It looks like they're creating 1,000,000 strings (from 1 byte, up to 1,000,000 bytes). Isn't that ~ 500GB of memory allocations and releases?

I believe when a judgement is rendered "without prejudice" the door is open for appeal. If a judgement is rendered "with prejudice" then it cannot be appealed.

"In the example of FIG. 1B, a user 16 has gestured by placing his fingertips on the display surface and moving them in an outwardly separating manner. As discussed in greater detail below, this particular gesture 17 is associated with a zoom-in command.

the thought of wasting two more years, getting left in the dust, and becoming irrelevant has me horrified.
Get a junior / intern position doing the work you want while you finish school. That way you get some money (hopefully), keep your skills fresh and gain work experience. Then when you graduate in a few years you have a degree and some experience, you can go for more mid-level positions.
