Yes slamming is illegal and there are several law suits and civil suits pending against both large and small carriers. Definitly talk to your AG's office they might have an open case pending.
Speaking of smirking prick...if you have nothing better to do than criticise my use of the English language them please don't bother to respond. As for a MIS-driod I happen to be molecular biologist about as far away from MIS at can be. If you want to see some MIS-droid crap read the SUN Licesnse for Java in the first place. If Java is to ever mature as a language then there needs to be a measure of fault tolerence that is not currently implemented in the Java Specification.
It seems as though my original point is being lost.
What I was driving at is that almost all implentations of GC are considered non-deterministic. Meaning that the programer has no control over when a particular object is GC'ed. This means that a system will behave diffenently in almost every situation. I have had situations where code I have written won't run on my local machine but will on the production server and vice versa. The key to having a long term development solution that is truely fault tolerant in mission critical situations it to develop a functional deterministic GC that works all the time every time. This takes the hardest part of enterprise development out of the developers hands.
The question still is...Why is it so hard to implemnt a truly deterministic garbage collector? This is a general question irregardless of the language.
Keep in mind that you are talking about Natural Selection. NS is not the same as evolution. NS is the mechanism that is supposed to lead to evolution. Evoluton states that via NS one organism evolves into another. All you experiment proves is Natural Selection. There are hunderds of experiments that prove that. Show me one experiment where one species of bacteria evolves into another and I'll make sure you get a nobel prize!!!
I think what we are talking about here is yet another example of circular reasoning. There are bacteria that could survive the trip so they must have made the trip. There is a serious logical disconnect there that is not easily rectified.
This type of sensationalism is the worst kind IMHO because it give the complete wrong impression of legitamate research. By setting up J.Q. Public to make the wrong assumptions you are in effect creating a truth.
Actually I found a little bug in Netscapes POP Mail Client that causes my HP10.20/Motif to hang indefinitly requiring a reboot (not a plesent proposition around here).

Why is deterministic garbage collection such a difficult concept to implement?
