Think of PAE as an apartment building. Every apartment is 4GB in size. Every tenant (process) can only occupy a single apartment. The building however can host multiple tenants because it can put them in different apartments.
Windows vista says the entire house is full when only a single apartment is occupied.
ridiculous sense of entitlement

Isn't that one of the portents of a revolution? Usually someone has some form of cognitive blinders on, so they don't see the impending disaster or at least the implications that will allow them to gracefully navigate it.

Also read as: Isn't this a sign of some big opportunity? To mangle a physics metaphor, tortured thinking is often a sign of something containing lots of potential energy, like a spring under compression or perhaps a section of continental crust. There may be a potential to profit when the energy is released. (Also the potential to get mashed up in the tumult.)
They almost invented the wheel when they invented the Mayan calendar. It's a wheel, but instead of a hole in the center being used for an axle, they put the head of one of the winners/loosers of those court bat games. So close but yet so far. See http://crankyphoneguy.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/mayancalan.... That's my theory, anyway.
STS-125 Atlantis and Hubble Solar Transit
Jared Diamond in "Guns, Germs, and Steel" argued rather persuasively that the New World did not develop the (larger than toy-sized) wheel because humans had killed off all the large animals capable of being domesticated enough to be harnessed to said wheels other than fellow humans.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns,_Germs,_and_Steel

From the wiki: "Eurasia as a whole domesticated 13 species of large animals (over 100lb / 44 kg); South America just one (counting the llama and alpaca as breeds within the same species); the rest of the world none at all."

It would seem rather pointless to make a cart with wheels and all, just to pull it yourself. Your neighbors would laugh at your claims of "reducing labor via my remarkable time-saving invention on par with the latest SCRUM practices or even ShamWOW!"
Reading my parent comment I see that it may look a bit arrogant, sorry that wasn't intentional, I merely think the topic is interesting, and hope to add some value to the conversation :-)

I think that basically what's going on here is that a simplistic voting system, such as the one we use here, and also one that carries more parameters and dimensions will always just be a simplistic overlay on an extremely nuanced and varied set of psychological rules that humans use for evaluating their surroundings, thus making it hard to accurately have karma map onto a users insightfullness (in lack of a better word) I'm pretty sure I could get a lot of karma by using psychology tricks to make people upvote me, but it wouldn't be very interesting. Or ethical for that matter.

So I absolutely agree with you: Karma isn't a measure of a users insightfullness, there's probably a correlation but it's weakened by a lot of parameters, such as the ones you describe, age of the account, and lots of other factors.

And hey, Welcome to HN, hope you like it here :-)
I was just bored with all the "I eat beans, tofu and organic rice" replies.

You can retire well even if you only make $10 an hour for 40 years. It just requires you to be very frugal with your expenses and investing wisely. Let interest do the heavy lifting for your retirement :)

- Please allow me to see content without a signup. it will help in SEO too.

- You can put up this on your hompage :)
http://www.cafecourses.com/courses/3-course-creation-101
and invite people to take up more courses (if #1 is done)

- Related courses will help when looking at a particular course (you already have tags and search, so I think it might be easy to do this)

- Your login form is a bit too intrusive for my taste. Why do I have to check my email to continue using the service? (I dropped out at that point and didnt get to see a course)
I didnt mind a signup for testing ur service but checking my email was a blocker.
I have 2 emails (both on gmail) and one I dont check at all. Used for experimenting. To see that inbox I have to signoff from my account and log in there, wade through spam to find your mail.
This reads like a bad joke!... To summarise, their proposal to "save the news industry" is to:

- make it illegal for search engines to index sites without asking for explicit permission from each and every site

- make it illegal for people to report on "hot news" that has been broken by one specific outlet first without paying that first outlet

- remove monopoly caps on news organisations, allowing them to become even bigger than news corp (as if that wasn't big enough already)

- give some tax breaks to the news industry and pay people to post ads in newspapers instead of craigslist

What world do the authors of this article live in? I sure hope it's not mine.
sure most MTAs are byzantine horrors as you put it, but it's not like they need constant tweaking either. you set them up, and off they go (both exim, and postfix). we rarely need to touch their configuration once they're up and running. so why would i introduce yet another piece of infrastructure? what do i gain with this exactly?
To me, my closest friends are like family (in the sense that I don't consider losing their friendship an acceptable cost, no matter the circumstances). So my advice about starting up with a friend would apply there too: http://danieltenner.com/posts/0005-starting-up-with-a-friend...
Sure, but being a doctor himself doesn't mean he was from a middle class background. The fact that his father was a doctor, though, does.
No but based on a few comments here where I've mentioned that I live on a boat I've started writing an e-book on the ins and outs of living on a boat. It seems to be a subject that a lot of people find interesting.

