Get a generator that can power things from natural gas (or other available resource).
So when the power goes out, it will be seconds before the generator kicks on and the UPS are just there to keep power available until the generator is ready.
Actually wrong, reclaiming memory is done automatically when the stack frame goes away. So if a given variable only exists within the stack frame, it's going to be smarter to allocate on the stack than the heap.
Yep, it'll be dead and replaced by HTML5, SVG, h.264, VRML and a host of other hot new technologies!
Oh and on the same day, Windows will lose it's marketshare position, Linus will relicense Linux under commercial terms, Richard Stallman will buy an iPad and Steve Jobs will switch to Ubuntu.

I seem to recall watching a documentary that showed the frisbee being invented some time back in 1885 or 1886.

yeah, the clown always creeped me out as well.

Thanks for the link, but you really ought to research what you wrote, it's very, very incorrect.
Tips: Learn the difference between stack and heap, learn what malloc does, learn that garbage collection is never, ever free
Yes, jvms are starting to do escape analysis but OpenJDK ~6 and Dalvik don't.
You can't directly compare Java and C because they're different in practically every way.
In this case, n "Dalvik Turbo JIT" is 3 times faster than the purely interpreted dalvik VM shipping with android phones.
The JIT version produces code similar to that generated by a C compiler in some ways (native instructions).
It's slower than an iPhone.
Now, I have an android handset and I prefer it overall to the iPhone. But the iPhone is a better performer overall.
Once dalvik becomes more mature and has optimizations in place like these, it will be a much closer race.
Shhh, he's a PHP codah and you're just going to confuse him.

Aggrogreat!
No, anyone following the Dalvik VM and android knows it was barely optimized out of the gate.
Google's team has said they are going to optimize the vm as development progresses.
droid does?
It'd be great if you could allocate values on the stack with Java.
Heap only allocation of objects really hurts performance for physicsy stuff and other types of calculations that create a lot of garbage.
Bad luck mate.
I'm lucky. This keyboard goes to F13!
No, retards currently use Windows, it has great accessibility support.
This about making sure retards can use Linux in the future.
Actually, HTML5 is a wannabe standard like SVG, VRML, etc.
Flash is a *de facto* standard.
I definitely agree with you.

Imagine the possibilities!
Dear Sir,
You are a clueless moron.

Apparently your Slashdot ID doesn't make you any smarter.
But what I was getting at was perhaps if Linux chose a more modular design like a Microkernel, it would be less bloated.
Although it was in jest, as I think if they chose a Microkernel it would probably have ended up like Hurd and I'd be typing this from a Mac.
I need to track down John Titor so I can test my hypothesis.
Yes, I know. *I* was joking.
He doesn't joke, he trolls.
I though I wonder if Linus meant "We are not the streamlined, small, hyper-efficient microkernel I envisioned 15 years ago.".
Yes, but you have to be careful and *not* cross the streams.
Google also has billions and billions of dollars and can exert pressure on information distributors.
Google Exec: "Oops, sorry MPA, apparently you and all of your associated studios just fall off the google. Oh noes!"
I think you just had a JWASM!
