dear microsoft: choke on my fuck

[rone]

I have no joke here, i just like saying, "If you think that you are experiencing a memory leak, be aware that memory leaks may not be what they appear to be. You may discover that a memory leak is not a true memory leak, but is a performance enhancement."

Where's the unbounded part? I saw "For example, the Microsoft Jet database engine can consume large amounts of memory (up to 128 MB on a 256-MB computer) because it retrieves data and writes caches" and stopped reading because it was clearly bounded.

Try this instead: http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide#Memory_and_Swap_Space

In that particular favourable example they gave, yes. But I've seen mozilla "cache" shit to the point that it fills swap. Which ain't very useful in that a cache is meant to speed things up, not slow them down to molassis in a fit of OOM. (I banished mozilla from my computer in the end. That saves most of the OOMs I ever experienced from happening again).

I'm pretty sure Microsoft didn't write Mozilla.

Nor even ship it.

Thanks for missing the point.

Me: "what exactly is microsoft doing wrong? that web page doesn't show it, as far as I read it"

You: "Mozilla is a good example of the problem"

Fortunately, I don't have to deal with the microsoft class of shitty software these days. The only shitty software that had such a bad memory leak otherwise passed off as a "feature" is mozilla. Til I dumped it.

Mozilla is, as it turns out, not a Quality Microsoft Product.

It is merely a side-effect of Quality Microsoft Best (heh) Practises.

This brought to you in the light of subsequent comments by the "Yo Dawg[tm]" Meme Factory.
