If you have no paging file, under certain circumstances that have nothing to do with low RAM (overcommit maybe?), Windows will override your choice and force a page file upon you.
My solution is to create a fixed size page file and let the Windows kernel be happy (and slower). No file fragmentation. No extra partitions. 24 gigabytes of RAM underutilized.
With those prices today, I cannot find one argument in favor of a self-signed certificate.
I can. Trust. I do not trust -any- of the commercial registrars and neither should you. We have seen all sorts of crazy antics where they delegate trust and shenanigans happen. Of course, you are welcome to trust them if you wish.:)
I use SSL as if it were PGP. I like the encryption and I like the non-repudiation. I also appreciate the capability to set up an infrastructure of trust but I have not seriously set up any such infrastructure yet.
Hm. I have not played with certificates and such for a while; however, I am pretty sure that IP addresses are irrelevant. IIRC, the DNS needs to match the CN (CN == Common Name field in the certificate). If an otherwise valid certificate is used on a site with a DNS CN mismatch, then there is an error. The IP address can change randomly as long as the DNS resolves correctly.
If it takes 500,000 chinese workers to make the phone, it would probably take 600,000 - 750,000 USA workers because USA workers aren't going to put in the same amount of overtime.
I suspect that your analysis is flawed. American workers will definitely not put in as much overtime but American workers are far more productive per hour of work. Since I have no actual numbers, I can not say if the numbers will balance out or favor one of the two groups, but your simple analysis will not fly as is.
Except that people like me find these things running around on our networks and submit reports to McAfee, Symantec, and such so that their automated systems will detect them. They may be zero day and there may not be any signatures but any security person worth the title absolutely will notice anomalous behavior on their networks and computers.
I think you missed it there sparky. He did not say ALL people of Muslim faith should be out there protesting the girl getting shot. He was saying that the ones out there protesting right now should ALSO be protesting that girl getting shot. Thankfully, the government of Pakistan, where the girl is from and was shot, publicly acknowledged that it was wrong and they are paying for her medical care. Oh, and they already have several people arrested for that crime.
To me, this qualifies as a strong statement and nullifies the OP's point... mostly. Muslims ARE saying it was wrong. Just not the loudmouth hypocritical ones.
Every single effort by Microsoft in the mobile space has failed miserably. Nothing serious has changed at Microsoft so what makes you think they would succeed on their very next effort? Why would anyone bet their livelihood on that? Lots of employees are going to get hurt badly. Lots of retirees who have stock in Nokia are going to die hungry and penniless. This shit is NOT funny.
In short, this was not a puddle. This was the captain punching a huge fucking hole in the hull and throwing all the pumps overboard. You analogy is terribly terribly flawed.
Hm. I think you read the parent comment differently than I did. I read it as saying the dude predicted it correctly, but then, so did the rest of the world. There was nothing about the consequences of Nokia's decision that was not immediately obvious to anyone even slightly familiar with that field of business.
In other words, Ahonen is not an idiot but then, a genius was not needed to get the prediction right.
I think you are missing a huge part of the equation here when you are applying the Razor: First, Elop is an ex-Softie. Second, it is unheard of, except in cases of nepotism or other corruption, for an executive team to be THAT blindly stupid.
No. Seriously. -Everyone- knew that killing off all product lines other than Windows Phone was extremely stupid. "Hey, our business has multiple profitable lines. Let's end all of them except for the most expensive models... and to make it even smarter, let's ensure that those expensive models have an operating system on them where all past versions have utterly flopped... but THIS is a new version. D'oh?"
In this case, the simplest explanation -is- malice. If only I had liquidity when they announced their new direction... I would have made a fortune shorting them. Actually, does the stock have any value at all right now? Perhaps I should try to short them even now.
I saw the wink but you are moderated insightful so I felt that I must respond.
If Americans said something was terrible for everyone, there would be huge outcries about Americans deciding what was good for others. Other people eat some pretty gross shit that would never be accepted in America. A group can and should only talk about what is good for themselves. It has nothing to do with "fuck everyone else".
Linux ceases to be interesting if people can not use it effectively. NVidia cards were my preferred cards under Linux because they were stable and offered the features I want. Now, there are NO video cards that I can use under Linux. I am not interested in an 80x25 text interface for my desktop. I am not interested in booting into another operating system because I suddenly have the urge to play Team Fortress 2. I am not interested in losing fast and stable accelerated desktop redraws.
It will be nothing at all for NVidia and me. I used to be an avid Linux supporter. Between Gnome, KDE, and the crappy video drivers, Linux on the desktop is unusable for me. I am NOT going back to 1998 Linux with respect to the desktop.
