"The real problem as in the Iraq example given is not so much the two mentioned parties but the ones at the sideline who have reasons to maintain the status quo.

Europeans do not consider war to be one of several policy options, two World Wars were fought mainly in Europe, never on american soil. American civil population never experienced the attrocities of modern warfare. UK is one of the most loyal supporters of these American policies, for similar reasons: they were not occupied by the Germans... They are gratefull for the American help they got. But reluctance to start war is definitely NOT mainly an economic consideration.
BTW, java.awt.Robot allows to generate _OS-level_ user events. You can programaticaly double click somewhere on a screen location, say where your 'My Documents' shortcut is on your desktop, and that program will run and open the folder. I have done it. Not limited to the Java objects.
Is this a plea for a "stable" market, similar to the stable windows market ? What you're talking about is a monopoly based on proprietary formats. The real solution is an open format for games. A cartridge/CD/DVD that can be played on all consoles.
The Apollo project. One flag set (on the face of the moon). That is one bit of information or 1/256 of a byte. A total cost of 100 bilion $, makes 25,6 trilion $ per byte. But it was worth it...

I'm curious to find out how impressive it is. But out of the 3 times I've seen it, 2 times it was switched of, 3th time there was a menu up on the screen, but nothing worked (frozen OS, controllers broken, not plugged in ?). Happened in to shops of Carrefour belgium (Dutch/french only) Zillions of $ worth of marketing, but there is still hope...
from finding perfect numbers to solving basic algebraic equations--just for fun. However, I only have experience with Java, and BigInteger and BigDecimal suck pretty hard
Smalltalk is OO and has some better alternatives for arbitrary long integers. All numbers are objects, and understand appropriate operations (methods/or messages in ST) no problem calculating something as "12090 factorial"

The same is more or less true for APPLET.
IMHO MS saw its chance to hamper it's competitors, by adhereing to a standard. That's news. <sarcasm>Should be posted as a seperate story on/.</sarcasm>

Java exists for Smartcards too
More information
Let's hope so. That would be a blatant anti-competitive action. Somebody might even get the idea to file a lawsuit.
...now I can finally run NortonAV on my Linux box too. (or was that 'have too')
A little offtopic, but had to react on this:

They make Ferrari's, Alfa Romeo's, Ducati's,...

Guess they don't know about Tom's ?
I think it is not nice for SuSE, maybe they see it as a big blow to ? They are of German origin, after all. And they have a nice distro, I think.

It will work. But it wont capture any signal/send any signal outside the room. Yep, but it will still be working.

It's not the "corporation" but a lawyer smelling Euro's, who's taking the initiative.

Can you imagine MS handling a security breach like apache.org ? They link to it from their home page, real OPEN Source Software :)
