I just heard today about the .stop, .suspend, and .resume methods on threads
being "deprecated" in Java now.  Why people want a language where things
like this get sorted out a couple of _years AFTER_ people were told this was
the new fashionable thing instead of a language where things like this were
hammered out in hundreds of pages of studies _before_ people had to use them
is beyond me.
