The real drawback of disabling memory overcommitting is not that processes can no longer allocate huge amounts of unused memory, but that processes that use more memory that the remaining availabe RAM + swap can no longer call fork (even if

I'd half expect that argument to be countered with the proposal that since supersonic planes will have a higher cruise altitude you could just offset the climate effect of the carbon dioxide by adding enough sulfur to the fuel ( https:

The Samsung TV I got came with a pirated copy of linux, which is quite a feat (came with a copy of the GPL 3, which is a clear breach of the GPL 2 only license of linux).

No, that is not inflammatory. Physicists hoped to be wrong about the standard model since the first PETRA energy upgrade. Just look at this conference summary from 1981: http://lss.fnal.gov/conf/C810824/p1003.pdf
