Perhaps this speaks to OS X's rather wimpy, squishily configurable control over memory usage.



You think? It's OSX's job to give me a way to say "Don't let the combination of Mysql, Apache and nginx use more than 1 GB ram" ?

It's a general purpose OS.

Bzzzt! Jumped to conclusions & placed words in my mouth! Thanks for playing. BTW, I'm an iOS developer and I've been using OS X as almost my exclusive dev environment since 2003.

Sorry, forgot that I have to keep quiet about shortcomings of OS X, or else.

I applaud your brave stance against the straw man you just conjured. [slow clap]


Wow. Just wow. Your winning combination of charm, wit and kindness must keep your social calendar very full.

Enjoy the ride home on the short bus, man.
