I agree -- it is quite ridiculous to expect that. My first CS course, my professor told me to look at each person on either side of you, and realize that they will not be here when you graduate. And I think thats obviously because the material is difficult, but also because the way they taught the entire major was most definitely sink or swim. Quality people who may be more creative may get left behind because they don't come up to speed as quickly, and so the industry as a whole may miss out on good people.

The article doesn't say or allude to the Java sandbox being crippling. The Java Sandbox is a good, safe, standardized environment.

The start of something bigger? What the hell are you talking about? My dog shit on the rug the other day, I think its the start of something, something big...some world-wide uprising of house broken dogs revolting against their owners!
