'java' is a common US term for 'coffee' (which is why Sun's "Java" has a
coffee-cup logo).  I fully agree we need a flamewar on _that_ language
oddity, given that coffee originated from Eastern Africa (presumably
near the town named Kaffa, in Ethiopia) and the best current varieties
are grown in Brazil and brewed in Italy (even Starbucks acknowledges
the latter implicitly with their Italianoid naming for their concoctions),
so, why should the largest island of _Indonesia_ give it its name...?!
