I agree with the fact that concept of deities were probably originated because of fear and ignorance of their proponents and evolved to a more abstract concept. Science gives a solid (based on facts) answer to many events which were misteri

Why do I get a downvote me on this? I'm european, and for me a billion = a million of millions, not a thousand of millions.

The title should read 500 * 10^9 digits of e, that is american billion. European billion is 10^12, that may lead to some confusion...

The author of the article misses the fact that In-memory Databases are not the same as NoSQL. In fact, I have used a SQL In-Memory Database (or Main-memory Database) called CSQL, which is a SQL database.

Ok, edited. I wrote the title with the problem I found in mind, which lead me to find that discussion. Anyway, in the discussion the problem of closed tabs' processes not being released is treated.
