    "Hemos" has to be the dumbest name there could possibly be. Except maybe "pudge".

    Java is obsolete. A bold statement, I know, but the facts bear it out.

    Java's main strength was supposed to be platform independence. However, due to missteps by Sun and backstabbing by Microsoft, Java has been relegated to the back-end of a web page, running under unix. In this client-server architecture, speed is crucial, and java's bytecode doesn't cut it.

    Native binaries are the only way to get the speed necessary in the post-.com days, when budgets are limited and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on "enterprise" servers is no longer viable.

    Fortunately, Linux is FREE (as in herpes and porn)and makes commodity hardware perform as well as enterprise offerings from Dell, Compaq, IBM, etc.

    Furthermore, all major unices (AIX, SCO, *BSD, HPUX, Solaris, etc) include linux binary support, so linux binaries are more platform independent than Java is.

    These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

    Java - saves the developer's time at the cost of the user's time. No thanks, I take pride in the end result of my work.
