Java 1.5.0 Now Officially Java 5.0
Quantum Jim writes "In a move which out-does Netscape's one-version number skip and Winamp's two-numbers skip, Sun has announced that the upcoming Java2 release will be marketed as version 5.0, skipping three-and-a-half numbers. Can version 6.022E23 be far behind? Thanks to David Flanagan for the heads-up."
It's clear that the parent's acidic droplet of truth deserved to get modded troll.
Well, as long as you buy into the groupthink here. How exactly can there be useful interchange if, whenever something offends the sensibilities of the dumbshit mods, it gets sent down to -1?

At least there still calling it Java, Borland comes to mind, and makes me laugh.
Pascal -> Delphi -> Kylix
Perhaps had they just kept right on calling it Pascal, and incremented versions they would have some "brand awareness" for that language.
I guess the marketing department decided that a IDE justified a language name change. hehe

I was going to make a joke about how Sun is still calling it the Java Development Kit release 1.1 for Java 2.0 version 5.0, but this has been frequently noticed by others in this thread. So for those who are not interested in sorting through the bewildering list of packages available on the Java Download page, here's an ugly ascii kitty cat.

What comes after OS X?

------ What part of "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" do you not understand ----
In your case, it is probably the part that says A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State...
What well regulated militia do you belong to? And if you belong to one, why aren't you on active duty in Iraq? And if you don't belong to one, then the 2nd amendment doesn't give you a right to bear arms. Why? Because if you do belong to a militia that is not under the jurisdiction of the state, then you have stepped outside the bounds of the Constitution. You have joined a private army. And the Constitution gives no person or group the right to create a private army.
No, I'm not anti-gun. I own several. I also did 6 years of service in a well regulated militia. You want to own guns, too, that's fine with me. But don't claim the 2nd amendment gives you a right to own them.
Alec Guinness was always my favorite.
He did bring a certain amount of class that is now notably absent.
Very true. It's too bad Lucas lost his own vision of StarWars with all the pazazz of CGI and other assorted
gee whiz look what I can do with technology!" stuff.
Anyways, aside from my rant, the class is gone.
I agree. The guy is one hell of a technician and a shrewd business man.
Since I've just finished another in a long series of beers I'll even go so far as to say that he is a good "visionary". His concepts are cool. But his writing and directing are atrocious.
Solaris 2 is aka known as as SunOS 5.x...
Worst...thing...ever. "also known as known as as" has to break some sort of record for ineptitude.
