You're an idiot. Disks used to be cached. These days the interface is so fast, and the ON DISK cache is large enough to cover so many sectors from the drive, the OS, nor any other third party "caches" are needed. Windows RAMdisk is STILL also where it is found. AND YES, it IS backward thinking on their part.
Linux uses a dedicated volume for the task as well as properly utilizing the RAM the machine has available.
8MB (typical) is NOT puny, dipshit. If more were actually NEEDED the HD makers of the world would use more. The chip after all would be no bigger than the currently used form factor. Get a clue. *MB of sector caching is all you'll ever need to stop most excessive "hits".
Hahahaha... Nice backpedal. NOT!
You know the english language. This is an engineering board. Do you really want to be in the same box as the drunktard Rich?

Software runs UNDER THE OS. When one refers to software, they are typically (maybe not your retarded as) referring to an application that is running UNDER the OS. To say "it is software" is OK referring to an application. To use it referring to an OS is just plain LAME. You should have said "The OS is to blame." Period.
You are f****ng retarded. Ignorance has nothing on your stupidity level.
You can't seperate swap space from cache from memory, you're a lost puppy.
Words escape me.
After you figure out the ignorant remarks you just made, you'll be the one back pedaling. That is assuming you ever do learn.
You mean I should use words like drunktard, gang boy, dipshit and the like. Rich knows a bunch more than you do brainiac. Take another toke and dream on bong boy.
There you go again, you know nothing. Grannies don't tend to muck up their PCs that much. It's people, like yourself, that tend to hose their machines up real good because they think they know it all. Yeah, guys like you pay pretty well. :-) Kids are the worst.

You're an idiot. I am on my second dual CPU machine now, and I have five other machines running 24/7 with both Windows and Linux OSes on them. Working on protein folding or SETI data segment crunching,or, at one time, the genome project. You are nothing.
I have several PCs archived away, such as XTs, 386s, 486s, 486 EISA,
2 Alphas. Hard drives to include an original Tandon 10MB HD, several RLL drives, several ESDI drives, several SCSI drives, etc., etc. My old video card collection alone would put your shit to shame.
Truth is, idiots like you are the worst.
Leaving programming isn't going to help you. That heart attack is still coming down the line for you, chump.

Bullshit. Your "visual" this or that may have GENERATED many thousands of lines of code from standard modules FOR YOU, but NO, YOU yourself DID NOT write over a million lines of code in your pathetic life. No f****ng bet required.
Like I said before. Check to see if your heatsink is properly mounted. Remove it and re-install it to see if the mounting mechanism is broken. Simply looking at it is not enough as cracks or defects may be in places that you can't see. The fan may be spinning but if the heatsink doesn't have proper contact with the CPU then the fan may just be cooling the heatsink and not the CPU.
55 degrees is actually quite safe. Most Pentiums will run fine up to 60 degrees. I tested my old P4 and found that it always reboots when the CPU temp goes above 62 degrees. Besides, your CPU temp is 41 degrees so the CPU itself is OK.
So what, I have three machines running Linux and MythTV 24/7, one of which is dual processor (as if that means anything). They also are involved in my home automation tinkerings (temp monitoring, security DVR, telephone ansering and usage logs, etc. Complementing this process, I also have a number of PIC chips running full time (my hand written assembler of course) gathering various data. Kinda hard to do all that when the only thing you know is power supplies, isn't it? Wasting electricity and baking your CPU by running SETI is not something to brag about.
I've also built/configured/installed more than a dozen Linux servers in just the last couple of years. Some of which are connected via VPNs, can you do that? Can you write Perl or Python? How about C?
I modified the ALSA drivers to work with the integrated sound chip in a new motherboard a couple of years back. Kinda tough since the bastard manufacturers wouldn't release a datasheet with the details of the newer chip. I've also written my own kernel module just to see how it's done.
Until you can do things like that, I'd caution you to STFU about my computer abilities.
I threw most of my junk out. I do still have my COSMAC ELF that I built in the 70's, what computer equipment did you build back then? Video card collection? Don't tell me, you're one of those "gamers".
You're the one set to blow a gasket, not me. BTW I haven't stopped programming, I still do it now that it's fun again.
What has "winfax" to do with "downloading a large file"????
Assuming this is Windows < XP (i.e. pure s**te) *any* application crash in general eventually take out the OS; running out of disk space kills the OS, running out of memory with no room to enlarge swap kills the OS; malformed headers kan kill "outlook" thus killing the OS when "outlook" decides to barf over the shared 64K(!) ressource space.
I think you run out of memory, some application pukes and windows decides it is ctrl+alt+del time to free some memory!

Oh boy! Myth TV! Wowsers!
It means that your remark about me being a PC user that doesn't know anything is bullshit. But we already know that you are full of that.
Good choice of words.
Hahahah... still nothing special AFIAS.
Whoopie f***in' doo.
There you go again, dipshit. When did I ever say that the only thing I know is power supplies?
Sorry, dumbfuck but those old machines burn the same wattage sitting idle as they do running a protein folding app. Only my current machine runs cooler when it isn't doing anything and hotter when it is. Maybe you'll get it right in your next life.
Whoopie f***in doo. I started a kid up, and he sells $50,000 worth of
1U Linux servers a week. As a result, I get my hardware cheaper than you ever will. I built his first servers and installed Linux for him. Now, he does it all on his own. That means that I taught him correctly. If you even come close to getting this, you might get a clue as well.
Whoopie doo.
Oh boy. He can name a few languages. I am impressed. Not!
Sounds petty. You can probably DL it now, and it likely works better than your hack.
Have you installed Linux into a Linksys router? What about the xbox? How about wireless A/V embedded devices? You know.. the lapel cams that cops use now...
Again... not impressed.
You "caution me"? Hahahahaha... you're an idiot.
It isn't junk. Your remarks, on the other hand...
Burroughs mainframes.
Hahaha... yet another bullshit comeback.
Hahahahah... yeah right. I'll "blow a gasket" laughing at your lame ass.
Right. You instal Myth TV and claim that it's programming.
