If I quote CG "Java is like this Japanese soldier, who fought WWII in the jungle twenty years after the war was over". So Java may popup time to time, just to annoy the people, and is still supported from some organizations like Oracle for example, put it pretty much dropped from the technology main stream years ago.

But it somehow tops all language popularity rankings? Yeah, those probably have a typo...

I wouldn't say that. Java is the first class language for Android which is why the popularity is still high.

Java is not dead like "Rolling Stones are forever" - yes, while exist oldfags to scream about it. Real life moves forward and Java just sit and watches for C# on the horizon!

Nope, just ironic word Russians borrow to describe old guy, who lives in a previous century and doesn't want to live in an actual time, ignoring modern culture, things, etc. They think "everything great" was made only by his generation.
Java is the same story - people who study it 15 years ago just stopped in progress - they still think programming is writing 100-LOCs to save CSV data. Hardly they will make something meaningful nowadays!

java. It's terrible.
MySQL. It's terrible (which is strange considering it is from Oracle)
XML is, more or less OK although this does depend on the need. Here we work with CSV, ASCII, xls and FITS files all with their good and bad and worse formats, so here it's not technology itself, but rather how they use it.
Linux. Some swear by it, I hate it.
openoffice/libreoffice.  open office is probably all right, but libre office? 
iTunes. They should execute the humans involved in this piece of cr*p.
Most technologies are OK depending on how you use them.

I agree with you on each point  except on MySQL, only because I never used it

an example. MySql doesn't support milliseconds in their datetime objects...
See here[^]
However, when MySQL stores a value into a column of any temporal data type, it discards any fractional part and does not store it.
|
|
|
|
|
You rather conveniently left-out the very next sentence.
"MySQL 5.6.4 and up expands fractional seconds support for TIME, DATETIME, and TIMESTAMP values, with up to microseconds (6 digits) precision:"
It seems apparent that the origin of this particular problem lies with the people controlling your working environment, rather than MySQL.
This version of MySQL (5.6.4) was released over three years ago. (20 dec 2011)

I´ll have to reinvestigate then, because it isn´t working here. My Client is 6.0 I think, but I don´t know about the server.

You just have to use it enough to get used to it.... then the flexibility of it becomes quickly apparent (and neat).

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I agree with you in everything but Linux. I love it, wish I knew more about it and like to play around with it from time to time.
It's a playground for me, doing something different from time to time.

Linux is nice, while you do NOTHING IMPORTANT - like keeping home server with 3 html pages. Once you need to do the job, Linux converts to the time machine and EATS YOUR TIME! Not even twice I tried to make something and caught myself making everything, but the work: update libraries, install missing packages, playing with settings, forcing some device to work, etc. - it's unix way - to waste time for nothing.

The phone on my desk - it is able to handle almost any kind of singe-/multi- conversation, but I almost unable to handle it...
I'm also terrified of fax-machines, each of them...

I recoil in terror if my desk phone rings

I turned the ringer off on mine years ago, been loads better ever since.

The ringing isn't the problem, but when some-one asks me to transfer the call I'm starting to sweat...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I just pretend to drop the handset. Transferring calls is meddling in the affairs of wizards
