On the splash screen while the JDK is installing, it claims that three billion devices run Java, and lists parking meters are one type of device that runs it. I mean, Oracle has got to be fucking with me, right? Why the fuck would a parking meter need to run Java? Are we really such a decadent society that we would rather pay to have the entire JVM ported to whatever hardware is installed in a fucking parking meter than just hire an embedded systems programmer? Absolutely disgusting.
3 billion is an underestimate. TouhouOracle is being conservative.

Language such as yours is provocative, dim, and useless in the context of a genuine technical conversation. If this is your preferred method of expressing your frustrations, then if you decide to spend the rest of your life coding in Java, I tend to doubt that you would be much missed.
I was intern at an unnamed credit card company. I was tasked to deploy to production. Well accidentally I forgot to uncheck the ASK-toolbar option and now 500 million credit cards actually have ASK-toolbar running in the background xD. They still don't know.

>>12 500 java installations in the memory of every Jew that, according to the Jews, died in the holocaust. However, also according to the Jews, 6 million of them died even before WWII, several times even.
