It's not an Area 51 topic of discussion. It's neither elitist nor unethical to talk about it. This stuff has been common knowledge forever. There are tons of people that have worked with the FBI at the Telco's; and tons of vendors selling hardware and helping configure it for the divine governmental purposes of wiretapping. It's a constitutional issue first and a national security issue second. Those are only some of the reasons people are so heated about all of this. Consider too the effects of 911 and the fact that the average numbers of these warrant requests in the late 80's were 200-300 per year and are now thousands per year.
True. Wireless or wireline, it's all relative; for instance the wireless traffic at Cingular was on BellSouth's (now AT&T) Gateways until 2005. One of which was my previous employer:) There was a FISA tap as it was called in a locked cage amongst all the other racks in the middle of the floor in the Jackson Mississippi DR data center.
HAD IT'S CHANCE?!...To be a framework?!! Java works NOW! It's already there:
Quote::.NET and J2EE offer pretty much the same laundry of list of features, albeit in different ways. Although Java is ready and continuously being improved
Quote2:: "Java runs on any platform with a Java VM. C# only runs in Windows for the foreseeable future."

Encouraging developers to write Java that only works with.Net is like buying breakfast cereal that only stays crispy at night. Maybe that's not a good example. Howz 'bout: Trying to attract Java developers to J# (Sharp) or whatever the hell they want to call their little Java snippet thing, is like GM making cars that only go 100 mph, because you'll wreck, they'll sell more. eh.?
Java is King. The M$ framework will not come to measurable fruition 'til 2004 or so. Reality. Java is already there.
