-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 It gives me no pleasure (well...) to gang up on a guy who obviously doesn't have the slightest notion of what it means to possess even a modicum of social grace. But in the absence of a downvote button, how else do you voice your disapproval of a community member that is as ignorant as he is arrogant and who repeatedly insults fellow users that try to help?

You should have stuck to Edition and just said, "Thanks for the answer", because now you look like a bigger idiot than when you began. A Windows version/build/release is just a collection of installed updates. That means that whatever version you install changes the moment you update it. Did you expect the devs to test every possible combination of Windows updates? Or to test a buggy old release? >>>>> Why does QWT require TESTSIGNING to be turned on?

Perfectly. Drew, thank you for refining your initial question to make it more "technical". Because now, the answer is...

(The answer starts with R- and ends with -PM.)

Well, if you're performing a Gaussian Blur on a 16 megapixel photo of Donald Trump eating a Taco using Photoshop, then you need 3,824,110,293 bytes of RAM and 2 cores. On the other hand, if you're playing Minesweeper while eating a taco yourself, then the requirement changes to 2,015,289,787 bytes of RAM and 1.42 cores.

Perhaps I should have been more explicit in that requirement? You're too modest. You make people's heads explode with your mastery of complex subjects - for fun! Just including some highlights so Jeremy doesn't feel like he's missing out. And a rhetorical question: What happens if /dev/null overflows?
