhaps this is what you should be doing too.
I know that no one here will care, but if you don't have dozens of programs starting up with Windows XP, it starts very quickly. My laptop is a Core2Duo 1.8Ghz with 2GB of RAM, so nothing cutting edge, and from a complete power off, it gets from selecting WinXp in grub to having Firefox loaded and displaying Google on my wireless in 23 seconds.
Coming from sleep, the computer is usable in 6 seconds, although it takes an additional 4 seconds for wireless to be back up.
Hibernation (with just Firefox w/ 4 tabs) takes 8 seconds to be usable, 4 additional seconds for wireless.
Note that these times (for hibernate and cold boot) are measured starting from when Grub begins booting the OS, as I don't think it's fair to count the BIOS time and Grub's menu against the OS, as that time would be added to any OS.
So, it may be that the answer to your 20 second boot time requirement is to use any operating system, and just don't start loads of crap with it.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is an about in about:config to disable the nag screens... so, while still annoying, I bet there is an option that tech-savvy users who know what they are doing running FF2 can disable it.
(Although I don't have FF2 to actually check if there is an option there)
GP didn't claim Berners Lee invented the internet, he said that the United States was the country that 'invented' the internet. Given the history of the internet, and that he put it in 'quotes,' perhaps giving nod to the fact that not 100% of the work was US based, I would say that he is quite correct that the internet was invented in the United States.
I have found that most students will give you their name and address (which is more than I normally will give anyone until I actually apply to the college) and not much else (no birthdate, prior education, and especially no phone number or e-mail address).
Probably because the thing they are most worried about is junk mail, and in my opinion unsolicited phone calls and unsolicited email are much more annoying then junk snail mail. Snail mail annoys me once a day, email and phone are more often.
As far as why they don't want to give you, an institute of higher education that information, in my own experience as a college student I get much more crap email from my university and others than I do from other sources.
I have a computer who's sole purpose is to serve files, download crap, etc... nothing major. So, as a wild-ass-guess, I'd say it has maybe 1% of the load of an average computer user's computer (checking email, browsing web). It was last rebooted 30 hours ago. Htop shows that in the past 30 hours, the running software has used just over a minute of processor time (40 seconds being rtorrent hashing a 15gig file on a 1Ghz AMD). Even if the load was 100, or even 1000, times it's current load, the processor would still be overpowered for what it does.
I think most users are IO bound, not processor bound.
When I said "Is it really?" I was genuinely asking a question, I wasn't trying to offend you. I am sorry if you took it that way.
A failed write wouldn't be seen by the OS as "it doesn't seem like anything went wrong", and thus the source would not be deleted. However, if nothing is reported wrong, I don't believe it is reasonable to expect the entire file to be validated without the user requesting it, especially over a slow network connection - the specific scenario I was referring to anyways.
Now, if the destination server supported sending a hash of the transfer, that would be a better solution then validating the entire file. But I still can't see a move really being "copy, read entire file back, delete source." What I was writing to a network share that I had write access to but no read access?
Is it really? Reading the destination file back after a write to a network drive could be very slow. I have a feeling that the OS simply says "It doesn't seem like anything went wrong" and then deletes the source file. What if you have a fat upload pipe, but the destination doesn't have much upload bandwidth? It could take forever to read back the file over the network to ensure integrity. It would be nice to have a verify option, but I do not believe it should be the default.
In all my years of driving I think I could count on two hands the number of times someone has preemptively moved out of the fast lane because I was coming up on them. The rest of the time it's either tailgate until they move or it's the ol' three lane pass (you gotta move over three lanes to the right, pass them, then move back. ridiculous.)
If I see a car approaching quickly in my mirror, I will move over if possible to let them pass. However, if I cannot move over because of a car next to me, I'm not moving over until I pass that car, and I'm not going to speed up to accommodate your excessive speed. Be patient, I'll move over when I can.
Now, your 'tailgate until they move' tactic isn't going to work on me. If you ride my ass, I will match speeds with the car next to me until you back off.
Don't be an asshole. It isn't your road, and you probably are not as good of a driver as you think you are.
And at the university I go to (Kansas State), textbooks are sold at 50-200% mark up from online prices. I literally save hundreds of dollars each semester by refusing to go to the bookstore here in town.
The part of this article that I found most interesting is that you need to use your skin for the touch screen to work - that kinda rules out any sort of future handwriting recognition.
Not necessarily. I wouldn't expect to see handwriting recognition, but you have to use your skin because touchpads detect the electrical difference caused by your finger. Non-conductors won't work for a touchpad. That doesn't mean, however, that there can't be a special pen that can be used to write on it (like PDAs have)

I seriously doubt that would work, as the host OS is still in charge of allocating physical memory for Virtual Box to use. Even if, by somehow using the processor PAE and virtualization extensions, the guest OS is able to see the extra RAM, VirtualBox has now way to actually get it allocated to it.
I'm kind of surprised to read a poster on slashdot write they wouldn't volunteer for a one-way mission.
As cool as going to Mars would be, I for one don't want to die for it.

FWIW I don't seem to be having any problems getting gmail through my gmail-lite install.
Likewise via IMAP on my WinMo 6.1 phone. In fact I didn't even know there was an outage until just now; my mails been coming in fine.
There isn't an indication of whether or not this is part of the outage, but, as said in the article,
Google said the bug is affecting 'a small number of users'
. Chances are you aren't one of the affected users anyways (I just use the web interface and haven't had any problems).
I think he knows what he is talking about.

Affect; not effect. Man, I've seen this so many times recently it's starting to seem rediculous!!
We're talking about Blu-Ray, so that would be bluiculous.

I loved the dodo just because it was difficult to fly. It gave you a sense of accomplishment to be able to maneuver the dodo well at all.

Although without the proper screwdriver, I'd say a lot less than 1 in 10 have the ability to remove those screws. They can be tough.
When XP came out, SATA was a very weird HDD setup. Vista has no problems installing to SATA without any additional driver disks.
