You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in.
No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow.
They know it is going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically
dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kind of
dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or
goals are in doubt.

Sun has released "Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8" (quite a catchy name I might add, of course I bitch about the silly marketing only names, and now I am poking fun at this no nonsense name, so maybe its just me, at least Sun ONE was a bit easier to say) and its claim to fame is that its the first J2EE 1.4 compliant app server. Ok, I know, the answer to your question is yes, Sun does actually have an app server, no, no one ever uses it, but it does exist.

That leads up to other Sun news, they lost $760M in the last quarter, ouch.
