Please do. The only proper solution will be to disable Java from opening windows outside the browser content, which is as it should have been since day one.
It's nice to se that they admit being slow on startup. This is important on desktop.
(A blue-sky ideal startup time is 0.1 seconds, practically 1 second is OK, more is slow).
Also, lazy-garbage collected programs use more memory and usually also force it in RAM (Generational collection helps here, at cost of using even more virtual memory).
IMO, until garbage collector and VM are integrated in the OS kernel, memory management will suffer on desktop systems (aka, systems not dedicated to a single application).
I've been watching old British shows like Doctor Who (Tom Baker), Blakes 7 and The Prisoner is the best one I've seen (Doctor Who episodes are too variable from boring to great, and the Blakes 7 got "lost" somewhere before the end).

Unfortunately most laptop screens dont view at all well in sunlight.
Please, nobody complain again about Star Trek starship alignment.

You mean Americans are screwing themselves in Iraq. Yeah, that's about right.
Hmm, is there a game with a Toyota pickup truck?
No, the problem is people programming applications using the principle of least resistance.
To anyone that has ever sucked on hose to start the gasoline flow, this seems dangerous.
Conversion doesn't work since there will likely be data loss in each step.. Just think .doc -> ...
You really need open / published formats for archiving.
What I wish is that the computer graphics advance to a point where ST:TOS can continue with the original crew.

IMO, git could really the mercurial UI.
It would then be a no-brainer for switching CVS(->SVN)->git.
Right now, I'm leaning more towards mercurial.
Forever.
But they REALLY BROKE it since approximately the stupid active desktop, since now the taskbar freezes too.
True, but many people do look at keys when typing.
Marketing is not a problem. Lawyers and managers are.
It's even more fun changing the insta_weapon to gauntlet (much fun) and see the cheaters leave.
IMO, such things will not really be usable as long as people have to manually do the load/store operations either from web or the local storage.
This needs to be solved declaratively, by making browser do all the client side work.
Actually, it wasn't a crowbar until it was bent around the magnet.
It would be better to have a

checkbox.
If they wanted to be helpful they would disable the stupid double-click-drag-drop-move-in-the-tree-view that often
happens for me under W2K/XP.
The Prisoner is brilliant!

Installation must NOT involve any execution of the code from the package.
If it does it is likely that uninstalls and upgrades will not work reliably.

I'd love to have this one (it's a Carver, a tilting 3 wheeler).
It'd help if it would be a 3/4 of a price of a normal car.
Most home users have been forced to buy XP home anyway.