Alan, have fun with the dozens of others who will enjoy desktop Linux with you. I understand the position but it is waaaaaaaaaaay to early to be strong arming NVidia.
I was not going to reply... But what about Galadriel? She was a seriously powerful person, she was the dominant person in the relationship with her husband, and we had a chance to see what she was made of when Frodo willingly offered her the One Ring. Only Gandalf, and possibly Elrond, were as badass as her.
I guess there were not many females because many women do not do interesting things and stories are about interesting things. I apologize for my honesty. Go ahead and call me a misogynist. I am only calling it like I see it from my view.
You'd be surprised. I mean, let's take myself for example. Even starting to think about shaving sets my mind abuzz with contours and shear strength equations dealing with each follicle of hair. Before applying the lather, it's a pain to model my face in a three dimensional image so as to optimize the amount of face covered per stroke versus a random walk pattern across the... and I've already spent too much time on it so I don't shave.
WTF man? You are doing it wrong. Spray lather into your hands. Place your right hand across the right side of your face and your left hand on the left side of your face. Easy? The lather is there so you do not have to think about your face in 3D. Wherever there is lather, drag the razor over it.:P
Wait a sec! I see what the problem is. Which hand do you use to touch your neck? Ah. Now your stance makes sense.
I like your pedantic reply and the pedantic response (the Earth moved a little). There is one thing that does concern me a little when they actually can start measuring "true" horsepower:
Top fuel dragsters have about 8k of available horsepower. It takes them less than 3 seconds to go a quarter of a mile. They experience massive accelerations...
How long will it take them to apply 80k horsepower without killing the person inside the car?
As a follow-on question: How far will they have traveled when the car is finally putting down the full 80k horsepower?
Hm. Tertiary question that could be important: How far will they travel in their attempt to drop back down to a speed of zero?
According to the latest medical studies on coffee and caffeine, I can choose to be blind and have a functioning brain when I get older or I can see but not actually remember any of it. If I had to choose, I think I would choose blind and a functioning brain.
These people are making money hands-over-fist. Billions of dollars flowing into their pockets.
Once you have had billions of dollars flowing for a while, most of that money is tied up in "obligations". Kind of like how your needs grow with your means. It is always desirable to have money above and beyond your means. The question here is how unethical are they willing to be to get this money over and above their means. I suspect this question has been answered too.
I am not saying that TPP is not dangerous but it concerns me that the Wikipedia entry you linked to has this as the very first point:
Include a number of features that would lock-in as a global norm many controversial features of United States law, such as endless copyright terms.
While it seems that the copyright terms are endless and could arguably called such, it is not helpful to classify them that way. If we are to fight against things, we need to accurately and intimately know the reality of that which we are fighting. Copyright terms are clearly spelled out (to last for a thousand years now? I am unsure) but, they ARE clearly spelled out.
It would be smarter to call them extraordinarily long with the possibility that the copyright terms may be extended yet again by law.
And then there are the other markets. Have a scene where someone is holding a Bible in a courtroom? Such a movie cannot be distributed in an Islamic country, or at least most of them. Want a movie where the hero is wearing a turban? Good luck
Pure hyperbole. I saw Avatar in 3D in an Islamic country and they held a piece of cardboard over the camera during the "sex" scene. Other than that, the movie was unaltered (and extremely popular!). Plenty of movies have a hero wearing a turban. The only way a movie with a christian bible in it would be banned from an Islamic country would be if the rest of the movie were blasphemous according to their standards. Chillax, but do not stop fighting censorship.
The complaint is just some mail thread of Apache developers having a moan, where some of them think apparently that privacy settings shouldn't be set by default but should set knowingly by the user (and others vehemently say that this argument is nonsense).
What does DNT have to do with web servers other than the need to honor whatever DNT is set to? Oh right. They are not writing web servers. They are making the world the way it ought to be according to them. What reason do I have to use Apache products again?
They're acting like MS is installing adblock and turning it on by default. What MS is doing is making the internet more like TV, where the adds are dumb and have to be generally targeted at the type of site, as opposed to creepily personalized.
Agree mostly(are cable boxes tracking your viewing habits?); however, I kind of wanted to comment on this gem that you quoted:
consumers collectively would suffer because network television as we know it would no longer be a viable business model.
Honestly, it is no longer a viable business model from my perspective. There is only one person I know who watches "network TV". The rest of my family members do not watch it. I have zero friends who watch it. I am not aware of anyone (other than that 1 person) who still watches it. Obviously, this is just my experience and there are far more people in this world than I will ever meet... but I do recall when I was younger that it was guaranteed that almost every family would be watching TV after work/school/whatever. I suspect those days are gone.

Blackwater became Xe and changed yet again to Academi which is their current name. (Can't let them hide through shady practices).
