uptime gone

About to get some electrical work done at home, but this means that :

~$ uptime
 07:33:29 up 21 days, 18:27,  2 users,  load average: 0.32, 0.09, 0.03

this goes away. Uptime starts again :-(

Java 5

Java 5 J2SE aka "Tiger" is about to be released. Looking at the release notes and the Java 5 in a Nutshell article, Java's finally got generics (Ada had them in 1983 :-) not to mention inherited primitive type boxing borrowed from C#, and varargs, and as would expected, many more APIs.

The market swing (pun intended) appears to be towards C#. Will this release revive Sun's fortunes?
