  1. Re:Can't hibernate on Why Use Virtual Memory In Modern Systems? · · Score: 1

    That does sound nifty. How does this stack up to the "HotSpot" optimizations that Java and .NET CLR do?

    Im pretty sure the HotSpot name in Java is due to the JIT compilation of "Hot" methods/code.
    Regarding the memory then most garbage collecting VMs will probably touch all the used (or even allocated) pages when performing a full garbage sweep so that will mean sucky performance if much of it is in swap. Garbage collecting VMs may gain some by the use of a compacting GC which removes fragmentation and thus keeps the number of allocated pages to a minimum. All in all, the VM will probably unswap all its pages at each GC but keep the number of pages allocated to a minimum.

    The Java 6u10 update fixed a bunch of issues with applets including 64bit support and faster load times.

  3. Re:Cheap = Good for parents on Lego Loses Its Unique Right To Make Lego Blocks · · Score: 1

    They have production, packaging and distribution facilities in Poland (which I guess could be called 2nd world country).
    LEGO has been very busy in outsourcing any production in the last 10 years. The company has been bleeding for a long time and its only recently they seem to be doing better. Pretty sure we wont have any LEGO left in Denmark in 10 years :(
    Well, except for LEGOLAND which they dont even own anymore.

  4. Re:Just maybe on ISP Block on Pirate Bay Not Having Desired Effect · · Score: 2, Informative

    No they were not. They did as instructed by the court. It was during the allofmp3 case that they started using this kind of blocking. The court was presented with four (as far as I can remember) options on how to block a site, one of which was IP blocking. The court then found the DNS method sufficient despite it being possible to circumvent it. Also, I suspect the court thought of it as a "proven" technology, as an identical system was already in place to block child pornography sites.

    and yes.. I live in Denmark.

  5. Re:Not good for Paypal, but geez on Massive Disruption of PayPal Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    Personally I don't really understand why Paypal continues to have the success it does; considering it's cavalier attitude to its customers. Point me to one other company providing the same service as Paypal. And no.. not just another CC gateway, but one with the same features that Paypal has like Subscriptions, Recurring billing, etc. Not even Google checkout can match their features.

    Oh, like the US?

  8. Re:Public Domain on WIPO Creating New IP Rights Over Web Content · · Score: 1

    I only think that they would own the copyright of their broadcasted version.. so its suddenly no longer allowed to tape stuff from discovery even tho its a show in public domain. (Has anyone even heard of public domain shows/programs?)
