Memory Definition and 320 Threads

Just wondering: I know that your mirror-neurons strengthen connections simply by watching someone perform an action. My question is, is muscle memory tied to mirror neurons? Or is this not yet known? Can you gain muscle memory simply by thinking about a certain motion, rather than...

I'm learning about memory management in my programming languages class, and I thought it would be beneficial to post a small write-up detailing my current understanding so that more knowledgeable people could critique (and hopefully expand) it. Static: Static allocation refers to objects &...

Here is a small segment that was dumped after an error in a program has occurred - that does a lot of memory allocation.b7ee6000-b7ee7000 rw-p 00157000 08:02 72280 /lib/libc-2.9.so b7ee7000-b7eea000 rw-p b7ee7000 00:00 0 b7eea000-b7ef7000...

I did a quick experiment. First I compiled a simple hello world program in C++ , using a gcc compiler. The source code is 100 bytes, but the executable file it 9.6 kb. Then I dumbed the executable into hex using xxd, to check up on the 0s and 1s. It turns out there is a huge gap, almost a...

I have wondered for quite a while why memory allocation and paging in Windows seems to be so weird and doesn't want to use memory to the fullest. For example even when there is a lot of free physical memory, there are sections that are paged out. And then - physical memory never seems to fill...

I'm headed back to school again this fall at the ripe old age of 30 and I'm discovering that my memory isn't what it used to be (not that it was spectacular to begin with)! It may have less to do with age, and more to do with a chronic illness that I suffered from in my late 20s that I have...

Tsu and I have some up with a great technique. Because I have an office located about 400 feet from our house, I am always forgetting to either bring something up to the house, or to take something down to the office. So the technique works like this: Tsu tells me to bring something up to the...

Has anyone used any proven memory techniques in Maths and Physics? I am learning about them now - they are very useful for remembering tangible words, but can they be used to remember mathematical theorems and proofs say? Anybody tried and had any success? My problem is that after learning a...

I am involved in a legal case and I need to know some things about flash drives. 1. Does anyone know if it is possible to find out for sure exactly when a file was saved onto a flash drive? I know that you can acess the "Date Created" and "Date Modified" information through by right...

It is a Veritech 2GB flash memory.. I tried it on some computers.. they recognize it, but when I double click it to open it, it doesn't open and a message box says that it's not formatted, do you want to format it?... I tried to scan it by antivirus but nothing appeared... I tried to format it...

Marijuana isn't known for being a friend to memory; its short-term effects notoriously impair recall. And although the data is conflicting, some studies link cannabis with memory deficits in those who use excessive doses for long periods of time But new research suggests that one of the active...

Hi, I am using Comsol with Matlab. I have a loop in my M-file. And it seems that the memory usage of my program increases as the loop increases.. It is a very intensive program, so after a while, the program stops because there is no more memory. For example, I am running this program on 1 CPU...

It's a common observation that sometimes the slightest occurrances are remebered by us for entires lives while we forget relatively important things quite soon. Why is this so? Why can't we remember other things just like these trivial things? Is our brain working at some extraordinary...
