  1. Isn't the garbage collector supposed to minimize. on Java To Be Opened For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Isn't the garbage collector supposed to minimize memory leaks? At least C++ has an excuse.

  7. Most companies ARE evil! on Google's Ten Golden Rules · · Score: 1

    Microsoft, Haliburton, Walmart, McDonalds, KFC, Exxon, Enron, Shell, Nestle, Coca-Cola, Proctor and Gamble, Unilever, Glaxo Smithkline, Bacardi, Exxon/Esso, Shell, Balfour Beatty, GE, Sprint, AT&T, Bell.

    They are evil by NECESSITY as they serve money before they serve the common good of the people, and use that money to control the government through lobbying.

    We, the people, do not have the power you think we do. We might feel all important about the lie that we get to choose the president we vote for, but look at the choices. To become president you have to be in bed with corporations as without their money it is too expensive to run. John Kerry is literally in bed with Heinz, his wifes company. Bush & Cheney love Haliburton. You wonder why our rights are being trampled, it is because we do not actually hold any power against them and it is only going to get worse as we approach 2008.

    Since it is not emulation of the windows API but rather a re-implementation, there is no reason the linux version can't be just as fast as the windows version.

    Because it can trigger the next ice age, like a less dramatized version of "The Day After Tomorrow." "if enough cold, fresh water coming from the melting polar ice caps and the melting glaciers of Greenland flows into the northern Atlantic, it will shut down the Gulf Stream, which keeps Europe and northeastern North America warm. The worst-case scenario would be a full-blown return of the last ice age - in a period as short as 2 to 3 years from its onset - and the mid-case scenario would be a period like the "little ice age" of a few centuries ago that disrupted worldwide weather patterns leading to extremely harsh winters, droughts, worldwide desertification, crop failures, and wars around the world." http://www.clearlight.com/~mhieb/WVFossils/ice_age s.html http://www.21stcenturyradio.com/articles/02/101014 0.html http://www.guardian.co.uk/climatechange/story/0,12 374,1083419,00.html http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0130-11.htm Or just google it yourself.

    take over if an outbreak similar to the Spanish flu virus happens. While he say's "he's not predicting" anything, he wants the military to take control of the quarentine effort in case it does.

    ...

    "A call by President George W. Bush for Congress to give him the power to use the military in law enforcement roles in the event of a bird flu pandemic has been criticized as akin to introducing martial law."

    "Giving the military a law enforcement role would be an "extraordinarily Draconian measure" that would be unnecessary if the nation had built the capability for rapid vaccine production, ensured a large supply of anti-virals like Tamiflu and not allowed the degradation of the public health system.

    "The translation of this is martial law in the United States," Redlener said."
