I have to disagree. I'm far from a Microsoft fan, but they've never prevented me from running software on their products because they disagreed with the content or subject matter.
They don't care what you're doing, as long as you're doing it on their platforms. (Although I've never owned a Zune or even seen one in person).
Apple, on the other hand, wants to completely control what you think and do when using their products.
It's comical but Apple's trying to make sure 2010 and beyond will be like 1984.
Either way you're going to give up a ton of personal info.
To get an iPhone you'll need an account with the mobile provider, meaning you'll need to give up your contact info as well as a lot of financial and credit information. This would be enough information to track you down and glean tons info about you.
Plus the iPhone uses a lot of google services and even if they switch away due to Android, Yahoo or whatever replacement is chosen will collect and track you in the same fashion.
'After being asked about the App Store's recent ban on "freedom to use your property as you see fit," Steve Jobs responded, "We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep freedom away from the iPhone. Folks who want freedom can buy an Android phone. You know, there's a lot of freedom for Android, you can use it anyway you want to, you paid for the hardware, it's yours. You can download porn, your kids can download porn, it's totally free and up to you to do what you want. That's a place we don't want to go, so we're not going to go there." Apps such as Playboy's and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition are still available on the App Store, however, as they come from "more reputable companies."'
Yeah, they're just java libraries that support executing script code so there shouldn't be any problems using them in an applet.
You can do anything in an applet that you can do in a Java app. The only difference being applets tend to be sandboxed more heavily due to the obvious security issues associated with their distribution. I should point out that you can sandbox regular Java apps in the same fashion, but it's less common.
Most of the popular languages for the JVM have compilers that let you compile to bytecode ahead of time (I've personally used Rhino, Jython and Groovy in this way). This works okay but it still requires a lot of wrapper instructions for handling the various dynamic aspects of scripting languages. This is what Java's Da Vinci and.NET's DLR attempt to simplify and optimize.
I use a Mac on a weekly basis. There's a noticeable lag due to the composition going on to create the nice Cocoa aesthetics. The same thing shows up on Ubuntu when you have effects enabled.
That delay is configurable. If you want instant context assistance, set the delay to 0 in the preferences.
This is something a lot of newbie developers seem to ask for but believe me, you do not want this. But there's no better way to learn.... set the popup delay to 0 and bask in the "fastness."
For the JDT tools its in Window->Preferences->Java->Editor-Content Assist->Auto Activation Delay

AHA! Now all the Flash burning parties going on at Apple make sense!
Burn the Flash, down with porn! Glory be to Jobs!
Interesting response, what good do you see in Jobs/Apple's stance?

What are you trying to hide anyway? ;)

I think it's better worded like this:

They're probably consolidating Bing down to a netbook to better serve the dozen or so people who use Bing.
And most of them are related to Steve Ballmer.
He did invent the video game by writing DONKEYBAS!

On the contrary, this sound like a job for
CAPTAIN PLANET!
Logical enough, that is if you're Pavel Chekov.
ooh tough guy, name calling as Anonymous Coward.
You seem to be the guy. I want to be the guy too, Anoncow. How can I be the guy?

It rocks until you need to support more than a dozen users. Then you need something like Java, which as proven to scale to meet any demand.
Just ask the folks at Twitter.
Those aren't really proofs of concept, they're used in many production environments.
The JVM is basically king of multilanguage "common runtimes." There are tons of languages targeting it.
all of the shorthand abbreviations such as ++ -- += -= *= etc are unusable
So you're saying we can't implement Brainfuck for Java? OH NOES
Have you played a Crytek game? 99% of it is just about graphics. Interactivity (fun, immersiveness), story, etc are all just after thoughts.
How are they going to insert ads into your printed documents if you're not sending them to cloud?
Actually, it's here: Citibank Onetime Use Numbers.
You dirty scammer on Slashdot!
It's annoying either way.
So in short: Use a credit card and if you get hit with fraud, have a backup credit card to use until the charges are reversed.
Most people don't realize that the onus is entirely on the bank to deal with fraud, it's their money and problem, not yours as a card holder.
I declare Baby Highlander!
There can be only one!
Vampires get burned by light. What do you have to say to that, smart guy?
fuck you!

Great looks but it sacrifices responsiveness.

That's exactly what it means and what Eclipse is today on any platform (except Mac... but it's because Mac UI is laggy, not Eclipse).
