Mac Yosemite : Ugly turned out to be Uglier and Ugliest

You might have read my review on Mac OSX Yosemite, The Good, bad and ugly.
Now it turned out to be UGLIEST.

No more words. Here's the image.

If you are on Yosemite, you might be familiar with it.
Most of the times, you get stuck on boot logo.
I've seen complaints regarding it saying that fellow members are ignorant of it and they deny such possibility, even though many are still facing it.

Workarounds suggested by our online friends:

Boot into safe mode, by holding SHIFT and then reboot.

Comment your workaround below, mine is the first one.

If you are still on Mavericks, be there till Apple provides a fix for this.

You can even provide a part of link. For example, to get the link of older version of Android ADT, search using http://dl.google.com/android/adt/* You can find a set of links and...

Setting JVM Heap size at runtime

To set the JVM heap size, compile the program normally. For example, consider Runtime.java program. Compilation: javac Runtime.java Now, to set minimum heap size(let, 16 MB) required by JVM, run the program as follows : java -Xms16m Runtime We can also restrict maximum size(let 512 MB) utilized by JVM: java -Xmx512m Runtime Both these options can also be combined to specify upper and lower bounds of JVM heap size: java -Xms16m -Xmx512m Runtime Now you can run a program that requires huge computational space.
