I just tried that telnet program. It started off nicely but as soon as I tried connecting the GUI froze up, I left it running for several minutes and nothing changed. Heh, that is possibly the worst telnet client i've ever used.
(Using Sun's Java 1.4 on linux)
Another interesting point is that of all the clientside java apps mentioned, they've been Java gui development apps, ie Eclipse and Borland Jbuilder. Now excuse me, but why isnt that very impressive?
Java promises so much but delivers little, very very slowly.. I for one have moved on to better things like Python.
Yes, the parent is correct. Reading the article:
"In a strict seven-bit code this would give 128 permutations (two to the power of seven) but Professor Urton said because there were 24 possible colours that could be used in khipu construction, the actual permutations are 1,536 (or two to the power of six, multiplied by 24)."
