2011/6/5-8/27 [Computer/HW/Memory] UID:54127 Activity:nil | 6/5 In an effort to stabilize our services, we'll be rebuilding parts of
the CSUA infrastructure over the course of this summer. To give us
some wiggle room, I've temporarily decreased soda's allocated RAM from
8GB to 2GB. If you need to run something that requires large amounts
of memory, please send mail to root@csua.org and we'll try to
accommodate your request. --jordan

highest addresses at the top or at the bottom?
\_ When I explain any memory layout including stacks, I draw with the

2010/7/25-8/25 [Computer/SW/Graphics] UID:53897 Activity:nil | 7/25 What's up with that moving bit pattern that Win7 displays when it
boots up? (It's the one that's like in the Apple II days when you
use the graphics memory for code or data while it's still in HGR
mode.) Is there a way to disable that? It slows things down a lot
every time I reboot my Win7 VM on my office machine if I RDP to the
machine via DSL. Thanks in advance.

2009/7/21-24 [Computer/SW/Languages/Java] UID:53168 Activity:moderate | 7/20 For those who care btw, it looks like eclipse is now A Standard Tool
at UCB ugrad cs, probably replaced emacs. Furthermore, people get
angry at seeing Makefiles, (since eclispe takes care of that). I
guess it's just a sign of the times.
\_ The more people at my work use eclipse the less the code is
managable in emacs. I'm not sure which application's fault

2009/8/4-13 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:53239 Activity:kinda low | 8/3 VMWare + Windows XP + Validation question. I need to test stuff with
Service Pack 3 installed. I have a valid key that I own (yeah yeah I
actually *bought* a copy, please don't flame me for supporting evil
M$). Is it possible to register the key once, and then duplicate it
for testing purposes? Will Windows or Microsoft detect copies and
disable the rest the copies?

2009/5/6 [Computer/HW/CPU] UID:52952 Activity:moderate | 5/5 Any idea why the AMD only added 8 more registers with the AMD64 arch.?
Why 16 registers and not, say, 32?
\_ To double the accessible register count, you need one more bit
in the instruction stream _per_ register field. x86 instruction
set is already packed like rat's nest as is.
