well, I must admit, it rarely pass 150MB in normal circumstance... I just thought it would be fun to push it further up. I could have waited more but I was tired. As funny as it may sound, my 2GB ram WinXP system did not suffer too much from it. Eventually I should try to max up the ram entirely see what would happen.

De plus en plus de personne sont soit bilingue ou trilingue. Ca serait cool si un jeu télévisé permetterait à ces talents de s'affronter en public.
Un participant trilingue qui parlerait, par example, les langues A, B et C se présenterais au jeu télévisé dans le but de gagner une certain sommes d'argent. Le programme se devrais de trouver une personne qui parle la langue A, une autre qui parle la langue B, et ainsi de suite.
Le participant devrait entretenir une conversation avec chacun d'entre eux au même moment sans distraction jusqu'a ce qu'une erreur se produise. Au quel moment il serait maintenant le tour du participant prochain. La meilleur performance gagne.

Your coming into a forum or an IRC channel, you ask a simple question, yet uncommon. and people are screaming. “Stop, Don’t do it!”, “it’s evil”, “these are bad programming practices, prove me you can’t do without”. And such, before you had time to say more than two lines.
But why is everyone trying to preach absolutely nothing without knowing a thing. They have no clue what I am working on. What would I do with this bit of information and what particular problem I’m trying to solve. but yet, they know it’s evil and I should not do it. Hell, I’m not even sure what I’m gonna do yet. I’m looking for different solutions. What exactly is evil? I have not thought of anything yet.
for people who know C and used to pointer basics have a quick look at the following example.
void foo(&var) {
var = 42;
}
x = 0;
printf("%d\n", x);
foo(x);
printf("%d\n", x);
I was simply asking if passing a variable by reference in such a way would also be possible in Ruby. I have been refered, among other things, to an excellent page documenting Ruby bindings. I am not sure yet if bindings is the only way to go in order to achieve something as simple as this. but what I do know, though: “ITS EVIL”...
actually, I knew Ruby bindings before. But I wanted to use something simpler, more embedded into the syntax. I thought hearing something different, more C-like that I could use. but getting actual help through all the flames was a challenge on its own. so it’s all I got.
yet, I’m not sure I’ll use it for my particular problem, for one, I was looking for something different and for two, well, its EVIL apprently. And god knows I don’t do EVIL ;)
I got another example, this one happen few months ago. I’m heading into the ruby channel again asking for a ruby+japanese related questions. no anwser, total silent. I figured nobody knows as they are almost all english and don’t deal with japanese stuff. but since Ruby programming language in born in Japan and the japanese community is quite active, I thought asking in Japanese. suddenly I got an answer.
the first one, in japanese was simply answering my question. politely and perfectly. the second one? just english screaming. “This is an english channel, talk in english, this is not a japanese or internation channel, stop, its EVIL.”
god, what the hell. you use computers and ruby you should at least appreciate the multi-cultural side the internet offers us. well, he was probably scared I was flaming about his grand-mother. what else could I think?
anyone has a decent explanation for such behavours? am I the one who is weird/wrong?

このメモはあなたたちにみんなはりょこうするですよ。 まだかぞくとすんでいますけれど、あなたもこのせいかいをはっけんしますよ。
みんなはあなたよりちがうでおもいますければ、みんながただしいよ。おもいだしてください。
それでは、だれかに怒っていますければ、あのひとはあなたにともだちなりしたいですよ。
だれかはバカみたいですがたぶん、あのひとはちがうものにじょうずですよ。
さいごに寛大ないちばんギフトです

Une petite note pour tous, afin de vous rappeler que nous tous, voyageons. Même si vous vivez toujours chez vos parents; Vous aussi vous parcourez ce monde merveilleux qu'est le notre.
S'il-vous-plait, rappelez-vous que tous ceux que vous rencontrez qui pense différamment de vous ont probablement raison.
Et j'aimerais que tous essaie de se rappeller
Chaque fois qu'une personne vous tombe sur les nerfs ou fait quelque chose qui vous met à l'envers profondément. Cette personne est probablement seulement entrain de faire sont possible pour devenir votre ami.
Lorsque quelqu'un vous semble stupid, cela veut probablement et simplement dire que cette personne à consacrée sa vie à des passions différentes. Que ce qui est simple ou complex pour l'un et l'autre font simplement partie de domaines de connaissance différent.
Et puis finallement la tolerance est le plus beau cadeau que vous pouvez faire à l'autre, mais surtout à vous même. Et rappelle-vous également que se plaindre n'est rien d'autre qu'impoli, anti-performant et très ennuyeux.

Just a quick reminder for everyone that we are all travelling. Where ever you are living, even 10 feets away from your family. You too, you are travelling this wonderful world.
Please, everytime you meet someone who thinks differently: remember he is probably right.
Every time you meet someone who piss you off or do something that shock you very deeply. Please remember He is most likely just trying his best to be your friend.
When someone looks stupid, it just means he has been focusing on different things. So simple and complex things does not match between you two's mindsets.
And finally, please forgive others as it is the best gift to offer to others but also and mainly to yourself. And remember that complaining is nothing else than impolite, counter-productive and boring.

Do Microsoft still owns important part of Apple? Do Mr Bill Gates received huge money from ipod sales and Mac switcher as well? I'd like to know if it is still the case. Because if so, things could become very scary.

Tiger Wood is on Japanese TV as I am writing this ;) The announcer ask him how many trophes he has. He said he does not know, but when he was 13 years old, he had 113 already. With bother counting at that point really.
incredible ;)
