Is there any other location for that include file?-helmar (November 30, 2012, 11:11 AM)
Please note that running this program without supervision can cause your computer to not operate correctly. Therefore only run this program at the request of an experienced helper.
It is with regret that we announce the closure of Newzbin2.
A combination of several factors has made this the only option. For a long time we have struggled with poor indexing of Usenet, poor numbers of reports caused by the majority of our editors dropping out & no-one replacing them. Our servers have been unstable and crashing on a regular basis meaning the NZBs & NFOs are unavailable for long periods and we don't have the money to replace them.
Newzbin2 was always hoped to be a viable underground commercial venture. The figures just don't stack up. Newzbin1 was said to have had 700,000 registered users. In fact that was the total number of people who ever signed up in the history of Newzbin from 2000 onwards & only a fraction were active, loads of people dropped out & went to other sites. We reckon they had about 100,000 users and of those only a few 10's of thousands paid premium topups.That still made good money for the Newzbin1 guys. We never quite got the trust and lots of people said "Newzbin2 is an MPA trap", that stung us bad and we never got the userbase back. We don't have much more than about 40000 active users and the number of premium users is in the small thousands. It costs much more to run than we bring in, It just doesn't stack up.
To make things worse all our payment providers dropped out or started running scared. The MPA sued Paypal and are going at our innocent payment provider Kthxbai Ltd in the UK. Our other payment provider has understandably lost their nerve. Result? We have no more payment providers to offer & no realistic means of taking money (no, Bitcoin isn't credible as it's just too hard for 90% of people).
The tragedy is this: unlike Newzbin1 we are 100% DMCA compliant. We have acted on every DMCA notice we received without stalling or playing games: if there was a DMCA complaint the report was gone. Period. That was a condition of our advertising & payment partners so we complied but we never got a single complaint from the MPA. Not one.
Will we be back? not as a search service but we might run a blog from this site at some point.

Only after enabling that startup parameter on a 64-bit OS and having a 64-bit compiled application you can go over the 3 GByte limit to go to a 4 GByte limit. Expect to run your system into the ground sooner than later though.
As far as I know both the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows memory manager sees that there is 4 GByte of RAM, even if your PC has less physical RAM. Whatever is not there, will be delegated to the hard disk (swap-file). 2GByte of this RAM is for non-Windows processes only, the other 2GByte is also open to Windows kernel processes.
With the /3G parameter you limit the Windows kernel to just 1 GByte and whatever non-Windows process is allowed to use 3 GByte. Nether you or the Windows memory manager is going to be pleased with this. So, if you have an application that consumes 2 GByte, that application is clearly doing something so wrong it doesn't deserve a place on your hard disk in the first place.-Shades (November 27, 2012, 04:40 PM)
System PTEs
A pool of system Page Table Entries (PTEs) that is used to map system pages such as I/O space, Kernel stacks, and memory descriptor lists. 64-bit programs use a 16-terabyte tuning model (8 terabytes User and 8 terabytes Kernel). 32-bit programs still use the 4-GB tuning model (2 GB User and 2 GB Kernel). This means that 32-bit processes that run on 64-bit versions of Windows run in a 4-GB tuning model (2 GB User and 2GB Kernel). 64-bit versions of Windows do not support the use of the /3GB switch in the boot options. Theoretically, a 64-bit pointer could address up to 16 exabytes. 64-bit versions of Windows have currently implemented up to 16 terabytes of address space.
Memory allocation is set automatically.
If a 32-bit application is compiled with the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE switch set it is allocated a 4GB address space in 64-bit Windows. If not, it is allocated 2GB.
For 64-bit applications, if IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE is set when compiled - the default is set - it can use up to 8TB. If IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE is cleared it can use up to 2GB.

).This is the solution I came up with for my N40L HTPC, it is almost perfect apart from one major issue which I have detailed here http://www.tuckshots...uk/Temp/Liquesce.htm
Have you experienced missing files in Liquesce storage pools when browsing over the network?
I have since experimented with RAR files and created a folder with 500 3GB files in. This time I could only see 453 of the files over the network-Chewie (October 25, 2012, 08:06 AM)

About the only inconsistency I find with WF is it seems to drop more mouse clicks than most.
- Candidate A wins an election with 51% while candidate B gets 49% - it looks as though candidate A won by 2% (51 - 49) but then just take that 1% from candidate A's 51% and give it to candidate B : and they both have 50%

re boiling water : as most real tea drinkers know, you should not boil water when making tea - it makes the water "flat" and affects negatively the taste of the brew, just bring the water up to nearly boiling (no jokes please about whether tea tastes of anything anyway ...

Most likely the transistor in the thing is cooked, and the resistor turned into a fuse as a result of the regulator transistor shorting out.

I found out the secret to electronics a long time ago, it's "Blue Smoke" that makes it all work. If there's a break and all the blue smoke escapes, the electronic item will cease to work....
I'd be inclined to think the second yellow wire came loose and shorted to something (first yellow?) cooking that corner of the board. There doesn't really appear to be any thing else there it could have hit.-Stoic Joker (November 15, 2012, 05:31 PM)
