go google quaternions, or rotation matricies
properly understanding these sort of techniques that are used widely in 3D programming applications without having knowledge of linear algebra is damned near impossible

i dont know about windows, but, wouldn't a more elegant way to accomplish this be paging? having a very large swap on the SSD portion and a very high swappiness value would sort of do what this intends to do, without such an end-run around the entire cache architecture of the OS

if HTTPS servers had a way to ask the client to generate a certificate automatically, we wouldn't even need passwords. some IRC servers use client-side certificates instead of nickserv, and it works beautifully. i cannot understand why this very useful part of SSL is so rarely used, because it makes passwords superfluous for the most part, and it's a hell of a lot more elegant than login cookies

she revealed that she, and only she, knew the password to the hard drive over the phone. so her claims she "forgot" are not very plausible. if she hadn't done that, i seriously doubt she would be in this predicament.

it would be nice if the DOJ forced MS to open the source code to all previous versions of windows up to maybe windows 2k. that would stop them from having such a monopoly on all software made for windows in the past 20+ years, and would let the wine devs focus on getting support for new windows api stuff instead of trying to get all the old stuff working first.
