And crutches you need when your<BR/>legs don't work. Translated into the programming world,<BR/>there is something seriously wrong with the legs.<BR/><BR/>The legs being Java. It is not only boring, it brings<BR/>down all creativity. And they stop thinking. Program<BR/>sizes of 800MB are normal. CPU usage of 80% in a quad<BR/>core is normal. Speed like VB on a VC20 in the eighties<BR/>is normal.rhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09307769622732055649noreply@blogger.com
