    The innocence of Java

    If brand awareness is the issue, they could rename it "Mohammed". That always seems good for generating plenty of publicity.

    If the J is the problem...

    ... then it's got to be just Boss. Like the AC said above, this paves the way for endless Springsteen references.

    The flames, because I'm On Fire.

    I'll just leave this here...

    These are the Cubans, baby. This is the Cohibas, the Montecristos. This is a kinetic-kill, side-winder vehicle with a secondary cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine RDX burst. It's capable of busting a bunker under the bunker you just busted. If it were any smarter, it'd write a book, a book that would make Ulysses look like it was written in crayon. It would read it to you. This is my Eiffel Tower. This is my Rachmaninoff's Third. My Pieta. It's completely elegant, it's bafflingly beautiful, and it's capable of reducing the population of any standing structure to zero. I call it "The Ex-Wife."

    wow - firstly...

    to the one yclept 'Ben Holmes' : How sucketh must it to be thee, verily. Hie thee off this forum! Or stay according to thy will, sire.

    Secondly, why not call it Babel, as in, Tower of? So many folks with buying power loves that old time religion.

    or

    Babel Away Dollars Application Server System (BADASS). Gives it a bit of edge.

    Unbelievable that people spend the only life trying to chase more more more. How empty inside is Larry Ellison by the way? Empty as Paris? Emptier.

    Platform for Launching Enterprise Bytecode Images Across Networked Servers (P.L.E.B.I.A.N.S.) anyone?
