ISP Information:
A process where dynamically allocated blocks of memory are reclaimed while a program executes. Garbage collection is normally performed by the garbage collector, which is part of the runtime system. However, it is possible to explicitly write code to do garbage collection as well. Automatic garbage collection is triggered when the amount of free memory blocks falls below a certain threshold.

Garbage Collection - Jim Haynes (haynes@alumni.uark.edu) wrote: Rats! I was within days of getting a satellite dish set up so I could receive WFMT.Hey, check out WCPE. It's 100% classical with no advertising. It'salso 100% listener-supported, but its fundraisers are relativelylow-key. You'll be able to get it with your new dish: Galaxy 5,Transponder 15, subcarriers 5.58 and 6.12 MHz..Disclosure (and rant): I have no connection with either WCPE or WFMT.I'm just a retired cable guy who spent his entire cable-TV careertrying to convince marketing types that classical music is a salableproduct for a cable company. It's always amazed me that marketingpros who spend their careers trying to "position" video services don'tapply the same logic to audio services. "Thirty channels of stereomusic" is about as informative as "Thirty channels of colortelevision."Now I keep hearing about how phone companies are building FTTHnetworks because "there's pent-up demand for an alternative to cable."Ok, fine. Am I supposed to believe that telco marketing guys knowanything about classical music?Neal McLain[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: When CableOne took over our servicehere in Independence more than a year ago, one thing they did was addclassical music to their line up. We can get it three ways: Channel938 on the cable box gets 24/7 classical music with a blank screen onthe television set. Or with the cable plug in on my Bose radio I cantune in KRPS 89.9 FM from Pittsburg/Joplin or the station in Tulsa on89.5 FMl both these are PBS stations with mostly classical musicstuff. The lady in the office said to me "You won't need those two,since you can get it on channel 938." I suggested to her please leaveit alone, I sort of preferred KPRS myself.A question to those of you who know about FM radio carried on cable:The tower is over on Oak Street, rather high. Exactly *how* to theyget in FM radio stations? The man told me they have a crystal for89.9 in a reciever there in the tower. Can they only get what theyhave crystals for or is *any* station on FM radio available over thecable (as far as improving its reception is concerned, etc?) PAT]
