Yes and what do we call the place where this virtual memory resides ? Swap. So if you have 4GB ram and 8GB of swap you will be unable to map a file that is 20GB, I think overcommit might help you in the short term but from my use it is very dangerous.
One other thing to consider when setting swap is the amount of memory you will need to address at once. Linux can't map more than physical and swap combined so if you are going to be mmaping 80GB files you'll need at least 80GB between swap and physical memory.
I would hesitate to under estimate the anti-american feelings that the current administration has created overseas. Even among those countries that used to be home to american loving populations have turned.
As an irish person living and working in america (legally) I get to experience this first hand whenever I go home. What used to be questions like "What's it like over there ? I want to go" have become "How can you stand it over there ? I never want to go"
I think that these sentiments were cemented when Bush was re-elected. In the first election it was assumed that the presidency was stolen. But when Kerry was defeated the general feeling was that "The Americans are doing this to themselves". So there is very little pity or understanding left.
I try to educate people when I go home that not every american wants to kill them and siphon the gas from their car but few believe.
Yes but Japan can prove that the countries that it bans beef imports from have had CJD in their beef stock and Japan has not.
So that in banning beef imports from those countries it is protecting its citizens from harm that that may come from eating beef from those countries but can guarantee that the same risks are not in play when you eat Japanese beef.
The US must prove that allowing US citizens to gamble on international sites is much worse that gambling on US sites ( off track betting, internet lotto ).
Don't the DMCA safe harbor provisions protect google in the event of copyright infringement ? Even if it's not a clear cut case; the part about financial benefit seems to leave them a little open; it does provide material for google with it's massively deep pockets to lawyer their way out of it.
1. Take one big ball of dirt. (5.9742 × 10^24 kilograms should do it)
2. Place ball 1AU from nearest M class star.
3. Add moon.
4. If life developes let cool for 4.5 Billion years.
5. If there is a single species of life on the ball of dirt then macro-evolution is false.....
Contrary to the article that states that a++ and ++a can be aliased to one call a.next() this is not how it should be done:
a++ needs to return the value of a BEFORE it is incremented
++a needs to return the value of a AFTER it is incremented
Sorry for the rant, I've just spent too long working with programmers that didn't know the difference
(Not at my current job mind you...)
Portable video has demonstratably taken off. UMD movie sales for the PSP are taking off like wildfire and they are just a shadow of whats to come. A video ipod that connected to the home pvrs would do well in this market and if there were some way of getting the umd videos onto it as well it'll explode.
If students are leaving engineering but there is no shortage of geeks, maybe there just isn't the same demand that there once was. Or maybe people don't see engineering as a cash cow anymore.
So only students who have an interest in engineering enroll and complete the courses. I wonder what the numbers of high schoolers taking science and higher math are.
VOIP is really kicking ass in the callcenter world and wireless voip will undoubtably follow suit. Hopefully this doesn't mean that the dell service rep answering your call is in starbucks:)
If you haven't seen it yet the splunk log analysis engine is a really neat use of ajax. Theres a live demo up on the site so you can check it out without having to go and install it.
( Fulldisclosure : I do work for splunk but I still think that the gui and engine rock ! )

So all those crazy conspiracy theorists were right.

Yet you get modded insightful +2 and are 1st visible comment. .... well done :)
I don't know what to say except
It's so weird to read an argument when only one side gets modded high enough for me to see :)

Yes it is true for 64 bit AFAIK
Sure you don't map into regular swap but you cannot address more than swap and physical.

Sure but the call for a++ should be { b = a; //Creates a copy !
a.next();
return b;
}
and ++a
{
a.next();
return a;
} //No copy created

a++ needs to return the value of a BEFORE it is incremented

Without a harddrive how am I supposed to install linux on it and turn it into a cheap media center that runs mame ?
