Those charged by the AG in CA were charged with tax fraud. It was apparent that they were actively avoiding taxes based on recorded messages and fraudulent documents.

But will this put a damper in ALPRs from reading cellular/bluetooth radios?

There isn't a source for it. Running SQL to sync Dynamics CRM contacts with Outlook was commonplace.

WinFS was no longer required due to market changes, beyond any engineering challenges. There was no need for WinFS when cloud storage came along, aka SkyDrive.

It’s fortunate we’re on HN to easily identify this comment as sarcasm, but can you imagine being so ignorant as to believe this? What kind of brainwashing is required to think one could get an “abortion on demand” up to birth?

Truly such a belief could only come from the lowest IQ amongst humanity.

Very few games used WinCE.

I see this project as simply fun, like running NT on a Wii.

Windows doesn't kill.

Yes, you can but the fact that I have to do it makes for a poor system.

Windows will autogrow the page file (*swap file is separate from a page file in Windows; swap is exclusively for UWP apps) as needed.

It sounds like the application wanted to allocate contiguous regions of memory when none were available. That's a typical indicator of an 'early' OOM condition.

Windows will never overcommit. All pages are backed by physical memory or backing store.

Which, by default, is dumb for a presumably interactive system. Photoshop (or equiv) is going to be my "largest" process on a system. Because it's the one I'm interacting with.

Don't kill what I'm using.

> This doesn't solve the original issue and only masks the underlying problem.

You're moving goal posts. No, a page file doesn't solve the problem of a misbehaving application, but it does solve the problem of an app crash because no more VAS allocation can be made.

You should really dive into Windows Internals. Only misinformed gamers turn off page files.

Swap is not fast. Faster than it was, yes, fast, no.

Your argument falls flat when a page file can be multi-GB and automatically grow. And if your application admin was competent, memory monitoring would be part of the application monitoring stack.

An application that grows in such a way (besides having backing stores for memory-mapped files, as well) will often perform so poorly that it requires addressing (adding RAM, looking for application faults, etc).

A page file is insurance, one that can last you much longer than available system memory.

^

    The purpose of the system commit limit and commit charge is to track all uses of these resources to ensure they are never overcommitted — that is, that there is never more virtual address space defined than there is space to store its contents, either in RAM or in backing store (on disk).

This is almost always a bad idea.

If no memory is available where a page file would make a difference, this leads to application crashes instead. A crash is (usually) worse than paging.

Certain applications, Photoshop being the historical example, will outright fail to run with no page file present.

Another brain dead article.

32GB RAM is kind of the sweet-spot for gaming. For regular office work, sans all of the security software loaded on Windows by IT departments, yeah 8GiB has always been fine and is above the minimum system requirements.

It's too bad this reddit slop gets posted to HN. Really drives down the quality, here.
