    Anyone know what that document format is since it's roughly half the size of the pdf?

    A quick Google search says it's a StarOffice "Impress" presentation file. (Open Source answer to Power Point?)

    I see your link to Java.net (running on mod_perl, by the way). Perhaps you like J2EE? The original goal of Java (err, Oak) was to program embedded devices. What does that have to do with anything?

    I've come to the conclusion that people who say things like "____ doesn't scale" are merely engaging in vigorous and pedantic platform self-congratulation.

    Yes, that's a euphemism.
