You keep on saying that users can run the system out of swap easily,
and I've tried to point out to you that it isn't quite as easy as you
believe (and I've used a real-life example to show my point). You are
certainly welcome to come back with your own real-life example. And now
you are implying that all bugs can be easily fixed. Ha ha! That's
funny. I wish that were true!
