There's this joke; I think Subversion's Ben Collins-Sussman came up
with it. It goes "the world is full of jerks, and the web makes it
seems like they're all next door." So I wonder, why would anyone want

True, I'm known to overpromise. But this is no pipe dream. Just
putting the finishing touches on it. It's not bijective so far, but on
the plus side the effort required to change your eclipse is minimal,
and you don't need to change your javac at all. Thank you, annotation

If you get too far down that road (script evaluation), you might wanna consider

For me, they are looking for the best way to make business - services.
Everything in the web is at "my control" and I can change and manipulate

HTML only apps will be awesome. They will be the only thing you need.
No native apps at all. Just like the iPhone. It shipped with only HTML
apps and that's all that ever people wanted. :)

I thought the whole episode was fit for the gossip column. Come on!
There was so much finger pointing at unnamed individuals. Take a piss
at something real.
It makes me sick to hear someone brag about how many people they
