Stouffer

How you getting on Snez?

Rather than banning him he should be subjected to a right good kick up the arse. A ringbuster if you will, something of the magnetude that would prohibit him playing for a month anyways. And if the FA want a volunteer to administer said ringbuster, give Pedro a bell.

The FF is getting worse because there is no quality control and you have to delve deeper and deeper into the shit to dig out the gold.

Is it just me or are the more arguementative posters now fighting to get space. Before there were a few who were controversial and thrived off being so. Now there are more arguements as some fight to be more extreme than others. Threads always seem to end up as arguements as there is much less tolerence.

You bunch of arses.

If your previous address is now occupied by Evertonians I'd just leave it if I were you.

Yeah, like bluenoses can read!

If I'd moved it to the GF the regulars on there would have moaned about it dragging down their forum too. It had turned into a private debate.

Feeling what you're saying there aws. The GF has much more important things to debate, like ice cream and films that will never be made.

Really the thing that makes this place is the lack of moderation or intrusion. Chaos rules, and I like it.

2-1 to the funkpump today, woohoo!

Disable system restore as it may mean that the code will be able to re-initialise itself whilst your trying to sort the problem.

Sounds like you could have spysherrif.

1)Disable system restore.

2)Run your anti-spyware progs and see if they pick anything up.

3)Run regedit, to key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

"Wallpaper"=SZ:C:\WINDOWS\desktop.html

Backup your registry, then delete the key.

Lad at work who's not overly enigmatic is called chisel.

A lot of good advice has been given below, I'll add that additional Geeky touch to it below. And then also lay it out in laymans terms, or a 3 year olds terms if you so prefer, if I can.

 

 

 

No, you don't necessarily need to reboot, you can free up some of that VM (Virtual memory) and/or real RAM (Random Access Memory) by closing down programs, processes, windows in programs etc, which might take up memory. I don't know whether Windows has a memory usage tool, which allow displaying which processes/programs etc that take up memory? I never use Windows, so have no idea, but on *NIX's using top and ps will display the memory usage by program/process.

 

 

 

Yes it should, and no it shouldn't be a problem.

 

 

 

ok, the background for this. There are several kinds of memory that can be used on a computer. There is RAM and there is VM. There is also VRAM and cache on the processor, but in the above question, those 2 last ones are not something to worry about. VRAM and cache, i.e. Level 2 and Level 3 cache are being used to either, do graphics extensive calculations, i.e. OpenGL games (VRAM

As for the physical amount of RAM, i.e. the RAM modules in the machine, along with any external Memory sticks that the CPU can use to store information in, these are normally used for any active programs/processes running on the system, however if you have alot more physical RAM in the machine, compared to what the active programs/processes are using, physical RAM is also being used to store inactive programs/processes. This is normally the case, and the OS will take care of this for you, however when you're writing s/w, you can decide to hardwire specific portions of your code, to load into physical RAM, whether this portion of the code is being actively used or not. Hardwiring something is normally frowned upon by the developers of the different OS's, since they believe the different mechanisms they have in their code, is better at distributing code between physical RAM and VM, however the low level portions of the OS's, i.e. EFI and BIOS, as well as low level portions of the OS, for instance parts of the kernel is hardwired on *NIX's etc. Also, if you have an app or process, which will be doing a lot, (and I mean a hell of a lot) calculations, need to access some part of the code a hell of a lot etc., then you would hardwire the memory, to be using the physical RAM.

Compare this to VM which is also sometimes called swap or cache file, which is normally intended for inactive programs/processes, i.e. for instance a scheduling task which runs once every so often, and then just lays idle, this would normally be loaded into VM at bootup, then when it gets active, i.e. it needs to run its scheduled process, it will be loaded from VM into physical RAM, do whatever it needs to do, and then get unloaded from physical RAM back into VM.

Now VM is much slower than physical RAM, since this is limited by the speed of the HD (and the extent of fragmentation to the VM file, however this again then comes down to the speed of the HD, so low level, it is all down to the speed of the HD), which is why active programs/processes etc. are loaded into physical RAM and inactive programs/processes etc. are loaded into VM.

