more definitive reasons why java sucks
so i've been porting this java application to a linux tomcat5 environment from it's "native" windows environment for the last 2 weeks...

wait... i thought java was supposed to be platform independent?

...and why does graphics2d output greatly differ, inasmuch as types seem to be not synching on linux and entire manipulations of g2d objects get vaporized before the function returns?

and another thing... who in their right mind decided to use an angle measurement in radians as the argument to the rotate() functions? nothing like IRRATIONAL numbers to clutter up code or eat up CPU cycles if you decide to use fractions of pi in your function calls. the guy who wrote this pile of crap was even confused, as he was using the approximation 1.58 to represent pi/2, apparently he was using a "baker's pi".

i mean, i've only been programming for 23 years... i guess the "new school" method is to use horrible languages to produce horrible code. i don't like this "new" school very much.

that's all the snark for today! stop back again!
