Java is one of the few technologies that actively competes for the title 
of "most buzzword laden".  Don't get me wrong, I like the language 
itself (for the most part), and the newer compilers are *way* better 
than the first generations of "OMG this is slow" bytecode-makers - but 
it's nearly impossible to visit java.sun.com without getting sick by the 
proliferation of manager-speak.  "E-commerce your bean middleware for 
the enterprise by leveraging Java(R)(TM) Technologies(C)!"

--Danny, actually thinking that the symposium might be a good deal (but 
still making fun of Java's hype)
