    Except the fact that Microsoft Windows is superior in every aspect.

    Yeah if only running wireless in 64 bit worked without the ritual blood sacrifice. Or ndiswrapper, or having to re-install with every kernel update.

    Stupid ath wireless.

    Then maybe I'd care about Java/Flash...

    I really want to hear what you would recommend as a wholesale replacement for Java. I'm pretty sure I don't know of anything that's as broadly applicable.

    Try C++, which seems to get much less attention than it should. It's undeniably faster than Java, but equally good at creating usable abstractions.
