I've got a few 64MB sample sets from a decade ago that are pretty much indistinguishable from real instruments (excepting guitar, which is nigh-impossible to get right with all the various methods of playing.)
The smart folks use waveform generators for wavetable synthesis, instead of multi-recorded stuff. Even my Alesis drumkit uses waveform generated samples instead of recorded and engineered/layered samples.
Medicine has plenty of verifiable experimental results. Climate science has verifiable geological records. Physics has plenty of proof that the Laws of Thermodynamics are inviolable.
Almost every psychology experiment with results simply cannot be reproduced at all.
"So the authoritative text of a field is not legitimate?"
Given how illegitimate and unreproducible most psychology 'experiments' are, they have zero scientific credibility and thus the entire field is illegitimate.
"Music production is another case where no amount of memory is ever enough. Playing back a lot of sampled virtual instruments eats RAM like crazy."
No, that's the shit software you're using.
Old Fruity Loops 3 on a Celeron 400MHz with 384MB PC-133 SDRAM with about 128 sampled virtual instruments as solid patches, tons of fx, and not one issue.
Your 2% figure came from fucking 2008 *IN WIKIPEDIA* known for being out of date and wrong. Ag is MUCH larger now with new hydroponics and LED technology, and if things go to shit with Ag/Hort everything else is going with it.
We've got better controllers inside LED panels, and those only use three wires, with the third wire being a temperature sensor. Too hot? Voltage goes up, fan RPM increases.

If you're using the number row for inputting numbers instead of 10-key touch you're a pleb and a n00b.
Windows 10 bypasses HOSTs files.
Browsers are now bypassing HOSTs files.
You're too fucking stupid to do this at the ROUTER LEVEL LIKE A COMPETENT NETWORK/SYSTEM ADMIN.
You have been proven technically WRONG.
NOD32 detects a trojan in APK's HOSTS bullshit.
Windows 10 has hardcoded IPs and bypasses HOSTs.
Browsers can bypass HOSTs as well.
APK is apparently too fucking stupid to do this at the ROUTER level where it's most effective, AND he's tying to get your fucking information.
"In 2000, you didn't connect to the internet at all until you had patched yourself against BLASTER."
FTFY.
It's called StarBound.
That's gotta be bullshit unless you're running a 64-bit Mac. Lion killed off 32-bit support in 2011. Model, please?
Well, good. That should kill that little segment of 'reality tv' and clean up our airwaves a little bit.

"I have heard of PAE but that doesn't help 32-bit applications which can still not address more than 4GB of memory."
Plenty of 32-bit games that can utilize PAE. STALKER being one of them. All you do is write the code to detect PAE and utilize it when necessary.
Even my 32-bit MUCK game can address 6GB RAM, as it is fully aware of PAE.

"Also MacBooks have a higher resell value, retaining up to 50% of their price after five years."
They may maintain up to 50% of their price, but most certainly don't retain 50% of their usability. You're stuck on obsolete programs and OS updates.

" If you're on a 32-bit system, it won't address more than 4GB RAM anyway"
Someone's never heard of PAE.
"Games are usually 32bit"
People have known how to utilize more than 4GB of RAM these past few years. This is why gaming consoles come with 8GB (Excepting Nintendo)
Chrome has its own Flash version built-in.

Still running to this day just for that.
"Why shut them down only to spend 10 minutes relaunching?"
If shit takes 10 minutes to relaunch you're doing something horribly wrong.
Not even. Camfrog had these kinds of capabilities before Flash was even gaining ground on the internet.
"You mean the food that feeds the nation?"
Most of CA's grown produce is exported internationally. The nation is fed by the Midwest and Cumberland Valleys.
Your 2% figure came from fucking 2008 *IN WIKIPEDIA* known for being out of date and wrong. Ag is MUCH larger now with new hydroponics and LED technology, and if things go to shit with Ag/Hort everything else is going with it.
No, because if the Agricultural economy collapses, everything else will go with it. Do you not understand the domino effect?
Intel's spec sucks.
We've got better controllers inside LED panels, and those only use three wires, with the third wire being a temperature sensor. Too hot? Voltage goes up, fan RPM increases.
" who couldn't believe the card had fan control without PWM (fan has two wires)."
Well, that's why they're driver devs and not electrical engineers.
Increase voltage or amperage and the fan will throttle up. No PWM required.

Modern OSes use a pagefile, eh?
That seems to say exactly opposite.

Ahh, good ol' race conditions.
