This is far, far, too far away from being the best book on Java.
I'll even argue that this is not a good book at all. As always Mr. Eckel is going on and on with a 2-3 pages of reflections and a small piece of programming practices(everyone who've tried to read the C++ thinking, know for what I'me talking about), so my point is:
1) The book will be confusing for a beginner programmer.
2) It'll be useless for the most part to a person with some general programming culture.
Anyway, the best book to start with java is "On to Java", I don't even remember the authors but it's everything: Short, explicit and well structured. A problem may be that it should be a bit outdated.......
Of course, all one really need to start programming in Java is here

I could see Python easily surpassing Perl as a strongly-typed effective scripting language.
Which unfortunately has nothing to do with the ideas behind Python.
It tends to be much more than "strongly-typed effective scripting language" and if there was some big corporation promoting it as development platform(not even providing support, the guys from the team are doing really good job) , you can bet that Java would had one more serious competitor to worry about...
Why should/.ers pore into these details every day? It almost appears as if we are doing all the legwork for SCO. Let SCO do all the imagining, when they say something - then, let's debate it over here.
You should not. Nobody is forcing you. However, don't you think that someone may actually find those interesting??????

It's obvious and scientifically verified that those who play video games are far more likely than their non-gaming piers to avoid social interaction, do poorly in school, resort to violent behavior, and lead unhealthy lifestyles (leading to problems like obesity and depression later in life).

The only point where're you have come close to the true. It IS irresponsible to say it's healthy, but it's the same shit to suppose it's a bad habit and enemy No:1 to society
Yeah right.....and if you have read the article or any of the statements made by MS regarding this "renaming", you'd have seen that what you wrote is nothing more than:
Linux already is moving on - note "Mandrake Linux" (no GNU)....
Whatever....Not naming it.NET is simply a move by MS, insisting on the fact that the platfomr is already so "deeply"(their words) integrated that there's no need to mention it...

I know that the ATI Radeons are the new hotness of the video scene. Remember though, Number9, Rendition, 3dFX, and many others have held that title, only to be almost completely out of business by now (or completely, in some cases).
If I understand you correctly, you're saying that this may some day be the case of ATI right????
Well, I'm really sorry to disapoint you, but, in brief, never gonna happen.
All of the above companies were almost 100% focused on the entertaiment business, and PC market. This said, you should figure out for yourself that's not the ATI case. For the time all those rulled the entertaiment, ATI build strong positions on the *BIG* graphics stations and with Apple. Both moves proved themselves to be quite succesfuls.....
For the last couple of years ATI obviously tries to gain on nVidia on the ET market, but even if they're not No:1( cause, I wouldn't say that the Radeon is the hot thing on the moment, accept for the laptops, where, I admit, I prefer a 64mb shared Radeon, than a 16 GeForce 4 420), don't event think for a moment that they'll disapear as some Rendition company, which I never, and I mean never really put out a good 3d card....(simply their first one was the first one....);o))

Not long ago, SCO said that buyout by IBM was an option....All these and more SCO statements have been competely reversed now. Why should we listen to this never-ending story of lies from SCO.
I wouldn't bet on not considering a buyout _for the moment_ being a lie. It may be possible that SCO has found another source of incomes, e.g. a leading software market giant that's ready to do business with SCO for the 5 to 10 years to come which will help them keep the *was doomed* company alive, and may be even go back on their feet.
