Facebook would have been nothing if it weren't for the popularity of Myspace. Facebook also would have been nothing had Myspace continued to innovate and grow, giving users fewer compelling reasons to switch.

Great unbiased journalism: "Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software."

Strange journalism, there isn't any quotes in the article that actually cite competition from Apple as the reason for the closure. Editorialized?

Yes, I can't imagine how anyone would expect people to take them seriously when they write blatant fanboy crap like this, while commenting about Apple's competition.

Sure, you could do all that with iPads and Wifi, but have you actually tried it? I suspect the usability will not match up, due to a slew of technical issues and lag.

Yes, this would be tons more philanthropic and if it were just readable. Just some simple line breaks and variable names that meant something. It's not impressive that you can just cram stuff into 99 lines.

Re:iPhone Memory Management Links and Resources
on Monday January 26, 2009 @11:58PM (#451677)
Well, its only got 128MB ram and flash storage...so there is no virtual memory I suspect. I'm sure the OS takes a big chunk of memory, with the possibility of background tasks eating up more. With a garbage collected system, I'm sure you'd routinely see performance hits when the garbage collector runs as it frantically tries to free storage with low and fragmented memory conditions. Not to mention the extra battery drain to constantly scan the freeable pointers. This is an embedded device with big limitations...you need to be more mindful of resources.
Re:Hacking the .SVN directory
on Monday January 26, 2009 @11:27PM (#451653)
Why are you pushing files with rsync with a working copy? That is what "export" is for. There is no special security in the .svn folder, because you are not supposed to publish it to the website.
Re:Why use garbage collection
on Thursday January 22, 2009 @10:46PM (#445889)
I hate the whole argument of the "problem" of hanging/dangling pointers as reason for GC. Is GC only for covering up your n00b mistakes? GC will never be a reasonable management scheme for realtime or limited memory systems, where programmer responsibility and predictable behavior is required.

Misleading. The file is not actually a recording, but a set of parameters to drive a simulation. It's really just a glorified MIDI file.
