I spoke with a set of Verizon linesmen running the fiber in Mont. Co. MD in the middle of the summer - they said that all of MoCo should be ready by 1Q05.
After the success of Star Wars: A New Hope, Lucas didn't know what to do - he got high smoking some ego-boosting Joseph Campbell tripe and tried to claim that he had the whole multipart story laid out/written/etc. but then faltered with what has come since.
Look at the "official" book "Splinter in a Mind's Eye" - it changes what Empire and Jedi show.
SW Ep2: Attack of the Clones = Titanic In Space - really good special effects with a sappy, lame story.
It was recently announced that Java has the most developers worldwide at 2.5M expected to ramp up to 4M by the end of 2002. Anyone in Telco, especially wireless, is looking that way. Nokia, DoCoMo, Motorola are looking at 1 Billion new wireless, Java-enabled platforms in less than 1 year from now. What I see missed in these posts is that we need to evolve. CS is getting bashed because it's not innvovating as fast as other industries...there have been multiple/. posts about CS not advancing the UI, for example, in the last 10 years. Java is an evolution.
And for those that bash the speed, I'd be curious as to what is slow. I've seen enterprise applications, data processing infrastructures and full 3d games (at 50+ FPS) in 100% Java. The Java VM is only a C program, so maybe we should be bashing C for being slow!
