    Wow Java made the list.

    Interesting how a little toy programming language, used by novices and students
    made the top 10. Reminds me of the days where BASIC and Turing where the popular learning languages of the time.

    Both essentially interpreted, non-standard languages. Great for learning the basics.

    Windows IS the best OS. Linux/Solaris are useful and macs are just plain terrible. I am running VMWare at work with all of these OS's and Windows BY FAR is the easiest to use and configure and has the most compatibility. Linux / Solaris are great for running servers and are great for security, but who would wanna use that shit for their everyday pc. Everyone just says windows sucks to be trendy.

    AIDS has something to do with sex? That's a new one.

    I thought destruction of the immune system happened, you know, when you overload your immune system. Like when you overload your insulin receptors by eating sugar, or overload your arteries by eating fried chicken, or overload your liver by drinking alcohol.

    Sex destroys the immune system? How??

    OT perhaps, but it deserves to be said, over and over, until people get it. Especially Bill Gates, who is misleading the world on a massive scale with this new venture of his.
