Hell yes I am serious. Garbage collection is both one of the best and worst things to come into code. On one hand it lets you quickly write code without having to bother with memory management for objects. On the other hand it means that there are whole generation of coders out there who have no concept of memory management at all.
Which is peachy keen as long as your stack is able to just grow and grow. Throw more hardware at it is the solution instead of write better code.
In addition to that there is no real way to force GC in java - and don't feed me that System.gc() bollocks because all that is a suggestion that the system invoke GC it doesn't take into account that the programmer did something stupid like holding open an array that they instantiate every time they enter a loop etc.
I write code for a living matey and have done for the last 15 years, before you spout off rubbish like your previous post you should at least have a concept of what you are talking about. Heck you didn't even get the fact that java is the only language using garbage collection right.

Ask yourself this is there a reason that OS's are still written in C?
