    Alas that is not true. A friend, after a drinking large amounts of beer, got giggy with a teddy bear. A picture was taken, and published to a number of website.
    Alas I can no longer find a copy of this picture. :(

    Didn't the contents of the harddrive also became the property of the buyer????

    The porn most likely did not "belong" to the seller but to the porn-peddlers, nor would the seller have any legal right to distrubute it. I wounder if the porn-peddlers could go after the buyer for illegally distributing IP?

    P as in PHP & perl (etc)

    Both are dynamic typed languages. The JVM does not do dynamicly typed, so making The P Languages work on the JVM is a pain.

    Java 7 might be including extra instruction codes in its Byte Code (which will not be used by Java (the language)) which will let dynamicly typed languages run on the JVM without the pain currently required.

    I'm guessing that this is how the Open Source thing got started again.

    often slower than that running on Suns JVM.

    I know this is going to upset people, so just a quick note on this.
    1) Most Java code ends up compiled to native.
    2) This (the VM) is not the "slow(+)" bit of Java, GC, and Swing(*) are.

    +) Slow, and memory intensive are different things.
    *) I love swing as an API, and when put into the hands of a GOOD developer, it can be speedy.
