huh? Since when? If I hadnt installed Azureus a couple of months back I wouldnt have Java installed at all. There is very little, bar a few in-common-use bloated apps that require java. There are plenty of alternatives in all arenas to installing a complete virtual machine just to run a simple piece of software.
Java is far from ubiquitous, excepting all the college kids being taught java and nothing but.
eh. i am actually a rocket scientist (and yes my talent is wasted here). The answer to your rather obvious question is "when people stop buying their shares".

As for the person asking the question, I don't know about you but I went to a high school where the first thing we were taught is that we are responsible for the information we present in a paper. The student is responsible for citing sources & verifying that the source is reliable. If you can't do that, you're going to end up reading The Onion with either hilarious or catastrophic results. This is a valuable life lesson, let the students learn it early when the consequence is a bad grade instead of a lawsuit. If you told the students Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information, give them an F if they use one single reference from it. How can they argue with you, the instructor?
mayybe you're a gen'raytion 2 late (two korrect the problem). Ameruca dus"nt need to quote its sources. Amirika can declare war in continence. What has skulling (dats sic!) got to do with it? Chances are that if there no TV involvid you wont be gettang listnd to. Go visit a school. Askstuent real questions. Witness the shit^W propaganda that is being visited on this current generation of murikan children. If you still have hope after that please post again
Poor ickle Microsoft. Imagine how much it would cost for such a lowly little startup company so low in funding to rewrite a couple of functions/classes/begorras in the MS Word API. Yeah, you're probably right - it would cost billions...
At the US border, obviously! O_o. duh!!! You guys can have all the spam, malware and Chevrolites that you like. Us moped using, legally pot smoking, piratical nekkid swedish men^Wwhores in Europe are doing just fine tywm!
Shouldn't a nice white hat out there write a virus^Wworm that automatically mods users with a user handle containing the string "umpus" up/down every second hour... what could possibly go wrong?
Any IT Department or ISP that allows HTML email (presuming they are using spam scanners and if not why not) deserves all the extra traffic that it gets. Attachments have their own perils, but allowing random attachments that bypass all known silliness filters is stupidity. Ask yourself: what advantage do HTML emails give to your clients and network? What advantage does not allowing HTMl emails give to your clients and network?
Did you miss the articles a few months ago saying that every single post about new vista security feature would be ignored?
Wheres my proof? Wheres yours...
But by enabling SVG support as default before it's ready means that web developers will have to support broken half-implementations for years to come.
Where are you dragging these insinuations out of? Firefox 1.5 is still in development. Even when released not all features will be ready for public consumption - however, whether or not you have realised it, not that many websites actively employ SVG for their un-missable content.
Got up on the dismissive / pessimistic side of bed did we? May I suggest a little lie down. Everyone knows that Firefox is THE FUTURE. Why do you fight so hard young Jedi?
Yes, perhaps the OP is being a bit too zealous / over-optimistic, but IMO any face-pushing-into-the-muck with SVG is good. If people don't start using it, it'll get buried forever.
