The physical address space of the IA32 architecture is 4Gb, but the upper 1Gb is usually reserved for memory-mapped I/O, leaving 3Gb of RAM available. Above 3Gb you'll need PAE as alluded to above. Video memory is not directly addressable to the CPU, only to the GPU. The graphics card maps an aperture into the upper 1Gb; that aperture may be the size of the entire VRAM if there is sufficient space, or only a portion of it if there is large amounts of VRAM. This is partially correct. With PAE enabled you will have access to the entire 4Gb of RAM, the 512Mb of VRAM doesn't affect anything as it's probably going to be mapped somewhere in the now-64Gb physical address space.

Check the drive with a low-level diagnostic program like MHDD. http://hddguru.com/content/en/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/

Umm... lab?

MODEM TESTER didn't come to mind?

Exactly my thoughts. Any decent digital camera will be recognised as a USB mass storage device.

XP is very insecure. I've gotten around all of the access restrictions of all the public computers I've ever used, as far as I remember. You needn't worry about DeepFreeze, it only acts to save the state and helpfully "clean up the evidence" when you're done with the machine - just reboot.

I hope you don't expect for it to live much longer. If the OS acts like a live cd, then it will make minimal writes to the flash drive.. it will mostly just be reads into ram Yes, it's a ramboot. Very stripped-down 98se running from a 64Mb ramdrive.

The best solution would be to allow PostScript files to be uploaded, since most laser printers can print PostScript directly.

My XP (and that of many others) is highly stripped down and it does what I need it to... with Vista there are even more features that most users don't use or even have no knowledge of and will never use, so the gains may be higher.

Something you're supposed to swing around shouldn't be smooth and slippery unless it was designed to be let go of... I think they made a bad design decision hre.

Briefcase don't work?

Expensive but available. Do a Google search.

I carry a whole OS on my flash drive, and it's bootable.

Was it a Sony? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Copy_Protection

Is there by any chance a CTFMON.EXE running in the task manager? Kill it.

If Vista's main setup program has command-line switches there's probably one to disable the memory check... Maybe a highly stripped-down version of Vista will be fine with 384Mb...

Only 300Gb, and at 20MB/s? 2 terabyte multi-plattered 5.25" Server drives have existed for quite some time... though they aren't exactly cheap, but I believe they were in the $20,000USD range the last time I checked. As for 3.5" units I'm not sure but I found this 750Gb one: http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsa...081,745,00.html

Have fun trying to parse varying-format data efficiently First example I can think of is TCP/IP packet header/trailers. Some fields are there, some are not, depending on other fields (which themselves may not be present and are dependent on bits in other fields, etc.)

More info: http://www.searchlores.org/obscure.htm I run an SSL proxy on my machine at home and carry with me a small program that uses a proprietary (I wrote it) encrypted steganographic protocol going through port 80 (basic functionality: hide stuff in HTTP headers) when I need to use restrictive computers at some institution for internet. Hasn't failed me once

It... is a torrent client

Have any of you even been exploited by this supposed "vulnerability"? I haven't... and I crawl all over the Internet.

As illegal as using your VCR to record TV View the source code and find out where the stream is coming from (hint: one of the parameters in the Media Player embedding tag). If you're lucky you'll find the direct link to the file. Otherwise, there are programs called "stream recorders".
