However it isn't just the Cocoa bindings that are important. AFAIK SoyLatte's Swing/AWT elements run through X11. Apple's Java allows for Java GUIs without starting X11.

It would surprise me, as on my Macbook, Eclipse with the default .ini is set to run the JVM with a maximum size of 512M by using the -Xmx512m argument. (I am, however running Eclipse "Classic", maybe the other bundles have larger limits). In fact, it might run a little better if I boosted the amount of RAM available to its JVM.

Maybe someone knows otherwise; but I think it is a fact of life that when you set your JVM to use (say) 1GB and keep a java app open and creating objects for long enough, it will tend to grow to 1GB rather than spend time running the GC.

> or at least have something on the device verify the origin and integrity of iOS images before allowing them to be installed or run

They do prevent you from downgrading your iOS image by refusing to authenticate old versions on install. I find it hard to interpret this as simply "downgrading is not supported" as Gruber does, as it is an active step on Apple's part to stop you from doing something. Installing Linux on my Macbook is also supported by Apple, but that doesn't mean they actively alter my Macbook's boot process to stop me from doing it.

No, since the reply goes back to the real address.

Oh aye. Published where?

Hmph - second hit is in the OpenJDK code. I guess the author forgot to include braces and so randomDelay() always has a delay of 0.

Regarding a similar problem with benchmarks in the scientific sphere:

Using the ssh host as a SOCKS proxy in combination with http://www.meadowy.org/~gotoh/ssh/connect.c is a lot easier than adding a separate tunnel for each host on the other side of the wall, as long as the intermediate host allows you to use it as a SOCKS proxy (DynamicForward option of ssh).

> daily ejaculation results in healthier sperm and greater fertility. Causality is rarely simple.

Sure, but I think here you are being overly adaptionist. Put another way, if we lived in a world where daily ejaculation did not improve sperm quality, would we still expect animals to masturbate? I would say yes.

It's just occurred to be that was in fact answered by the comedian, Jasper Carrott:

Q: Why do dogs lick their bollocks? A: Because they can.

The article seems to conflate antibiotics (which kill bacteria living inside you) with topical treatments (which kill bacteria on you). You can't replace antibiotics with this.
