No, the old, old garbage collector was rubbish. Java has been taking crap for it ever since, even though it changed garbage collecting mechanisms ages ago.
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java performance:
"The 1.0 and 1.1 Virtual Machines used a mark-sweep collector, which could fragment the heap after a garbage collection. Starting with Java 1.2, the Virtual Machines switched to a generational collector, which has a much better defragmentation behaviour. [2] Modern Virtual Machines use a variety of techniques that have further improved the garbage collection performance.[10]"
Highly regulated 99.99% Sucrose, Oh lawd! If it's not from sugar cane, it just can't be trusted! It's a simple easily refined molecule. Besides, as other posters have already pointed out, it's all about the cheaper, sweeter, High Fructose Corn Syrup.
I can't recall EVER seeing a polycarbonate disposable bottle. PET is just so much cheaper a material. The only polycarbonate food containers I see are Lexan measuring containers. I've always been under the presumption that after a few runs through the dishwasher, anything that is gonna leech out of that will have done so.
Wal Mart actually did attempt to sell a Linux box for awhile. They figured out they could save a bunch of money by ducking Microsoft licensing fees, but not enough people wanted such a thing.
It always reminded me of how RC cars (the ones marketed to kids, not the serious hobbyist ones) would boast their scaled speed. "If this were a full sized car, it'd be going 120 MPH!" Thanks, but I don't measure my speed in carlengths per second.
That's why I have an offsite backup mom locked in a bunker in the next town. Ya know, just in case my primary mom gets teh surprise basementsecks. Because I really care.
You guys are doing a fantastic job staying on the timeline and accomplishing great science. Keep up the good work and let us know if there is anything that we can do better from an MCC/POCC standpoint.
There is one item that I would like to make you aware of for the upcoming PAO event... This item is not even worth mentioning other than wanting to make sure that you are not surprised by it in a question from a reporter. . ..
Experts have reviewed the high speed photography and there is no concern for RCC or tile damage. We have seen this same phenomenon on several other flights and there is absolutely no concern for entry. That is all for now. It's a pleasure working with you every day.

Posts like yours are why I should never read /. comments at work.

COBOL is as fast as C/C++ and used prominently within the banking industry!
Fixed That For Ya....still I'd never wanna write in it.
. . . if I owe a bank $250 million, the chinese have a problem.
Fixed that for ya.
Damnit, you beat me to it.

Academia, unlike most demographics is a bit more willing to RTFM. After which, your tasks aren't so hard.

Much better, thank you.
Sheesh, so many questions. Why worry about that junk? We'll just let the flight simulation software deal with that.....oh wait...

Actually, that could be good. Imagine Lost in La Mancha only, for the gaming industry.
Brilliant! Quick, Rule 34!
Who else read this headline and immediately thought of Arrested Development?
"No touching!"
Why does this sound like a really bad Infocom game?
My first thought upon reading this comment: "Hey that's great! It must have been one of the Google Summer of Code projects!" I suppose I need sleep :)
