64-Bit Java For Linux

    So... the most desirable applications for 64 bit Linux are virtual machines to run applications meant for somewhere else?

    So much for the "mainstream" myth.

    There is nothing that can only be implemented with a Java plugin. Javascript has reached the point where much of what plugins had been used for in the past can now be done directly. If you're using a Java plugin, you're doing it wrong.

    What are you talking about? 64-bit computing is coming here slowly? I jumped on 64-bit computing 10 years ago with a DEC Alphastation, and a Sun Ultra 10 after that.

    The kids these days have no respect for what brought them to where they are today.
