I have never had an under spec'd system. - (folkert) - (56) - Nov. 26, 2006, 01:56:19 PM EST

More to the point is will it fit on one machine? - (tuberculosis) - (55) - Nov. 26, 2006, 04:44:19 PM EST

I guess I think to simply. - (folkert) - (22) - Nov. 26, 2006, 05:09:35 PM EST

You would filewalk for every query? - (crazy) - (18) - Nov. 26, 2006, 05:22:25 PM EST

RAMFS? -NT - (folkert) - (17) - Nov. 26, 2006, 05:34:52 PM EST

That would be a radix-search, I think. - (static) - (3) - Nov. 26, 2006, 05:59:13 PM EST

Nah, you want a hash - (tuberculosis) - (2) - Nov. 26, 2006, 11:18:48 PM EST

I thought a radix search was also O(1). - (static) - (1) - Nov. 26, 2006, 11:51:29 PM EST

Gah - my bad - (tuberculosis) - Nov. 27, 2006, 12:27:44 AM EST

On a 32 bit machine? -NT - (tuberculosis) - (10) - Nov. 26, 2006, 10:52:50 PM EST

Ever heard of PAE? - (folkert) - (9) - Nov. 26, 2006, 10:56:33 PM EST

I'd call that exotic technology -NT - (tuberculosis) - (8) - Nov. 26, 2006, 11:11:49 PM EST

No, it is bone stock on everything since the P3 from Intel - (folkert) - (7) - Nov. 27, 2006, 02:18:48 PM EST

And AMD? PowerPC? ARM? - (tuberculosis) - (6) - Nov. 27, 2006, 02:30:16 PM EST

You said COMMON 32-bit - (folkert) - (5) - Nov. 27, 2006, 02:35:31 PM EST

That kind of weasel won't get you a job - (tuberculosis) - (4) - Nov. 27, 2006, 02:35:03 PM EST

This line of questioning wouldn't get you a candidate for - (folkert) - (3) - Nov. 27, 2006, 02:36:54 PM EST

Whoa - (crazy) - (2) - Nov. 27, 2006, 02:43:30 PM EST

No he got downright rude. -NT - (folkert) - (1) - Nov. 27, 2006, 02:47:43 PM EST

I'm not trying to be rude - (tuberculosis) - Nov. 27, 2006, 03:48:04 PM EST

We did - he didn't - (tuberculosis) - (5) - Nov. 26, 2006, 11:06:33 PM EST

Just saying... - (admin) - (4) - Nov. 26, 2006, 11:14:33 PM EST

But we hardly talk about programming at all anymore - (tuberculosis) - (3) - Nov. 26, 2006, 11:18:18 PM EST

I've spent the last 20 years systematically killing it - (crazy) - (3) - Nov. 27, 2006, 09:06:38 PM EST

again, see what the needs are and then ask what the solution - (boxley) - (2) - Nov. 27, 2006, 10:58:55 PM EST

One trick pony - (crazy) - (1) - Nov. 27, 2006, 11:06:48 PM EST

If that is the trick you need use it -NT - (boxley) - Nov. 28, 2006, 06:59:22 AM EST

I hope you're going to outline the solution. :-) - (Another Scott) - (3) - Nov. 27, 2006, 09:33:15 PM EST
