The mods agree. That's not even remotely plausible, this being slashdot and all.
Because you are being scammed, $10 is more realistic.
or not 2P, that is the question.
It might get unpleasant if you hold it in too long.
Change some text in the eula, give a link to whatever distro they are using and provide an object file so that it can be re-linked to an updated version of uClibc. that's one meaty lawsuit you got there mister.
And he's right, there is a 2GB Application memory limit, 3GB with LargeAddressAware. And then there's the 4GB OS memory limit, which you were sarcastically referring to.
Already exists for windows: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/sharedaccess/default.mspx
And it's free.
Yours truly, Grammar Nazi.
Your ' s. But nice try.

That's a really weird place to boast about your taste in music.

I have weird ass-artifacts on Firefox here at home, and I'm using Vista.
I don't think it's vista, just stop browsing porn.
probably not. but neither OS vendors nor SSD manufacturers would want that.
There's no backwards compatibility, SSD vendors have to write drivers for every OS, and so on.
Want to install the game on your girl friend PC? On your children PC? Yep... install it, but you will not get update of your game. So,... they simply release buggy version that need update and user tie with their new DRM network solution.
While each install counts as an activation, you can do this without any problems.
One time network registrations are a lot better than rootkits, dvds that only work in 50% of drives and swapping discs every time you need to play a game.
What you have totally failed to consider, is the fact that Demigod is designed as a multi player game. So single player just means you can only play vs. the AI.
Since you can't play online without a legitimate copy of the game. A pirated copy of the game could be viewed as simply being a demo.
Mod parent up. I'm not arguing with him, but merely emphasizing a key point.
... and adding OS awareness to the issue can essentially let the drive stay ahead of the random write requests, and erase blocks before they are needed, to ensure their is always a pool of completely erased and ready to go blocks available, and therefore keep the drive much closer to its 'like new speed' indefinitely.
Actually, this is the part about the new sata Trim command. And ironically a part where Anand swings and misses completely, or it's dumbed down to a level where it is completely misleading.
It's not so much about making the OS SSD aware in the sense that the OS now knows about the inner workings of the SSD, but making the SSD aware of what space is actually used for data, and what has been discarded. Knowing what data blocks has been discarded means you can consolidate discarded blocks, by moving valid data to other pages, and then erase the page full of discarded blocks, so it is ready for writing new data.
So not only do you get write performance that doesn't degrade with time, but you can also store slightly more, because you don't have to reserve as much space.
I'm surprised that you haven't killed someone, driving in that condition.
There's got to be more to life than compile-and-go.
