Be brave enough to try the 0.9 "Trunk" branch rather than the latest 0.8 release; there are a lot of nifty changes to it.

Comment I love code reviews (Score 1) 495
Unfortunately, we stopped having them due to a reduced group size. Also, last time we had it, the arrogant snob being reviewed fought every single optimization suggestion from the team members and didn't put in any. Then-again, due to the eventual group size reduction, I eventually implemented all the optimizations and his code runs much better now!

Further research revealed it to be a problem with the J2K image reading class of Sun's Image-IO JAR.
Submission + - JAI Image-IO Mem Leak fixed, but submit is missing (jpedal.org) 1
JoshDM writes: "The JPedal team over at IDRSolutions discovered a memory leak when processing JPEG2000 (J2K) images. Further research revealed it to be a problem with the J2K image reading class. They've resolved it and want to submit a patch to make it available, but apparently the Image-IO repository hosted on java-net isn't taking commits. They're hosting a repaired JAR on their own site while they wait to hear from anyone (read: Oracle) who can accept the patch."

The 7.1-magnitude tremor triggered a brief tsunami warning, and forced workers to evacuate the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.

For those areas affected, for the next DST, just go 30 minutes in the appropriate direction and then STOP CHANGING THE CLOCKS FOREVER AFTER.
Tada, Simple cure and one final gig for the Y2K / DST programmers.
Comment BSG and LOST were both shows of FAITH (Score 1) 602
under the trappings of SCIENCE and science's attempts to understand faith.
At least, that's what they became after the writers for both series decided to head in those directions as both teams never had clear plans of what the show was going to tell the audience. And don't drag out that old "they knew what the final image of LOST was going to be" because even though they knew it would be SPOILERS Jack closing his eyes where he woke up in the pilot END SPOILERS. they had no idea how they were going to get there since the beginning, and that's a complete cop-out.
Caprica is also apparently a show of faith under the trappings of science, but much more overtly so, and as the OP writes, it is quite ponderous and I stopped watching it 2 episodes ago after it bored me to tears. Very likely the prequel concept was announced and then thrown to a bunch of writers without an actual plot and they had to scramble to write something that ended up being much too direction-less.
