Simple: the bus can be faulty (or the connection NIC-bus). The memory can go bad. If you do checksum offloading, you only verify the integrity at the endpoint in your machine. If you move it to the CPU, the path for data where it may be corrupted is shortened.
The interesting point is the absolute min FPS, measured as 1/(max time between two frames). Even with an average of 70, you can sometimes go above 16 ms between frames. And we're quite sensitive to these things, as an example I notice the somewhat uncanny effect of having two TFTs with different panesl with video scaled over both. They have different response times and possibly different processing, but they should still be at most a (60 Hz) frame or so apart. The effect is nonetheless very visible.
But this is only the 2D parts, no 3D formulas (no specified shader language, akin to spreadsheet formulas). And I would damn assume that they have left out the VESA BIOS specs, so no backwards compatibility!
Graphics can easily use 512 MB. We'll see more 1024 MB GPUs soon. That memory needs to be mapped. Not mapping all of it directly in RAM (possibly even twice, both in kernel and some in user space) will cause the same kind of bloat and pain that "expanded memory" did for us on 16-bit x86.

Well has been redfined. In absolute numbers, the sales were minimal compared to today. The channel was also a lot slower, so manufacturers continued bundling older releases (all through the fall of '91, at the very least).
I think it does. The reason why is simple: the swap is a somewhat special memory-mapped file. They still have to get the encryption logic tied in with the swapping logic for all other memory-mapped files (like all exes). That's one difference between Bitlocker and previous NTFS compression/encryption, where several of the more fancy I/O operations (aysnch I/O in general, efficient memory mapping) were really disabled.
That's easy for many things, but not so easy when you are doing non-invasive monitoring of electric signals from the body. A false alarm would still cause problems, and I can understand why you want that type of equipment to be sensitive to the limit that it can detect spurious signals.
Clearly not the case? Well, the frequency is lower. (Inducing cancer in humans is in general harder, we are far more longlived and seem to have a protection system that's simply better tuned.) The most important aspect is naturally that the artificial implants are highly desirable in those cases. That claim might be a bit harder to make for RFID implants, especially if they would turn into something that would be considered for maybe even a majority of the population (not mandatory, but for "convenience"...).
We still have more in sugar. Despite this, sugar is relatively safe at most temperatures. Sugar in a water solution even more so, while still reasonably potent. The uncatalyzed chain reaction (a.k.a. fire) is simply not favorable in anything close to normal conditions there. The story is a bit less simple for LiI batteries.
(Now, a water solution wouldn't be ideal due to the risk of explosion through boiling, but that's another matter. It's still a rather simple fact that the energy densities involved aren't that great. Human beings don't self-ignite with a frequency comparable to Li-Ion batteries, although both are marginal phenomenas.)
Of course it did! MS looked at the CPI ratings and then targeted their corruption attempts in the seemingly most suitable direction, so different ratings would have affected the outcome directly!
The problem is that very autocompletion. That means that you are getting used to long function names where you only skim over the exact letters, so you can in fact get a spelling error in a public class, use it and release it only to actually find the error and fix it too late. And then you can't fix it, because you're breaking your interface!
The real issue is how small the cone where you get a sharp image would be. In the edges of the screen, you don't have enough data to deblur (you would need pixels beyond the edge to get the full information). You might realize that you can indeed resolve quite fine details, but only for a few pixels in the absolute center, relying on all other pixels to remove the adjacent noise.
Well, if what you are saying is true, even the amount of media out of copyright would suffice. Or, maybe the case is that we don't care about the total pool of available material, we want new stuff. Then it makes sense to protect new stuff. If you're right, and all material (or even only the "good" part of it) is in an almost endless supply, then the damage done to society by copyright on relatively new works would also be minimal.
You are of course aware that step-by-step instructions for opening the correct config file, scrolling to the right section, etc, would be about as long? (The note about comments inline in files is certainly valid, but support instructions on the web are for those who have already looked at any such info without luck...)
The scheduler is at the very heart of the kernel. It's relatively hard to make the logic for choicing what and when to context-switch modular, while keeping the actual context-switches fast enough. Diferent schedulers tend to have different ideas on what stats to keep, and you all want it with good memory locality. After all, we should remember that this is a piece of code that's relevant tens or hundreds of times per second, no matter what you do with your machine.
Well, it should be possible for a scheduler to realize "oh, this process causes thrashing, I'll give it like 30 secs to see if it calms down, if not I'll freeze any more hard page errors caused by it for another 30 secs". Basically, in addition to thread quanta, introduce another level of longtime quanta for stuff that won't complete soon anyway. The worst killer here is when you have two processes, basically independent, that would each fit in RAM, but the scheduler insists on keeping them switching several times a second, so they will just swap each other out.
Ok, I know there are attempts to solve this. I think one scenario I've got several times in OS X, where NO thread is running and the amount of pageins is low, is due to some heuristic trying to stop behavior like this, but tying workset management and scheduling closer together might make sense in many kernels.
Yep, no problem. After all, this shows that the species barrier (which is one of the main criticisms against GM crops) is thinner than believed. We get an interesting variety through modern methods. The problem of a not completely described monoculture is still a significant one, but the foodcrop varieties already in use are already such monocultures. Preserving local varieties in some form is essential, but those varieties are on the other hand not good enough to feed us all.
You don't happen to have some kind of zoning on your router, only allowing WAN/Internet traffic for unknown MACs? (Just asking because I hit something similar when visiting a friend with my XP laptop, and I was baffled on why I could connect to external sites, but not locally. It turned out to be a config issue on the router.)
You don't pay to take part in the MS technical betas, and you could download the later Vista betas for free as well. You can pay to get physical discs, or as part of MSDN/TechNet, though, but that is something else. The betas are not the center of those programs.

The only reference is conversion into S.I. by well-defined constants, and then trusting the S.I. references.

Do you link statically to glibc? of course, that's part of the ubiquity argument, but it's not like the libraries are bloated just for the sake of it.
