Extending an analogy
Ted Leung extends a comment made by Phil Windley:
Phil: Java is preferable to C++ in exactly the same way that driving a 1994 Chevy Impala is preferable to driving a 1978 Ford LTD.
Ted: And of course neither is anything like a BMW, Acura, Porsche or Ferrari.
Heh. Supply your own definition of what the analogs are; you know what mine is.

Diablo

Funny, I just saw a Lamborghini Diablo for the first time in my life yesterday while on my way home from work. I caught up to him...thanks to a stoplight. Then he sped away.
Then I read your journal this morning.
What does this have to do with your journal entry? Well, nothing. It just reminded me that I saw a really sweet car yesterday. ;)
