if a lot of your backend processes that you want to get pushed to the front end are already coded in Java?

personally I code everything in Java. My company in the past years has gone from Windows -> Solaris -> Linux -> 32-bit -> 64-bit and I haven't had to touch any of my applications except for the initial "directories are different between Windows and *nix" fixes.

Americans live in a uniquely isolated linguistic world - where language variation is seen as weird or a threat.

wat? i live in nyc and I believe I'm the only person who uses the subway that speaks english.

we also have English dialects. listen to 5 words someone says and you can say "they are from new england" or "definitely from the south"

i personally demand everyone pronounce "Fiver" to rhyme with river.

so you say language variation is seen as "weird" or a "threat" and then demand that people say the word EXACTLY like you imagine it being said. weird.
