Let Java Go
Right on!
As far as I'm concerned, "money" no longer means "medium of trade." I think it now means "medium of greed."
I could work my behind off for the rest of my life, and wind up barely making enough to handle one big emergency, work a reasonable day's work and wind up with barely enough to live day-to-day.
The people who are engaging in this long "litany" arrange things nicely for themselves; that is, work really hard for a couple of years, and then lord it over the rest of us for the rest of their (and their children's and grand-children's and great-grand-children's (ad nauseam) lives.
On the other hand, I don't have anything against money as a tool for trade, and if Sun wants to make money on Java, so be it. I just wish there were a way to have that happen without all this extra baloney.
I think I'll believe we've gotten somewhere when news.com actually starts writing news, instead of investment news with a technical veneer.
