Daniel, you don't have to believe me, I really don't care. I hear this
argument once or twice a year and those of who actually have experience
(except for Terry, who always likes to argue theory) already know what
the reality is. Come back in a year or two after you've wasted a thousand
man hours trying to implement your little beast, tried to use it for
something non trivial, and found that it doesn't work the way you expect.
I've heard the solaris argument before two, though until you came along
I didn't actually hear someone try to propound that running a machine
out of memory on purpose wouldn't have any unwanted side effects.
That's a new one.. and a good laugh. But it isn't reality.
-Matt
