I just had to add a comment to this :-)
My 3.5 and 4 yr old learned the work "ridiculous" last week in conjunction with their pre-school song "Elephants Have Wrinkles".
They came home saying, "Oh Dad, that's ridiculous." Took a few days to learn where they got that word :-)
Kind of puts life into perspective.

I have the same objections to the content Mike posts re: Java. It's okay to advocate for your own technology, but to try to run down the "competition" with silly name-calling and disparaging remarks is a bit ridiculous.

Okay, I'll respond to a few specific points just because they're so very egregious.
If there were a battle in the PHP community I would expect a "fork" in the project.
Yeah, kind of like the fork in the PHP community and the branch called THE_5_4_THAT_ISNT_5_4. Read, man, read. It's out there!
Dude, I may say that Java was difficult for me to learn. But I would never disparage it (except for comic relief).
First you call WebSphere "WebsFear".
In fact, Zend Server CE supports the JavaBridge which is based upon an open source project and is designed for recovering Java Developers trying to work through their 12 steps in the world of PHP.
And THEN you disparage Java.
This isn't comic relief. This is calling Java "too complex", one of those standard talking points. It's not "too complex", it's just "more complex" because it does so much more. For example, why don't you remind us, Mike; what language is Zend Studio written in?
You want to advocate PHP? Sure, go ahead. But you probably don't want to try to sell it as a better programming language than Java. It may be a better solution for a specific task, but an enterprise programming language it ain't.
