Pagefiles were a necessary evil when you could only afford half as much RAM as you needed, now I just buy twice the RAM I think I'll need and run without a pagefile.
Outside of datacentres (and gaming?) demand for "MORE POWER!" seems to have died out a few years before Moore's Law hits the buffers (Intel are giving up on tick-tock).
When they built Meadowhall and i was working there I got so much timber from skips I filled two sheds and had to use some of it to make another shed to put the rest of it in. I've still got about fifty lengths of hardwood dowel: I just break a bit off every time I want to stir some paint.
I got a very large quantity of 10mm threaded bar in much the same way; dunno what I'll ever do with it all. I use it for rebar etc.

I had one a bit like that (PKX 886M). Sold it in 1985 IIRC. Used to see it for a couple of years afterwards, gradually growing extra fog lights, walnut dashboard, coach lines, etc.
Owner probably got up one morning to find a pile of rust on the driveway, topped off with walnut panel and chrome fog lights...
Parents had one many years before in British Racing green, with sliding windows and pull-cord door openers. (ABL 270B)
If there was a green movememnt based on sound science and economics, I would join it. Unfortunately, most green activists don't know anything about either of them, and worse still, don't even realise they don't know anything about them.
Use the same piece every time, then when you're really old you can carve it into somthing pretty.

In that era, I was introduced to body shop in Teddington "George, the only man who can weld two bits of rust together". I had an Anglia - just as rusty
They seem to be the main party collecting the anti-industrialisation anti-capitalist vote.

That may or may not work depending in what te system is doing.
If you have a system that is running many many processes, a lot of which are dormant, pageing is a necessary evil.
Mmm. I think once its fast enough to run 3D realistic games at 50 fps, its fast enough for almost everything bar massive numerical computation.
Or its a problem that can be solved by massive parallelism anyway.
computers are actually 'good enough' now for nearly everything. The only thing that takes time on mine is video editing/processing.
The Green movement got taken over by the marketing departments of major corporates years ago.
It is now reactionary, illiberal and dedicated to its own existence and its sponsors' profits.
Otherwise known as the Pure socialist/communist/anarchist camp.
Laden with 'good intentions' without an ounce of common sense, and embracing policies that will result in the destruction of one species. Mankind.
My Mum had LCP140N in lemon yellow. My brother and myself crashed it (don't ask as we were both under 17 years old).
And need I say more?
Doug has had more paint spray jobs than an Essex girl has had fake spray tans.

Sounds pretty much like any politician.
e idea that it ain't worthwhile is just popular myth.
d it up, all done in about 20 minutes. It would cost at least £20 to repl ace, probably more, so that's £60+ per hour. And it saved me time, it wou ld take longer to find/buy/collect one, then dispose of the old one.
You have a choice get a dozen of these electrically tested for £1.29 per test or buy new ones what do you do ?
You don't waste money on tests that are not required. It would be law if they were and it isn't.

I know that and I've told managment but they need their boxes ticked and if they want to pay a few thousand every year that's for them to manage not m e.

So answer it, unless you're too brain-dead to.
