Random thought: False Hope of Extensibility

Common Java anti-pattern is to name some classes as "DefaultFooClass" when there's actually no way to use any other implementation.

I think it should be called the "False Hope of Extensibility" anti-pattern.

Standards have fallen. Disappointed by IEEE

Personally, I'm disappointed that the IEEE is reporting this as a good idea. It's not and I'll just outline a few of the issues:

- Horribly exothermic, a lot of lost energy.

- Did I say lost energy? Making aluminium from aluminium oxide takes a lot of energy.

- Hydrogen embrittling of the gasoline engine.

- Accelerated corrosion of the exhaust manifold.

Come on! This shouldn't even have passed a basic engineering review. This is basic A Level chemistry!
