Thanks for the clarification. When you were refering to Sun making everyone use their compiler/runtime/etc, you were refering to the specifications, not the implementations. That's where the confusion arose.
Sun wants everyone to use Java on every platform - without putting forth the effort to port it to every platform themselves. But more importantly, they want everyone to use their compiler/runtime/etc
Can you clarify these statements? They seem to contradict eachother. If Sun truely wants everyone to use their compiler/runtime/etc, how can they not port it to every platform on their own?
In the news today, SDMI announces it has found a completely unbreakable watermark technology to be embedded in all music printed from this time forward. SDMI promises that the new watermark cannot simply be removed by removing the inaudiable bits of the song.
In a related story, the music world was rocked today as drummers in all recording groups today were fired, to be replaced with the SDMI BeatMaster drum machine. The BeatMaster apparently comes with 4 different drum tracks available that artists must, er, "are strongly encouraged" to use with all their recordings.
Double Click Shopping is the process wherein javascript or other similar technology is used to determine the number of successive clicks on a link and only activate when such count reaches two. Upon two clicks, an order for said item is automatically entered into the system, given that the user is already entered into the system. Thus we attain the same ease of use as the "One Click Shopping" while using a distinctly different operation that is already quite familiar to most computer users.
