Florda had electronic voting machines but if you didn't press the button hard enough, the parity bit wouldn't be set. This was referred to as an "e-chad".
Also, Sun released Servlet API and JSP specifications for development of the web based applications. And this combination was proved to be a real hit in enterprise development domain. But developers didn't have all the freedom that the PHP (and other script language) developers had and the web development in Java was very time consuming. Many MVC frameworks like Struts and template engines such as Velocity were created but again the problem remained.
What freedom and what was making it more time consuming than PHP?
I have to agree with the previous poster that JSP offers the same functionality as all of those nice libraries PHP comes with. I don't see where PHP offered such a significant advantage over JSP that you would choose it over JSP when developing a web client. I have used both JSP and PHP on several project and both worked very well but I wouldn't mix them together unless it was absoultely necessary. If you are starting a new project with Java, I would highly recommmed using JSP instead of PHP. JSP has come along way especially since the advent of JSTL (which I continually praise on Slashdot everytime a Java article is posted;-) ). Mixing technologies should be done only when absolutely necessary (i.e. integrating C and Perl for necessary performace gains) as it's generally much more difficult to debug and maintain by a group of developers. Although there are alot of developers that are very skilled in more than one language, there are many who are experts in one language and are remedial in a few others.
I am not flaming PHP. Dynamic websites can be constructed quickly and easily and it is a nice language in which to develop. if you have an existing Java codebase and you wish to add a web client, I would strongly recommend using JSP instead.
Are you sure you are not thinking of L. Ron Hubbard and Dianetics (scientology)? Covey's books aren't about religion and I would recommend both 7 Habits and First Things First for people who are struggling with the same problems as the poster.
I've looked through some of the docs on Jakarta but I don't see much of a differece between JSTL and Velocity except I feel that JSTL is much more cleaner. I was wondering if someone has had expereince with both and can explain the ups and downs of each.
If you haven't used JSTL I strongly suggest that you give them a look as well. Very simple to use, very extensive and really make JSP alot faster to develop and maintain.

I said copper twice, when I meant to say brass. I was even thinking the word brass, so I don't know where copper came from; having a bit of an attention deficit day I guess.

I think what he was trying to say is that he could eat as much of he wanted of a particular food as long as his total calories were under 2000. So instead of limiting himself to eating one cup of pudding, he could eat 2000 calories worth if that is all he ate that day.
Obviously, this was for demonstration purposes only. I am not a nutritionist, but I would stay away from the all pudding diet if I were you.

Were you a salaried employee? If so I don't think you stand much of a chance unless you wrote down your hours and had a manager sign them (which very rarely happens if you are on salary).
If you were a contactor and/or paid by the hour, with all due respect, why in the hell did you not bring this up with your employeer immediately. Why did you work 500 hours (over three monts worth) and not say anything until you got fired (excuse me, "left the company")?
Every place I worked where I was paid by the hour made me specify how many regular hours I worked and how many overtime hours I worked with a clear explaination of the overtime policy right above where you sign the time sheet.
I and thousands of us here have been screw over by an employer (or two, or three), but this is unfortunately is your own damn fault.
