    Applets are very ofton baddly written, the language can not protect you (the end user) from very bad developers.

    Err, mine is.

    Also, for deployment, use Webstart, and not touch the CLASSPATH.

    Jo User does not know this, a few do. And they can normally be bribed, I find removing real play, and installing something that looks for the real player exec, and kills it each time it runs, and crashes the computer every 10th time normally works.

    Where is the "depiction of a calendar", with "multiple time slots" or the "map at a position corresponding to a geographic location".

    With POP/IMAP/SMTP you only need to visit every now and again, and your'll quickly learn "delete" (loschen).

    I have this problem with my account (GMX) which use to have an english page, but they killed it.

    For orginals sure, but in my tests, PNGs are about x2+ the size of a JPEG, even after going through PNGOUT/pngcrush.

    Plus the main photo editors (Photoshop for example) PNG support sucks (as it creates over sized PNGs).

    Both (PNG/JPEG) have a place in the www, its just not the same place.

  20. Re:I believe that GPL is pretty clear on this on Is Sveasoft Violating the GPL? · · Score: 1
    So, now when "release 2" comes out, what do you do? You can't have a subscription anymore, but you're entitled to the source via the GPL anyway.

    Only recipients of the binary are entitled to the source. If you don't have access to the Version 2 binary, you don't have a "right" to the source code.
    Everyone who obtains a copy of the source (either by paying, or by grabbing it of BitTorrent) has the right to give you the source.

    Personally I don't like what Sveasoft is doing. I think it goes against the spirit of the GPL, but not the letter.

    There is a masive difference between "simply kill" and "act defensively".
