Yeah, why not, the code was non harmful and i have quite a bit of memory.
[QUOTE=Matthew0505;25285846]You actually ran that?[/QUOTE]
Why shouldn't he run it?
[QUOTE=sim642;25290630]Why shouldn't he run it?[/QUOTE]
It constantly allocates objects of class "money" and dumps the pointer. In other words, the allocated objects can't even be unallocated. Leaks memory. A lot.
Sure they can be deallocated. Just the program itself will not.

Sorry for the confusion. Obviously most operating systems would deallocate the memory afterwards.
Last time I ran a malloc loop it ended up consuming 2.5 GB of RAM and nearly froze my PC :saddowns:

I'd have had around -3 GB of RAM available at that point :D
I have 3GB, but the problem was that Windows had started swapping like crazy, so when I exited the malloc loop program, literally EVERY other program had been swapped away.

Ironically, you don't *have* to but it helps.
Web Development... Everybody wants websites. I did, however, read an article in wired magazine: "The Web Is Dead" It was saying how the use of browsers is becoming less and less, want to use Facebook? There's an app for that. There is now an app to replace everything. So maybe App Development is the way forward. If so, I suggest android.
Because the Internet is Facebook.

I hate Facebook a tad more everything I read something like this. It's so dumb.
[QUOTE=ZeekyHBomb;25313572]Because the Internet is Facebook.[/QUOTE]
Because there's a shitload a people that use facebook.
So? Presuming all those people will use that Application instead of their Browser, there's still many other Websites.
There's more than 500 million people in one place, which you can target easily with your app.
I was actually replying to [QUOTE=Loli;25313533]"The Web Is Dead"[/QUOTE], guess I should have included that quote in my post.

Too many people use facebook, I'm looking forward to projects such as Diaspora. [url]http://xkcd.com/802/[/url]

I honestly think Wired is full of crap most of the time. It's a pop-tech magazine which likes to stir up controversy for the purpose of selling magazines, not a serious look into the real tech industry.

Which bit of cluelessness are you referring to? The choice of RoR?

more likely that diaspora is a Swiss cheese of xss exploits

To be honest, I'm seeing the opposite happening. Rather than desktop clients, everyone is using their browser for everything. For example, most people use webmail rather than a dedicated email client lately.
I like wired for the robots :downs:
That and some of the awesome stuff... But mostly the robots...
Make a cool program and sell it online.
Hack people's bank accounts:downs:
I've just read geel9's topic and it seems all you've got to do is to create a flash game and earn $1500!
Fuck why didn't I know that before.
Actually, making money with Flash games is surprisingly VERY easy.
I only had one attempt at a sellable game, the coding was horrible and I got $250.
Can you do anything on par with that with anything else? (Not a rhetorical question, I really want to know)
Where are you selling your flash games? I probably should get CS5 before I think about selling them, but it would be nice to know.
Making money with programming isn't easy.
Without stating the obvious too much in order to become successful you need to:
A) Have a lot of experience and a nice portfolio to go with it.
... or
B) Come up with something new, innovative, fun.
Even with B be you still need to have the skills to implement the idea.
GMod, Minecraft are clear examples. I can bet you that both Garry and Notch had a lot of challenges to get where they are now.
I used games as an example because the OP didn't really specify the type of programming or target audience. Freelance programming won't do you too much good and as stated above by some other posters it's rather saturated but hey if you're just trying to get a little pocket money why not?
