    write JVM agents if you really are in deepshit but try visualVM first...
    I never stumble onto a JVM leak (I am sure that some must exist) but I did ran into application developers with no knowledge whatsoever of the java memory model. The most frequent sources of java leaks I saw in the field are unbounded caches that do not use WeakReference or graphic code that do not call dispose to free the system resources in combination to a heavy load preventing the finalizers execution.

    c++ is a language .net is a platform. They are not mutually exclusive. Now why would anyone use a language design for run-time speed like C++ on an virtual JIT'ed architecture, with the obvious exception of porting black box like code, is beyond me !

    here is my progression and why some us are talking about higher cost:

    1988 : 9600 : cost by byte = 200$/(total bytes downloaded and uploaded for the modem life; free bbs)
    1993 : 24.8k 30$ for 60hr of net
    1995: 33.6k for 30$/100hr of net
    1997: 5/1Mb unlimited cable for 40$/month
    1998: 10/2Mb cable for 55$/month
    2000: 5/.768 unlimited dsl for 30$/month cable was at 80 for 10/2 and it had a cap of 100Gb

    yeah, I understand the rarity of my dream position (I solve complex problems, spec the boring part and mentor developers), as I love my job I will put overtime if it is needed. However I have the luxury to refuse to have a cellphone. If you read my profile, I work in a business were we sell high-priced, hard to acquire, diplomas, therefore my employer require those diplomas and pays accordingly...

    About the profession you noted, I did not talk about the diploma acquisition cost, that is another related but different debate. I talked about the cost of skills maintenance. In many provinces in my country, that kind of continuous formation is mandated by the different professionals associations.

    You can better yourself at home on your own equipment as it is unethical to do anything but work your ass off when you are being paid. Also what if you write a cool killer app or FOSS project? Guess who owns it? IT wont be you on company equipment and time.

    You are either a shitty employer or a moron with a misguided sense of loyalty. My employer who I respect, agreed to sent me to listen to a tangentially related presentation (it was a CS MSc presentation in a department on our main campus) for 2 hours when my salary is just under 40$/hr, it won't bring them anything else than maintaining my analytic skills sharp and more importantly my gratitude.

    Also, I would like to have you remark that no other profession, are required to train on their own, layers are mandated by there board to received paid training by their cabinet, so are doctors, so are architects and so are accountant. Do you want to be considered like a professional or a code monkey ?

    I guess people just can't be drug addicts anymore once they get a degree or something.

    It is worse than the, you are actually authorized to become one if you have the right job, I was missing my 20's legendary concentration ability, I talked to that to my company doctor and came out whit a prescription for 720 pills of 30mg dextroamphetamine-levolysinate. I am starting my seconds year on that, here are the effect I benefited from: a toned musculature, ripped abs, excellent cholesterol level and excellent energy(d'uh), stopped cannabis abuse, and yeah!, my concentration is back to a level I never experienced. However I am now addicted and if I forgot to take my pills I feel slow as fuck, to the point of being a borderline retard, and I am extremely irritable.

    I also have a relative, a wood worker, who takes street amphetamine for the same purpose, he do not takes more than half a pills a day and it enable him to stay focused. He is also addicted.

    Can someone tell me why my addiction is legally and socially acceptable but his is not ?
