Have a Nice Steaming Cup of Java 5

Posted by michael on from the milk-and-sugar dept.

wap writes "The language/VM/religion that everyone loves to hate is now serving another cup: Java 1.5 is ready for download. The new features of 1.5 have been discussed here before. I, for one, welcome our new virtual machine overlord. I have been using the release candidate, and startup times are noticeably faster, as is overall performance, and the new features like typesafe collections and static imports are great to have. Let the Java flames begin!"

      ooops! GMAIL is semi-slashdotted. (but who knows if this was relly caused by this comment) Server Error Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

  6. I, for one by Sheepdot · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I, for one

    This is quite possibly the most overused start to any phrase on the planet. Let me tell you a bit about the people that use this phrase:

    1) They seem to think that they are "one of many" and that there is some collective of independant thought that will agree with them.

    2) They are pompous and so full of themselves that they think their opinion matters. What they don't understand is someone can easily use it in reverse.

    So that being said, let me kill the idea that this phrase could possibly be used again while you keep a straight face:

    I, for one, feel that female circumsion is a spectacular idea. I, for one, enjoy my right to own a submachine gun. I, for one, am not looking forward to world of warcraft.

    Most of the time, you will see this phrase as "I for one" with no commas, which usually indicates just how popular the phrase is, while being used by completed idiots that think they are "one of many that feel the same way". The reality is, the people who are in the minority opinion (yet believe they need majority opinion in order to win the argument) abuse this phrase the most.

    But Java is a dance.

    Rumba, Samba, Java... I'm sure you can think of others.

    It makes much more sense when you look at it that way. A slow, heavy, memory hungry dance..

    Actually, it's just a silly french dance, usually on a musette.
