That moment when
"Change your algorithm"
Answers like this are why Stack Overflow almost becomes worthless when asking questions. I asked for some clarification why my code, which reads some files and outputs another, was hitting System.OutOfMemory exceptions. And that was the response I got.

I swear to god, SO has got to be one of the most unwelcoming, condescending sites on the internet.
