1995   Network World 4 Dec.   
JavaScript should make it easier for developers to populate World-Wide Web 
pages with audible and animated interactive screen elements.

2001   Economist 22 Sept.   
There is even a scripting language called JavaScript — a clever marketing 
ploy, since it is linguistically unrelated to Java.

Why do you hope I will not notice this?

    Ummmm ...  I guess its because I'm tired and depressed of thinking about 
gravitational 'waves', and need somebody to berate me -- and thus take my 
mind off this so-called wave search non-problem. When someone defines what a 
'wave' is and further what is 'waving' (other than the ludicrous space-time 
crap), then maybe I will stop needing abuse.

For understanding gravitational waves, why it is important to look
for them, and why space-time is not crap, you should subscribe to 
<news:sci.physics.relativity>.

For everything else, you should consider this:

  “Learn reason above all.  Learn clear thought: learn to know
   what is from what seems to be, and what you wish to be.

   This is the key to everything: The truth of reality,
   the reality of truth.  What /is/ will set you free.”

    ─Surak

(Notice that I did not berate you.)
