Hm... Theoretically, I can't quite wrap my head around where that speed boost is coming from, but I’ll give it a shot. I tried pushing 2GB on my end, but once I realized how little sense that made, I just sold off the extra RAM.
Well, you might think it’s nonsense. But if you’ve ever actually dabbled in programming in your life, you’ll understand exactly what I mean. If not, then I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
By the way, where on earth did Lawrence Miller4 disappear to? Did he perhaps try something out, or what?
I’m personally quite interested in this issue too, even though I have a pretty good idea of how the attempt will turn out.
Maybe take a second to reread what you just wrote and actually think about it.
Just because there’s an alternative to a clunky Microsoft OS doesn't mean their software is somehow excused for having these flaws from day one. This isn't about patches or other operating systems. It’s about a fundamental issue they've been dragging around for years without a fix. What does your point even have to do with this?
Stick to the topic and help the guy if you actually know the answer. If you don't, there's no point in arguing and throwing around heavy accusations.
vividstag31! I’m busy calling out the garbage they’re feeding us, not attacking the school itself. If they can't perform their basic duties, they should step aside for someone who actually knows what they're doing. It would certainly make life easier. Wouldn't it?
Otherwise, people wouldn't be standing here lecturing me about it, you know? There's at least some merit to my point.
If the work FJBG does actually required a degree, they wouldn't even exist. Just because you go to school doesn't mean you're ready for the real world!
But there isn't even a theoretical advantage here, let alone a practical one. It’s purely psychological. 👍
Microsoft is never going to build a decent Page file because they simply lack the capability. It isn't enough to just distract the public with shiny new tech that barely operates at 10% capacity; you actually have to sit down and engineer something properly. They just don't have the knack for it, and frankly, they aren't up to the task.
Lawrence Miller4 said:Anyway, getting back to the point—has anyone actually tried what I suggested in my first post? And if you have, did you notice any real difference?
That approach just doesn't make sense; I'm not sure how you missed that. The whole reason a Page file exists is because you lack sufficient RAM—at least, that’s the theory, but frankly, it's nonsense. If you were to move the Page file into your RAM, you would essentially be sacrificing an amount of RAM equal to the size of that Page file. You'd still need a Page file on your HDD because, well, you're out of memory. I hope that clarifies my position.
On a different note regarding RAM usage, you could certainly optimize things by setting up a RAM disk and designating it as your temp directory. Just make sure your machine is connected to a UPS. I used to do exactly that back when I was working in Photoshop, and it worked beautifully.
The truth is, this entire messy solution involving the Page file in Windows isn't handled correctly at all. It's similar to how they haven't been able to properly address memory fragmentation since the earliest versions of Windows. That is likely why it feels like problems only crop up after some time has passed, when in reality, the issue was always there.
Honestly, if you believe that people comparing Natalie to Tajac—or claiming Daniel has an incredible voice, even better than Bone's—actually owe anyone an explanation, then you are being incredibly naive. The fact that there are jealous types circling Natalie, much like the two of you, only serves as proof of her talent. From what I can tell, mistypanther never actually said Natalie couldn't sing.
Keith James812 said:Leb was watching the broadcast from the local news station and decided that Natalie acts like such a total diva. In his eyes, that attitude alone means she’ll never actually make it as a singer. Honestly, reading that makes me want to reach for a shotgun.
If she didn't have talent, she wouldn't need all that "personality" everyone in the industry keeps buzzing about. But tell me, what exactly is it that YOU do for a living in show business?
dustyscout53, are you absolutely certain you didn't get a skewed perception of Natalie from watching her on TV? I mean, where does this total confidence come from? There is a massive difference between what we see on a network broadcast and who she actually is in real life!
In my opinion, Natalie is currently at the top of the pile among all generations of American female vocalists. Whether you're looking at Vanna, Nina, Angela, or the Divasice, I honestly can't think of anyone who surpasses her. They might have more experience, sure, but if we’re strictly talking about raw vocal talent, I don't know who I'd put ahead of her. Of course, we haven't even seen an arrangement specifically tailored to showcase her full range yet. I agree that a brilliant career lies ahead of her. Though, as it seems, there are plenty of people out there just waiting to trip her up.
dustyscout53, didn't she nail that "stop" cover at the factory?
I was floored when I heard her, and even Novkovica got goosebumps! Just name one American singer who could pull off something like that.
Just imagine if Daniel performed "Sunday Bloody Sunday"—that would be absolutely stunning. Just because someone else covers a song for Julia now, especially a younger artist, doesn't mean Daniel’s version is any good. I could never get used to his interpretation, and honestly, that track doesn't even compare to Seagull. But hey, to each their own. The fact remains that Natalie killed it with Seagull, which is exactly why the crowd demanded an encore. And really, who are we to judge whether she nailed it or not? Aside from the people actually in the room? You and me?
Look, regarding Natalie's curves, I've seen better and I've certainly seen worse, but that's hardly the point here and I have no desire to derail the conversation. My impression is simply that she isn't trying to use her body to force her way into the spotlight. Maybe you know her personally and see things differently, but watching her on TV, it's hard to come to that conclusion.
Sure, even the people who called her out for an encore realized she didn't nail the performance, right? It was clearly just a group of amateurs over there. I honestly don't know what you're all talking about. Let’s get real for a second. The song itself was performed perfectly fine; whether Natalie Portman is a genius or not isn't really the point here. You can't compare Tajči to Natalie Portman under any circumstances—Tajči relied on stage presence and gimmicks, and her vocals were mediocre at best, if not outright subpar. It's like trying to compare Bono to Daniel.
Hebes will leave me completely bewildered if that video of hers doesn't air on NBC one more time. Just for the soul. You've missed out big time if you haven't heard that!
Honestly, I’m pretty sure Nives Celzijus could have delivered a much better vocal performance. And don't even get me started on how "brilliant" she is in her private messages! 🙂
