By Favorites, do you mean bookmarks? Chrome has bookmarking which includes both a bookmark bar (like Firefox's) and bookmark folders.
The ui is still very minimalistic - basically a window frame with detachable tabs. It suits me, but I guess it's not for everyone.
I like Chrome because the thing never dies, thanks to separate processes per tab. FF can have one tab go nuts and it takes down everything, which happens all too often.
Plus the guts of FF are brutal. Gecko is really scary and its api shows its age. I know it has nothing to do with usability etc., but I guess it's just sort of an aesthetic thing for me.
It's arguable that Python's learning curve is a lot higher than those of C and Java. Take a look at this, for just one example: http://www.dabeaz.com/coroutines/
Test code doesn't end up in production, so I have no idea what you're talking about. Spring is normally used in conjunction with a test framework like JUnit - in fact, Spring contains explicit test harness support (@ExpectedException, JNDI stuff, and so forth).
Spring is good at lots of stuff - annotated transactions, annotated MVC (in Spring 3), etc. etc. IoC is very convenient also, particularly with auto-scanning.
That said, I'm not some huge fan of Java the language. But Java the "ecosystem" (or whatever you want to call it) is pretty amazing.
Nevermind that all the software on XP is broken when you're not root.
While I don't disagree with your other points, this statement is false. Nearly all widely-used XP software runs just fine under a user with limited rights, as this is how XP is run in any corporate environment.
Can you be specific about these inconsistencies? I'd like to hear about them.
As for "letting it die", Java is the default language of enterprise everything. Outside of the embedded world, there's probably more lines of Java currently deployed than anything else. And I have to say, Spring 3.x is actually pretty neat.
The summary made it clear (at least to me) that by "survive" they meant "make money". "Survive" doesn't mean "out there on the internet to download", at least not in this context.
In short, creating a business around a pure open source project is hard.

then you can pass parameters like so:
object.message(key1:value, key2:value)
This exists already - it is called Python.
Smalltalk never caught on largely because of fragmentation in its various implemented versions, and because it's not file-based. Rather, you modify an image, which is too weird and unwieldy for most people.

Well, except for all those webapp-type sites you visit. You "use" Java every single time you browse the web, just indirectly.
I do - who the heck writes applets anymore? Java is a totally pervasive server-side thing these days. I guess JWS was a last kick at the can.

You mean duct tape. What the fuck might "duck tape" be?
Me neither. This article is probably more Slashdot hyperbole to get the typically unknowledgable Slashdot poster into a frothy rage yet again.
Spoken like someone who doesn't write software for a living, and is accountable to nobody.

Spring for Python is interesting too.

Safari 4.0.5 is available for download from Apple's site as a universal binary for OS X 10.4 and 10.5.
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
If you are using Windows, click the link that says "Get Safari for Macintosh" at the bottom.
So much for your conspiracy-theory nuttiness.
Safari 4 runs on OS X 10.4.11 or newer. What was your argument about again?
No, he's telling the truth. If you worked in the Unix development biz, you'd know that too.
It's true, kid. Get over it.
Popularity isn't a good measure of relevancy?

How on earth will that extend his cell phone range, which is what the question is referring to?
India still has the highest starvation rates of any single country, from what I remember.

Bah, if you had READ the article, that is.
It breaks-down in the body the same way (fructose and glucose). There's no real difference.
If you had the article, you'd know that this isn't true.