So if anyone has any knowledge or examples it would be great to hear.

Why do you think the parrot ebook is a scam btw?
At what point does hiring make sense or when does hiring not fit being cheap? It seems that you often want to stay cheap by not hiring, but if you are behind on the tech, and need it to be further along to answer questions about your business does it make sense to hire earlier and answer those questions... or try to find other cheaper ways to get those answers with out having a fully developed product.
You really think that all those bankers at Lehman sat there plotting to suck the company dry until it went bankrupt? Even though 50% of their salary was in the form of shares?
Lose is loose that's lost an O, loose has to be looser than lose to have space for the extra O.
people have been using mta pipes to all sorts of scripting/dynamic/futuristic languages for years. that's what procmail is, except it has an ugly language. however it's not like one is using this 10 hours a day. you set it up, and you are done.

if this is 1970ish, then so is typing ls (forks and pipes galore) on a terminal, and i don't see anyone complaining about that.
i'm not exaclty thrilled with the use of a SQL backing store either, more to install, more to monitor, more things that can go wrong.
I think if you do a simple calculation of how often you use the music compared to how often you use some of the other stuff you'll buy, you'll see $10 is a very reasonable number.

Really, that was my whole point. The typical CD is used dozens, if not hundreds, of times. You can easily get 100 hours of enjoyable use out of a CD. If it's a really good CD, you can easily get 1000 hours of enjoyable use out of it over your lifetime. So, basically you're paying anywhere from a dime down to a penny for an hour of enjoyment.
Economic Lessons the U.S. Forgot
There are even some foods that are just unsafe organic. Pork (less interesting to you, being vegetarian, bear with me) is not nearly as safe, there's been a rise in trichinosis cases at least related to organic pork. I know I've seen evidence suggesting organic celery is worth avoiding too, but I can't find it now.

In any case, agreed that you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to get healthy food. Expensive often doesn't even indicate better food, just more aggressively marketed at suckers that'll pay more.
It's a webpage hosted on a webserver. Can I just view the webpage with firefox please?
I love food, probably too much. My favorite things to prepare are:

- shrimp and asparagus gnocchi with basil

- pancetta-covered roasted beef tenderloin with wild mushrooms

- seafood and chicken paella

- mushroom, garlic and parmesan home-made pasta

- onion and porcini soup with gruyere-topped toast

- pizza with pesto, marinated artichokes and aged cheddar

- a garden fresh tomato sandwich with _really_ good bread

Life is too short to cut down on butter and garlic. And no, I'm not involved with a start-up right now :)

An easy way to use GNU Screen over SSH
This one is my childhood favorite.

Tuna Casserole:
1 box elbow macaroni
1 can Bumble Bee solid white albacore tuna fish (5oz)
1 can DelMonte sweet peas (15oz)
1 can Nestle Carnation evaporated milk (12oz)
1 can Campbell's cream of mushroom soup (10.75oz)
1 heaping tablespoon Helman's mayonnaise

Boil and strain pasta, drain excess juices from pea and tuna cans, mix in all of the ingredients, dump into oven safe casserole dish, bake for ~45min @350 or until the top starts to get golden.

I listed specific brands since I've found that when using alternate brands the end result doesn't taste quite as good...

Also, you can put breadcrumbs or smashed up potato chips on the top of the casserole before baking to give it a bit of crunch if you want.

My cousin came up with a pretty good take on tuna casserole that substitutes corn and chopped red peppers in place of the peas. It's more of a Southwest Tuna Casserole.
Someone as smart and determined as Sam could have made 10 million in any number of much easier ways. But the fact is that he chose to do it pretty much the most difficult way imaginable. This seems like inexperience to me, at least when you look at it from the perspective of a business person rather than the perspective of a hacker.

