ANY Linux swap volume found on the system gets used, and it can be instructed to save setting in a file on a non-Linux volume. scratch pad... how decades old of you. SWAP SPACE is made in RAM in the form of a RAM drive allocation. No big deal. Sheesh. Why is it that you seem to think that you are the only one that knows how to utilize the resources available on a computer. Why do you think no one else does? How can you possibly be that sad and pathetic?

Unfortunately, what she thinks she's said, and the simplest non-strict interpretation of the above words, is indeed wrong. Such is the fun when BAH uses words she doesn't understand the meaning of!

You are just pointing out that we are not able to work with all of the analog signal. This is a limitation on us not on the rest of the universe. There may still be a lower limit. If you assume that the position of lets say an electron must be stored, you can say that to store that information, there must be some bits of information somewhere. Shannon showed that to store a bit of information requires a finite amount of energy. E=MC^2 makes that energy have a mass. If the number of bits in infinite, the mass ends up infinite and the universe goes slurp down a black hole. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge |
