Java, NC, LN - 3 Musketeers and the Queen "CAFEBABE"

Java, NC, LN - 3 Musketeers and the Queen "CAFEBABE"

Java: Is NOT just a language as Mr.Bill Gates says, but is a international standard for 1 and 0 which 'simple computer' uses. There are two kinds of computers in this world. One is simple computer which works on series of 1's and 0's and the other is a complex computer which works on a series of 1's, 0's and other "complex bits".

Complex computer is generally used in defense industries and for very advanced super-computers. The information about complex computer is generally not made public.
Complex computer (supercomputer) will be zillions of times faster than fastest super-computer which U.S. made. Many countries are trying to build one, some country had already built one.

A simple example of standardising 1's and 0's is "CAFEBABE" of Java. The magic token in the beginning of every Java program is "CAFEBABE" (in hexa). Who is that guy who coined this word??! A guy who like CAFE and BABE!!
Once the computer reads CAFEBABE than immediately it understands what follows is the Java program!

You will hear a lot about JAVA and eventually it will become standard which will INSULATE the computer scientists/programmers from computer hardware (what a great relief!!).

Network computers will become replace the PCs on your desktop. Network computer is a great BREAKTHROUGH in computer hardware!!

So it is JAVA, NETWORK COMPUTER and LINUX who are 3 musketeers!!

Oops!! My Windows95 crashed now giving a ugly GPF fault! Another thing which is booming is Linux. Now Mr.Bill Gates put down those windows disks and see details given below:-
