Being poor is not the main driver of terrorism. Look at the attackers, their backgrounds, and their motives.

I expect a professional Java programmer to know that "Raw object allocation is EXPENSIVE" is WRONG and OLD information: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jtp01274/index.html

"Performance advice often has a short shelf life; while it was once true that allocation was expensive, it is now no longer the case. In fact, it is downright cheap, and with a few very compute-intensive exceptions, performance considerations are generally no longer a good reason to avoid allocation. Sun estimates allocation costs at approximately ten machine instructions. That's pretty much free -- certainly no reason to complicate the structure of your program or incur additional maintenance risks for the sake of eliminating a few object creations.

Of course, allocation is only half the story -- most objects that are allocated are eventually garbage collected, which also has costs. But there's good news there, too. The vast majority of objects in most Java applications become garbage before the next collection. The cost of a minor garbage collection is proportional to the number of live objects in the young generation, not the number of objects allocated since the last collection. Because so few young generation objects survive to the next collection, the amortized cost of collection per allocation is fairly small (and can be made even smaller by simply increasing the heap size, subject to the availability of enough memory)."

There are cases where it makes sense to use your own allocator, generally for big objects, but the blanket advice you gave will cause more harm than good.

In other words, your "self explanatory" was a cover for your ignorance. The Mormon Church isn't any whackier than many other Christian sects. What really distinguishes it is that it is relatively recent (within the past 200 years), so many (especially mainstream Christians) still call it a cult, but most religions start out as cults, including the original Christianity.

Lawsuits are too late when people have been poisoned.

And you could stick your keyboard up your ass.

So your answer to not jumping through any hoops is to install a new operating system. Brilliant.

The very fact that people have to jump through a lot of hoops just to get back to where they were amply demonstrates that Gnome 3 broke things for people because they decided to blow up the world and rebuild from scratch when they had no need to. They could have added in compositing without fucking up everybody's settings, workflow, and muscle memory.

No, you're a nutter. Global warming is not going to destroy civilization, and super-volcanoes are survivable and happen on the frequency of hundreds of thousands of years. As for energy, even if we burned through all our oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear reserves, there's still going to be the output of the sun for millions of years. There is no moral imperative to leave now.

In fact, it can be argued that spending large amounts of resources on crude technology that isn't self-sustainable is a waste. We can't even build a self-sustaining biodome here on Earth, let alone off-planet.

You're just as bad as the religious people you seek to condemn.

You could lead by example and kill yourself instead of using weasel words that suggest it would be beneficial if a virus wiped out half the population.