I ran my startup with my brother as an employee for about 4 months. It was nice working with him, but I found out later that he wasn't enjoying himself and avoided talking about it because he felt committed to me.

Maybe that's just my brother, but it still bothers me.
"People only use 10% of their brains"
True, but not necessarily the case here. I'm an introvert who is getting significantly better at acting outgoing when necessary, but being sociable seems to keep a similar level of effort.

Ask HN: What apps are essential for mac?
Just purchased my first macbook and I'm already digging it. When it comes to Windows and Linux I have a standard set of apps for both programming and security auditing that I load up. I know what's available and where to get it.

With this new mac I've already loaded up some stuff but what else is available? What are some free, and even low cost "essential" mac apps I should look into?
What the fuck is this self righteous thing that people have over others that they come to such generalizations?

Seriously, I saw it in that meditation article too.

Is there not a perspective to be gained from the people who produce "endless and useless chatting" (Also you do not know the context of people's chats. Nor do you know why they are chatting. Nor do you know how this chatting makes them feel. Nor do you know what is going to come out of this chatting. It is not fair to call it useless and endless.)?

How can one be wise if one shuns oneself from whatever one thinks and feels is activity below them?

Having a specific criteria as to what is considered "wise" is also pretty fucking stupid.

There's basically no labor component to slots (there's some maintenance I'm sure), making slots far more profitable on a $ take per square foot basis.

This is anecdotal, but I've never seen a casino tear out slots to put in table games (on a net square foot basis), but plenty of casinos in CT and NV have removed table games to add slots (frustrating as a poker player).
... , though I use it exclusively as a text editor and steer clear of its other functionalities

This is no way to use emacs.

I think it's great more people are using emacs, but there are optimal tools for everything. For programming languages such as C/Python/etc, emacs is quite powerful because you can bind it to compilers and point out syntax errors inside, have bindings to tag definitions in the depths of sources, and the ability to run the debugger and follow the source with it. But the op is using emacs for editing raw HTML, which I think would be more of a drag for the programmer, and better off using a more modern editor that supports HTML and web centric features.

His mention about M-x is the only way to access functionality is wrong. By default it is, but you can always add new key bindings to all the functions available, or write your own. If you aren't doing these already, you are severely underusing emacs (to the point it may hinder you instead of help you).

And he mentions the lameness of the .emacs file, but the biggest upside of it is, one can do all the worlds customization there and take with you where ever you go, that's the real power of it.

For any new emacs users, I highly suggest printing and hanging this reference card somewhere nearby http://mentoring.csua.berkeley.edu/files/RefCards/emacs_22_r...

And http://www.emacswiki.org

Long live emacs.
There was an HN link a few days ago to an essay about why journalists deserve low pay (but I can't seem to find the HN story.

http://www.robertpicard.net/PDFFiles/whyjournalistsdeservelo...

The changes in news over the past 2 decades is huge and structural, and no amount of Congresscritters standing at the shore demanding that the tide not come in, well, none of that is going to make a difference. Print news has rendered themselves as irrelevant as buggy whip makers.

Soon you will realize the pointlessness of the score system (no matter how it's implemented), and from there it's a short distance to leaving it behind and getting down to business (whatever is business to you). Treat HN as a class which you need to graduate from and it will make a lot more sense.
"some 3,000 of 20,000 workers died dragging one particularly massive stone, according to chronicles"

Likely the chieftan was quite fond of telling about how many people died to move his rock. If you can do dumb shit, and stay chief, you must be a powerful chief indeed.

Which is to assert that one also needs the right motives before invention.
Fresh fruit. Lots and lots and lots of it. Melon, citrus, grapes, berries in season, and IMHO, the hacker's 2 best friends: apples and bananas. Bananas are nature's perfect answer to your question, as long as they are ready to eat (brown spots) and not too soft yet. Freeze them for smoothies once they reach that point. I carry them everywhere and always have them on hand for long coding sessions. I eat little else besides fruit before dinner unless I have a lunch date.

Fruit is expensive, but forget about that. Pay for the best. The long term cost of feeding your brain and body suboptimal fuel is much higher.

