Post #219,408 by admin 8/15/05 4:10:05 PM Reply	Re: Right. Java is great. Yeah. Java apologist. That's a new one for me. roll You can hardly call me a "Java fan". It just sucks in different ways than crap like C++, VB, and Perl. Give me a break. I'm just sick of jackasses saying crap like, "I ran a Java program once, and it sucked! So Java is teh sukc! Everywhere! Yaaarrrgh!" Sheesh. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

Post #219,414 by mmoffitt 8/15/05 4:28:37 PM Reply	I'm with ya. It all sucks in one way or another. I'm not a developer here anymore because we're becoming a Java shop. I have reasons for disliking it but I feel no compulsion to list those to anyone whose sole argument in favorite of it is calling anyone an "idiot" who dares question the propaganda that IBM and SUN have spewed out over the years claiming that Java will take us all to the land of milk and honey. I'm getting tired of being unable to even joke about Java w/out childish attacks. bcnu, Mikem It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred.

All the subject-changing and mindless pseudopolitical potshots won't alter the fact that you gibber like a loon every time someone mentions Java, therefore rendering your ability to joke about it null.
