Feel free to mod the anonymous coward's post here. The link is not removal instructions. It is kind of funny as long as you can kill the processes before it gobbles up all your cpu cycles.

I don't think that's too likely. True, there is a fair amount of Java development on the Linux platform and I'm sure some of that development will be diverted to Mono as Miguel & co. fill out the.NET libraries on the Linux Platform. However, rememeber that Java runs on more than just Windows and Linux. There are also jre/jdks for Solaris and Mac OS X.
No. Just because Linux has yet another developement alternative does not mean that Java is about to die.
Do you feel any trepidation about returning to the online world at this point? With such a lengthy absence there have been numerous technological and paradigm changes. Do you feel you've been able to keep up to date (more or less) with current trends or is there a sense of "catch up" that you feel?
What I found most refreshing about this book was that it didn't assume the evolution of human-kind would result in an intellecutally superior species. Rather, many seemed to to be guided more by instinct.
I think my favorite was the memory people (I may have the name totally wrong here). Basically, occasionally tapped into the memories of their descendents to give them a survival edge... ala Bene Geserit -ish.

Someone please mod this down to offtopic or troll.

That's the one with the basket, right?

>> The story goes that when the events of "First Contact" happened, the time line forked in a serious way
:P
Which is pretty scary because it implies that everything you remember from TNG may not have happened now
I could be horribly wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the script on the one ring was written in one of the ancient languages of Mordor, not Elvish.