No one I know can keep up with me. I believe diet is a major reason.
This is silly. You did not build your own laptop or your own accounting system, operating system or your own relational database. There is a crossover point somewhere where building makes more sense than buying, but finding that point is a delicate task for each business, a lot more complex than "yeah, just build it whatever it is".

"The fact is that most civilizations in the Old World didn't invent the wheel either--instead, they borrowed it from some other culture."

That's the essential point. Much of the Old World was a single area for long-distance trade and conquest, and the chariot in particular spread the idea of horse-drawn wheeled vehicles to many places where that technology was not invented, but rather adopted from invading peoples.
Woks are fantastic! It's amazing the variety of tasty food that can be cooked with just a wok and a long-handled ladle. Stir-fry, braise, boil, whatever you like. Fast and easy.

A few words of warning, though: First, proper stir-fry technique requires a pretty intense heat source (think smelting furnace and you're not far off). Most American stoves won't do it unless you use a wok ring. Even then, it's hard. If you're using an electric range, um... good luck. I've heard that people have good luck with the self-contained electric wok kits, but YMMV.

Oh, and DO NOT BUY NONSTICK. Teflon starts to break down at the temperatures produced in wok cooking. Highly carcinogenic. :(

Other than that, enjoy! A good stir-fried meal only takes minutes to prepare and can be amazingly delicious. Cleanup is easy too, since you've only got one pot to deal with.
I agree. Chrome is just incredibly fast, and Firefox, on the three major OS's in my life, feels slow after a couple hours of use.

In practice, I always have at least 2 different browsers open, one of them usually Firefox, but Chrome is the fastest one, used for surfing, while FF for web-dev/management-y stuff.

TextWrangler (free text editor), Gimp and Inkscape (free graphics) or Photoshop Elements ($90), OpenOffice (free) or iWork (office like from Apple $90), or MS Office ($150) depending on what you know and who you communicate with, Firefox browser (free), Xcode for Mac or iPhone development (free), Skype (free), Tweetie, no virus scanner needed for now, and an external hard Disk so you can use TimeMachine for backups are what I have added in the first 2 months with my first intel mac.

The article seems like needless complication.
Nokia E55 Unlocked US Version
With its 20-key based QWERY messaging this is one unlocked GSM phone that lets you take your email on the road even if you thought you never could. This Quad-Band GSM cell phone also features HSPA connections for high-speed upload and downloads.
This is all pretty basic... not sure why this is news-worthy.

And, as thras pointed out, it's needlessly complicated. All you need to do is:

ssh yourserver -t "screen -D -RR"

And you'll have a new screen session, or reattach to your old screen session, however you left it set up.

If you're on a mac and you want to set up a different background colour for each server, check out my tutorial at: http://www.swombat.com/setting-up-terminalapp-with-tr-0
Or to really answer your own question, you could give the rest of us other examples to consider. :)
PAE does have some benefits for x86 (admittedly, they also exist in amd46 IIRC).

The big one (aside from virtual memory space) is the NX bit. You can set regions of memory noexec.

Imagine doing this to things like the stack, or the heap. Done properly, you can mitigate the risk from buffer overflows (the program will simply crash if it ends up in the wrong spot).
It depends on the day/week/season for me. For produce I try to buy what's fresh and in season that day at the market. Protein wise I usually go for what's on sale as that's a good way to stay out of a rut.

I haven't bought bread this year, if I want bread I make it. Much better tasting and really cheap.

For lunch today I'm making chicken tacos. Chicken breast was on sale and I have diced red onion, limes and queso fresco in the fridge so it was screaming tacos to me.

"The authors take the position that persuasion is a science, not art, hence with the right approach anybody can become the master in the skill of persuasion."

My approach is a bit simpler than 50 tactics. My two favorite forms of persuasion are to be honest, and be correct. Maybe it's obvious I'm not in marketing.

The closest thing in the text to "be honest" was "Admitting you’re wrong makes people more trustworthy."

I didn't read the article carefully - maybe the book is a good read.
one of the guys I follow on twitter just recommended this:

"I can afford to spend money without regard for intrinsic value."

What is the precise definition of an "intrinsic value"? What if the "intrinsic value" consists mainly perceive value, i.e., the value of I-feel-good -- does a $50,000 jewelry have more "intrinsic value" than a $5,000 custom-made suit?
I'm recommending only free software here.
