now that we have a fast, cheap and ubiquitous network.
We do?
Will my software run on 7 or 8? NO.
Sorry about your crappy software. I have yet to find something that won't run on 8.
So you're saying Russia is doing this out of concern for the privacy of their beloved citizens? Would you be interested in a beautiful antique bridge in Brooklyn I have for sale?
it is difficult to get working with various Enterprise Java applications without disabling Protected Mode and completely unsecuring it
Wait, are you complaining IE is too secure?
I think it's not just about memory management but more about understanding what's really going on in the CPU while your program is running, and memory management is just a part of that.
Some of this stuff is still very relevant today. If you want to understand how a buffer overflow exploit works you need to understand what's happening in your program at the level of bits and bytes in the processor.
It wouldn't hurt to take an assembly language course, preferably one that uses some small 8-bit processor. Nothing gives you an appreciation for the mountain of layers of software piled on top of the CPU these days like having to write your own function to divide two numbers.
These dimensions of yours; how big are they? Last time I bought one when I got it home and opened the box I couldn't even see it.

They say that almost 20% of the world's population is Chinese. However there are no Chinese people working in any of the offices on the same floor of the building as me. Therefore I conclude that all these so-called experts are wrong and there are in fact no Chinese people.
They just need a catchier name.
"Dollars"?
This is why I now only use open source.
Yeah, because it's not like there have been any major security flaws found lying around for years in open source software lately.
Whoa, a [b]whole[/b] twenty gigabytes? Man, that's about a $1.20 in hard drive space.
Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
