Please…. No more 8080

Those of you who run many of the linux/java applications know that number “8080″. Right. It is the port address that almost every program that runs wants to use, http://localhost:8080/SomeApp. Unfortunately, only one can use the port at the same time. I don’t want to waste my time anymore finding and changing, then remembering the new port address that I was forced to change so I can run these applications simultaneously.

Seems like there is no imagination out in software land. Can’t software developers find other numbers to use… It’s really not hard to think of other numbers. I can even supply them some number if they want. Just write back to me.
