That's not a good solution. If he's using his PAGE file (it hasn't been called a 'swap' file since Windows 98), then he's fighting an uphill battle. The computer will begin running slow. Like Tom said, if he's suddenly short of RAM there should be a reason. Perhaps he's got some startup apps

Use Audacity to record, clean up and edit into individual tracks, then use the EXPORT option to save the files in .WAV format. Convert the .Wav files with iTunes at your preferred bit rate. 128k is the default and is adequate for headphone listening while jogging or plugging into the car

I suspect it's only a matter of time before they write a screenreader/mouselogger that will do the same thing as a keylogger. These already exist and they work at a distance. The screen display is produced by a string of bytes sent to it serially by the video card. Because it repeats at a

These are not randomizers. They wouldn't do any good if they created random digits. What they do is create the same set of digits on your device that they do at the site that verifies the digits you enter. These are pseudo-randomizers. They use an algorithm to produce digits that appear

Lossy formats like MP3 have much smaller file sizes because they remove extra information based on psycho-acoustic theory. Yeah. That sounds great--in theory. I don't claim to have golden ears, but I've been around music and recording for quite a while. The First Commandment is: Thou shalt
