Annakin: You mean using this 'Java' and 'C or C++' he could actually . . . command . . . IBM Cell Processors. Bring multi core programming to life?

Chancellor Palpatine: 'Java' and 'C or C++', Annakin, are pathways to many abilities SOME would consider to be . . . UNNATURAL.

Annakin: Is it possible to learn these skills?

Chancellor Palpatine: NOT from a Jedi.

or, if you choose . . .

Annakin: You . . . KNOW 'Java' and 'C'?

Emperor-Imminent Palpatine: If we wish to understand the FULL nature of the coding universe, we must embrace a . . . a LARGER view of hacking Annakin. Not just the DOGMATIC assertions of the Jedi.

Annakin: <Draws his lightsaber> YOU"RE the hacker everyone's been looking for. You represent 'Java'!

Emperor-Imminent Palpatine: Are you going to kill me?

Annakin: I would certainly like to!

Emperor-Imminent Palpatine: Yeeesssss . . . I can FEEL your anger. It gives you FOCUS!

I thought this was funny, I'm surprised it was downmoded so much. Granted it isn't as relevant as other high thoughts expressed on news.yc--such as the history of bagels. But... still funny.
