  1. Re:You mean physical memory right :-) on Why Use Virtual Memory In Modern Systems? · · Score: 1

    I work with a lot of older systems (NT 4 and Windows 2000) on aging hardware. These systems can be temperamental, and blue screen on occasion. Frequently was not really the best word, but, when you have an important server with crashing problems, you will want a Dump file to go through. It takes some of the guess work out of solving the problem. When you reduce the windows paging file on the system drive below a certain threshold, windows will no longer create dmp files.

    As long as you dont want to read the dump files on your computer. I frequently use dump files to trouble shoot problems

  3. I would have bought one if it came out sooner on Is Anyone Buying T-Mobile's Googlephone? · · Score: 1

    I just renewed my cell contract and I am required to keep my blackberry internet service for at least 6 months...I had been waiting to try this out, but I had gotten sick of waiting. I guess I will see what is out there when I am eligible to drop the blackberry service. Perhaps there will be an even better one out. I have watched

  4. Re:It would be nice... on Spammer Perjury is Worth Prosecuting · · Score: 1

    it doesn't matter whether or not they have assets if you bring criminal charges against them, including jail time. The asset you take from them is their time and freedom.

    And so is my comment.

  8. Re:California Strikes Again on Don't Share That Law! It's Copyrighted · · Score: 1

    If the government hold the copy write, and the people make up the government; wouldn't it be like a book publisher suing itself for distributing its books?

    Good point, thanks for the explanation

  10. Re:Not ready. on Intel Releases USB 3.0 Controller Interface Spec · · Score: 1

    I am going to wait for USB Vista before I upgrade....I want to have a lot of "bloat" in my serial ports :)

  11. Re:Good for them... on Psystar "Definitely Still Shipping" Mac Clones · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wouldn't this be like buying a music CD from sony that says on the package "you are only allowed to play this on a sony CD player" Then having sony sue the manufacturer of another cd player that is able to play sony cd's out of the box? Where is/should the line be drawn on what a Eula can dictate? Software on a CD is not too much different from music or video on a CD.

  12. Re:Too much computer stuff in cars.. on EU Reserves a Frequency For Talking Cars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Thats why you should install Linux on it :)

  14. Re:Penetrate even the best antivirus software? on Students Learn To Write Viruses · · Score: 1

    perhaps a course in social engineering should be required when pursuing a degree in security.

    I agree with you, except for "beautiful Kansas City"

  16. Re:What about outside the USA? on iPhone Tethering App Released, Killed In 2 Hours · · Score: 1

    I don't see what the problem is...they sell tethering for my blackberry. What is the difference between tethering it and tethering the iPhone? They must still be figuring out how to make more money off of it.

  17. Re:Order of operations on Software Backs Up Human Memory · · Score: 1

    So that's what I've been doing wrong all this time!

    I second that!

  19. Saving money on DHS Allowed To Take Laptops Indefinitely · · Score: 1

    I guess confiscating laptops could be part of a government conspiracy to save money. If they no longer have to purchase laptops they have that much more money to spend on their other toys!

  20. Re:The cheapest code... on Critiquing Claims of an Open Source Jobs Boom · · Score: 1

    [sarcasm]Unless I open source my Hello World Program. There is no telling how much it could be improved if others are allowed to see the source! And by open sourcing it, the program is sure to be safe. Because everyone always reads the source code before installing it![/sarcasm]