Now Win XP is using a set amount of VM, which can be exhausted, whereas *NIX's lets the OS control how much HD space is allocated to the VM file. This has the advantage of the OS controlling this, depending on the usage of active/inactive processes/programs etc., whereas if this is up to the individual program/process itself to decide which needs to be loaded where, you would get a much less responsive OS, since you would have a lot of programs/processes potentially fighting for the same amount of physical RAM, and you would therefore get a lot of page-ins/page-outs, i.e. lots of pieces of code loaded into and out of physical RAM and into out of VM, which will cause a lot of HD activity, leading to it taking longer time to save a document, get info from a cache file etc. Not good if you're looking at performance from a program/OS. This ofcourse alo leads to more usage of the HD and its mechanical components, leading to shorter life span of the drive, which again is bad.

 

Thats the bare basics, then ofcurse you also have bus speed, CPU speed, page faults etc., which also play a part in this.

 

Now to the explanation for a 3 year old.

Lets say your hand is equal to physical RAM. Lets say VM is equal to a cup on your desk. Lets say a Hard Disk is equal to your desk and lets say your programs and processes running on your system are pencils, pens etc. some of them will be laid on your desk, i.e. they will be on your hard drive, but that is all, they aren't running at this moment. You take a pencil and this will be the same as launching an app and putting it into physical memory. You keep picking up pencils from the desk, until your hand is full, this is akin to the amount of physical ram being full, and you will then have to put some into the cup, i.e. you will have to put something into VM. At some point your cup will be full, this is akin to the message you got. Now you can do several things here. You can get a bigger cup, i.e. make the VM bigger, however it can only be as big as the table, minus the place already used by papers, pencils etc. already on your desk, which is akin to what the OS is trying to do, when it tries to increase the VM file by itself, you can take some of the pencils from your hand and place them back onto the table, and place some of the pencils from the cup in your hand, this is akin to closing some programs/processes from physical RAM, you can place some of the pencils from the cup onto the desk, this is akin to closing some inactive programs/processes from VM, you can take 2 hands into use, this is akin to adding additional physical RAM into your computer.

 

Understand?

As I said, reboot.

Or buy an Amiga!

I always thought that the boffins have had this physics stuff wrong. They worked out the speed of light ages ago, but nobody seems to know the speed of dark.

I think he is is on polish.

:D Supoib.

How about if you paint it orange?

Wanking spanners - Hands.

It's part of their sentence. They have to have inept players to keep them in Serie B.

I'm just being bitter, Boumsong was keeping the dream alive for me because if that useless sack of shit could play in the top flight I was still in with a chance. That's gone now.

...on the TLW, just to advise a change in user-name, to avoid confusion. As a turning point in my life, ie, getting married, I decided it was time to reflect this new grown-up-ness with by logging on from now on as something approaching a reasonable name.

 

TAFKACFG.

 

Walk On.

 

PS - Cheers Dave.

I liked your old one better!

Have Juve just won some sort of bet?

If you sign the worst defender on the planet your sentence will be reduced kind of arrangement.

The place has gone mad. I don't know who's who anymore.

you must be still hammered if you think garcia or anybody bar crouch deserved an 8 for last nights performance.

The thing about Garcia's performance last night was that he missed what could have been some important chances, ones he should have done much better with. Normally when Luis does that it's because he's gonna score a belter, which sadly never came. A 5/6 is a fair assessment if you ask me.

As per usual, Crouch's touch and hold up play was superb. Crouchamaniacs everywhere will be very happy this morning.

TV save if you ask me...

I'd have caught it, one handed!

:whistle:

Momo is actually made of steel. So a bit of WD40 and he'll be right as rain.

For juicer read toastie machine, George Forman, electric veg steamer. Great for a week, dusty for the rest of the time you have it.

Brandy usually works for me. Numbs all sorts of pain.

Kronenburg Blanc is also ace.
