While unwillingly attempting to educate myself in the dark arts of Java, I
came across this in a bit of (official Sun) documentation:
Passivation is the opposite of activation.
Only a Java programmer could be that f**cking bloody minded, pig ignorant,
or both. Amusingly, ejbPassivate is a method of entity beans, which look
suspiciously like on of the most stupid things I've ever come across. But
then I'm not a real programmer.
