- Java Turns 10: The Developer Retrospective
Java passed the 10-year milestone this May. DevX asked developers to reflect on the language's first decade, assess where it stands today, and speculate where it's going. The diversity of responses, including industry notables from within Sun, IBM, BEA, and Borland, indicates that Java is as vital as ever.

2. SIGHTINGS AROUND THE WEB: Dumb Laws
No, I'm not using this newsletter as a forum to speak out against laws that I think are dumb ... but now that you mentioned it.... Oh well, back to business. This is a Web site that has collected laws from all the 50 states (some foreign countries too) that just don't make sense. Here are a few samples. Enjoy!
A Federal law states that it's illegal to give free alcohol to Indians who
live on reservations. In California, women may not drive in a house coat.
In Tennessee, you can't shoot any game other than whales from a moving
automobile. In Florida, it's illegal to sing in a public place while
attired in a swimsuit. In Connecticut, it's illegal to dispose of used
razor blades. In New York, the penalty for jumping off a building is death.
And in Wyoming, it's illegal for women to stand within five feet of a bar
while drinking.
