I agree. The article reads, to me, like: "BitTorrent revolutionizes file
sharing. Famous Person quoted as saying 'I used to share files with my
friends by burning CDs and taking the bus, but the BitTorrent protocol is so
much faster. Buses are good for some things, like public transportation, but
BitTorrent is the wave of the future, baby!'"

Then again, they probably mean to compare the "JSP" subset of Java to
PHP, but the "Marc Andreessen [...] gave his backing to a new software
programming language from Sun Microsystems Inc. That blessing launched the
Java language as a counterweight to Microsoft Corp.'s technology dominance."
paragraph is VERY misleading in this regard.
