java questions

Gosling didn't care for the complexity of languages such as C++, he did like the basic syntax and object-oriented features of the language. So when he sat down to design his new language, he used C++ as its model, stripping away all the features of C++ that made that language difficult to use with his consumer-electronics projects. When Gosling completed his language-design project, he had a new programming language that he named Oak. (The story goes that the name Oak came to Gosling as he gazed out his office window at an oak tree.)

XCS

With the emerging XML Client/Service technology, web applications can embody a rich user interface, reliable messaging, and performance comparable to local desktop applications while still retaining the zero-install deployment advantage of the web. By combining XML Client/Service with Java technology, Nexaweb Technologies Inc. enables enterprise Internet applications to enjoy both the capability of .NET-like rich clients and the strength of J2EE.

How to keep Telemarketers away?

1. If you get one of those pushy people who won't shut up, just listen to
their sales pitch. When they try to close the sale, just put them on hold
till they give up.

2. If they start out with, "How are you today?" Just continue on with
telling about your problems.

3. If the person says he is from the ABC Company, ask him to spell his name,
then ask him to spell the company name, then ask where it is located.
Continue asking personal questions or questions about the company until they
hang up.

4. Say, "No," over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each no, and keep
an even tempo even as they're trying to speak. Keep going until they hang
up.

5. If nothing works, tell the Telemarketer you are busy and ask for their
residence phone number so that you can call them back late in the evening.

Fine interview with JAVA INVENTOR
James Gosling:-

The real competitor for us is, of course, Microsoft and .NET. And it’s going to be a day-by-day struggle. Competing with Microsoft always is. C# is an interesting one for us because…well, actually, it is hard to criticise C# because it is such a total clone of Java! But the fact is that Microsoft didn’t really do anything interesting with it. We had originally feared they would, but they decided not to.

I mean technologically, we are in great shape. But they have a bigger marketing budget than God. So they are difficult for us.
