  1. You work for Sun, dont you? by Kenneth+Stephen · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The real answers are :

    1. So that Sun (and IBM) can sell more hardware in order that Java developers can even run a "Hello World" type program.

    2. This is human nature. The Catholic church behaved the same way when Galileo pointed out the error in their doctrine.

    3. Everyone has their own reasons. I like picking on the unthinking masses.

    4. Thats a bit like asking "If you could make a perpetual motion machine...."?
