It is a bloody shame and nightmare: the on-line dictionaries.
See this example:
http://www.worldlingo.com/nl/products_services/computer_translation.html?from=dutch&to=french
With the following text (from this blog):
It’s important to keep performance in mind when designing your applications.

And the translation in Dutch is:
Het is belangrijk om prestaties in mening te houden wanneer het ontwerpen van uw toepassingen.

Amazing!!!

The tools Google provides lack decent dictionaries with a rich vocabulary.
A golden chance for Google as these on-line dictionaries are providing wordgarbage.

Maybe my fault, but composing this blog I can click a "check Spelling" button, that appears to be an implementation of the empty pattern: nothing happens!

Talking about garbage, garbage collection is an issue.
Untill yesterday I never heard (me lucky guy) about "stop the world".
Since yesterday the application seems to loop, but actually the garbage collector stopped my application.
See (of course) Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_(computer_science)

And: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/library/es-JavaVirtualMachinePerformance.html
with this sentence:
Avoid calling GC from within your code through System.gc() call. GC is a "stop the world" event, meaning that all threads of execution will be suspended except for the GC threads themselves. If you must call GC, do it during a non-critical or idle phase.

And this pdf document describing a new cleanroom implementation of the JVM and GC:

Frightening, completely new and bugfree?
