Correct me if I'm wrong, but while the JVM doesn't free memory, it does recycle memory from it's allocated space. So, just because you might have accumulated the max memory your JVM might allocate, that doesn't mean your app isn't releasing memory back to the JVM. Kind of like super fetch except allocation is passive.
I've been under the layman's impression that electronics are priced on the low-volume for X profits side as opposed to the high-volume for X profits side of the curve. Does this indicate that maybe that isn't such a good economic model, or is this a fluke case were demand will quickly evaporate?
The problem is that culturally we look at CEOs as corporate superstars and not just employees. The attitude is that the company is an extension of the CEO which is probably only true in rare cases (like Jobs). So, the storyline becomes "we have to pay for talent" and not just another cog in the corporate wheel (upper management). I'm sorry, but running a corporation doesn't take billion-dollar bonus talent.
Interestingly, we used to have our tax code structured (via extremely high top-end tax rates) to prevent this precise thing from happening. It used to be 90%! Law makers were pragmatic enough to know that in the absence of some regulatory brake (disincentive by reduced net wages for CEOs), upper management would eventually get smart enough to bleed their respective companies dry. Of memory, I think it was Dick Grasso who was the CEO of NASDAQ years ago. The company made $800 million one year and he got a $200 million bonus!
Now that's the CEO. Don't forget about all the VPs underneath them and what they're getting as well.
Next time you're out at a bar, hopefully a social dancing type place, do this. Go up and talk to at least 10 girls. Don't stalk, don't wait to check for boyfriends or openings, don't take your buddy over with you. Just any time you see an attractive girl (stay away from the models) go up *IMMEDIATELY* and talk to her. And, LISTEN to her. Don't use a pick up line, but you might want to have a polite simple intro and few questions.
Second, cut down your conversations to no more than 5 minutes. Regardless of how well things are going, cut off the conversation (or if she does that's just as well) and abandon all contact with each one (unless they reinitiate with you). Don't stare to see what the last girl is up to. Move on to the next one and forget about the previous conversation.
If you're getting stuck, watch for another guy trying to initiate a conversation with a girl and listen to the kinds of things he says.
I can see some cool uses like any kind of mobile document access, anything from mechanics to cooks' recipes. Unfortunately, the one use I'd actually buy one for isn't supported. I'd drop $500 on one if I could get school textbooks in electronic form (legally folks).
A friend of mine from my bar days was (probably still is wherever he may be) a dispassionate, almost woman-hating pickup artist and he explained the secret like this. You've probably figured it out from the nature of all the posts here. Most women in bars are basically waiting for Brad Pitt to walk in trailing a fluttering path of $100 bills, give them the funniest, romantic, enticing sales pitch they've ever heard, then whisk them off for the night in his stretch limo. And, most will sit around all night waiting for it to happen. His approach was basically to go up to any woman he found attractive, drop his pitch with zero expectations, rinse/lather/repeat, then later in the night when they all start to figure out that Brad Pitt isn't showing up, they'd start trickling back over to him.
I guess the point is, there is no "The One For Me" when you're out on the town, just a whole bunch of prospects. Don't get offended by rejection because the expectations of most of the women you'd be interested in are unrealistic anyway. Oh, and either be confident or fake it. Get your pitch together and treat the pick-up game like a training exercise that takes lots of practice. Sure, there are *some* women out there above these frivolities, but they're few and far between and landing one isn't some sort of panacea. Play the odds.
I read a story from a girl who took her laptop in to Best Buy for work (Geek Squad?) and found that the video cam was routing output to one of their addresses. I never use mine and it's something I would have never even considered checking.
The "scientists are tricking us" motif is already well cemented in the minds of the GW deniers. Coming out with vindications this far from the initial story is like farting in the wind.
Wrong. The lions share of our debt comes from the deficit caused by the Bush tax cuts and the unbudgeted spending for the Iraq war. I saw a chart from a couple months ago that attributed about 10% of our $14 trillion debt to Obama.
4 day weeks work well for *some* jobs, but not well for pre-college students. I shudder to think of what high school kids with a whole day off will get into.
AT&T was funneling network traffic directly to the Feds and walked Scot free for capitulating. Unless there are lock tight rules for suiting the s**t out of corporations that violate our privacy, a judge's "stern rebuke" means jack squat to me.
Even if you're a White male and you've never unleashed a police dog or fire hose on someone of color doesn't mean you haven't benefited from past racist policies in our country. Affirmative action is a pragmatic policy to "right past wrongs." That promotion your grandpa got over mine, that allowed him to buy a house in a better neighborhood, that allowed him to send your dad to a good school, that gave his children the financial security to take risks like startups; that's the institutional problem AA was designed to counteract.
Somehow, we've created a upper class generation of Marie Antoinette's who have no clue how good they've got it. One of my roommates in college was a really nice, mature (and HOT) White girl who would proudly proclaim to anyone listening that she paid her way through college. Now, she didn't pay her rent, didn't pay her bills, didn't buy her car, didn't pay for her own books, and only worked 10 hours a week at her sorority. But, she probably paid her own tuition (I imagine). In her mind, hell maybe she *was* making a sacrifice after having to listen to stories from her sisters who hooked up with hot Latin guys on their Cancun Spring Break.
One of my favorite examples of affirmative action at work. The NFL had a self-recognized inability to hire Black coaches. Just like on this site, everyone just assumed that there were no good candidates. Art Rooney, owner of the Steelers pushed the idea that every owner should have to interview at least one minority hire. While there was no guarantee of a job, it got a lot of Black candidates exposure. To top it off, Rooney hired a very young talent named Mike Tomlin to head the team. In 2 years, he took a.500 team to the Super Bowl and in 4 took them to their second.

Using bacteria (or any other process) to rearrange the chemical bonds of a substance doesn't come free. It consumes energy.
You mean like photosynthesis?
I doubt Gosling has problems managing memory in Java.
At that price point, it's worth the risk to see if I can find good use cases for myself. Experimenting with this technology at $400 is a non-starter.

You buy electronics at crackhead prices, don't be surprised if you get burned. About as dumb as people who download hacking binaries.

The setup I'd want is even more expensive than this one though.
And, I say this as a guy still playing Battlefield 2 almost daily.
Over there at least.
A billionaire's porn collection is called a "harem".
Making it a shoe binds you to just one pair. With insoles, you can use them all the time.

It happened to a girl who regularly posts to a local forum, so I have no reason to doubt her story.

Does that mean there's some slight difference from the theoretical model or just an artifact of how the cloud was imaged?

If I'm understanding your post, you misread mine. I'm saying there *aren't* lock tight rules...
