Garbage collector collection phases are not a performance bottleneck. In fact, a GC language is amortized faster than a language where deletes happen as soon as possible. It is possible to code a real time garbage collector for Java at least (I don't see a problem with C# but I've never studied the internals).
Just because some poorly written virtual machines are slow, does not mean garbage collection phase has to take an appreciable amount of time.
I grade homework, people who 'write comments on the non-obvious parts' are always lacking enough comments for me to quickly understand what they did (even though I wrote the assignment!).
You should be documenting at least once per method/function, and I tend to find it a good idea to put a comment above every block larger than 3 lines long.
You have got to be kidding me. You guys realize you are talking about like 90k/year worth of salaries for this whole department? That's including the benifits they wouldn't provide! Hospitals blow through that on a daily basis.
Many people, including myself fear that all the "nooby" areas upon release will have massive amounts of players attemping to quest and xp. Choking the areas, and creating a sort of frustration. Hopefully it won't be as bad as I fear.
The first 14 hours will be horrible (they always are). I recommend not expecting much xp during that time.
After work the second day things should be back down to playable.
Anyone who needs emergency treatment gets the emergency symptoms treated. They are then promptly sent back out with no consideration of other symptoms.
What everyone in this country has apparently forgotten, once a certain number of people vote yes or no, further votes don't matter. These numbers are almost always known before the vote is recorded.
Why should they show up?
Seriously, did the entire country skip that day in civics class?
I really do think you're miscasting how people would react to Canada, but it's about to degrade into making fun of Canadian calvalry if we keep going:).
Well I have to agree we did nothing but fuck up during the CMC, but even with all the mistakes we managed to come to an acceptable solution between both parties.
As for the end of the world? I can't speak for others but my objection to Iraq is I don't want to be drafted into a war I don't support. Unfortunately I'm not convinced either candidate can avoid the draft at this point.
And you know as well as I do that you're misrepresenting the global test there. I thought it was pretty clear it was an (unfortunately worded) idealogical test that needed to be passed. I thought the point was that if people violently don't support you there can be severe consequences played out over many years, and you need to do everything you can to appease everyone that you can appease. Such is the game of statesmanship.
Er, I hope most people are aware of the fact that (most?) reactors are built so they cannot go critical even in a meltdown. Then again, it is the average person we are talking about here.
Uh, Canadians have no desire to fight a gurilla war with us. Not to mention we would win a gurilla war almost instantly once the winter came to such a temperate climate.
It wouldn't be a thousands of deaths situation. Invading Canada might cost us a few hundred troops and them (depending on how set they are on dying) a few hundred to a few thousand troops.
You need to remember, Canada has next to no military infastructure to work with, and unfortunately calvalry haven't been useful in war since WWI;).
Right, so we agree that nations take part in covert actions against their neighbors and and then deny it later.
You're forgetting two things. We had a lot of support in the CMC because we played the diplomacy right, even though it was all hush-hush while it happened. Second, you're forgetting we are the US. We have a veto on the security council, and frankly unless we continue being dumb our economy would fuck up a lot of people if it crashed.
And you don't get to hush-hush the detonation of a nuke. It shows up on seismographs in China, and will be tracked by the radar of several countries.

Repeat after me, JIT compilers are not interpreters. If your code is important enought to hit the compilation phase, it turns into native code.
It's a really simple concept.
I'm sorry. I've probably written 200kloc of Java in my life. I have never noticed this painful repitition? Where is it?
Thanks,

It would be hard to develop a large project in Ruby without a pseudo-language self-imposed contract on top of the language since it is so loose.
This is my definition of scripting language.
If people are going to use .net, then these other langauges are not important. If they are not, that is where the competition comes form.
You have got to be kidding me. You guys realize you are talking about like 90k/year worth of salaries for this whole department? That's including the benifits they wouldn't provide! Hospitals blow through that on a daily basis.
Seriously,
Perspective.
The hospital I worked at had full time employees that did this stuff.
Showing my ignorance about cryptography and lattices. What sort of problems can you do with a lattice that is not easily reversable?
You mean `dd`?
With logic like that... ...I got nothing.
Many aren't stable over the time periods in question.
You might get the speed but not the range
Or you might get both.
Or you might get hit by lightning.

Holy jebus, someones in hardcore term paper mode.
Well written.
Well aren't you special?
God it's like talking to a genius who feels compelled to mention his genius status.
You. are. a. god. damn. elitist. idiot.
And, yes. Commercials. do. change. your. opinion. about. products. you. don't. care. about.
Your going to have a viable machine there for perhaps 1 or 2 more years.
WTG shooting yourself in the foot.
Article seems to imply Best Buy has service staff that interact with the shoping customers. This is confusing to me, because I have never seen them.
They already exist, and many mainstream churches mary gay couples as well.
That sort of knowledge is pretty useless.
From both sides.
Still not entirely correct.

Unless you have health insurance.
Here's how you could get senators to stop voting:
