Psychologist Consoles Data Loss Victims
(ok.whatever) writes "A former suicide prevention counselor is employed full-time by a data recovery firm to console its callers. The San Francisco Chronicle reports: 'When the company receives a call from someone who's clearly lost it -- which can happen several times an hour -- Chessin comes on the line to help the caller rediscover their happy place.' Good grief!"
Replying to the 14th post? Boy, you need to get out less.

Oh my god, giving a free service and moderating it is absolutely horrible! Donating hours upon hours of free time for the general community!
Get a life you f*cking stupid arsehole!
To Slash-Editors - I'll just assume you'll excuse my french.
I'm so fucking bored. Slashdot sucks.
Well excuse us, for not making more of an effort to entertain you. Go back to jerking off into the gaping mouth of your dead mother under your bed. Also you are such a lame troll, it's obvious to all of us here that you are a virgin with a B.O problem.

Hey, sensible comment, thanks :-)
The problem is that we're a small company and we're based in New Zealand, which in turn is a small market. There's certainly some consultancy work that can be done (and we do), but most of the large projects are off-shore and literally half a world away.
There's no independent benchmarks yet (although we've got some beta testers doing their own performance testing at the moment).The benchmark application and source code is available in the (free!) download though.
As with all applications, your mileage may vary, that's why we've got a version up there for download for people to try out. No point in paying for it if it won't make any difference to your software, right ? If your application is not heap intensive, then probably you'll see minimal improvement. On the other hand, if for example you've got a server app that dynamically creates/destroys lots of objects in response to client requests or database accesses, it can make quite a difference. An application server I worked on for Unisys had a 50% throughput improvement. But that's not an independent benchmark of course.
Anyways, now I really *am* in danger of spamming /. ! LOL

I was trying to hurry. Eat a dick, prick.
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!!
Yeah! What's he thinking? Depriving a wonderful guy like you the opportunity to make the programs you are most likely incapable of writing run ten times as fast.
"Here I've busted my ass getting this program to print "hello world1{/.];3@&fO_#", but look how slow it is! If only that Kiwi bastard terrorist made WinHeap open source!
What kills me is how much money they (Microquill/SmartHeap) try and charge. I guess they're getting away with it because they're still in business.
If you want an open source solution by the way, you should look at Hoard. It's a bit crap under Windows (actually it's diabolical) but I think it works pretty well under *nix. Not as convenient to use as WinHeap because you have to modify/relink all your projects, but hey, it works :-)
/me waits for the "stupidly off-topic" moderation...
