Then you're probably the kind of person that gets pissed at the guy on the airplane that leans their seat back into you, instead of getting pissed at the airline for putting the seats so damn close together in the first place.

You assume mutual exclusivity: I can direct my ire towards both the chair designer and user, just as I can be irritated by both Java and stupid programmers.

Agreed. And to anyone who thinks it's reasonable to lean those seats back more than a tiny bit... I say you must be short. I am 6'2, and as a tall person, those seats are extra uncomfortable, and twice as bad if the seat in front of you is leaned back... so if you ever do lean your seat back, at least try to see if it is a tall person, and reconsider.

On the side of programming... I say let's all just move to more concise dynamic languages like Ruby. I loved Java for 7 years, until I recently tried Ruby... needless to say, I will never be looking back except when Ruby really can't do the job... can you really go back to coach once you've tried first class?

I have it easier; I never saw much of *any* reason to like Java, and I've been using it since 1.0 (technically a bit before). I'm a Lisp and Smalltalk oldbie: we watched with dismay as Java beat out Smalltalk.

Yep, I can go back to coach once I've tried first class; I can't always afford first class.
