    It depends. I suppose you could, but Java does have that tendency to get painfully slow for any game that is not an applet...

    Or perhaps google will just be listed in their database of phishing sites.

  10. Re:Damn... on Skype Start-Up To Undercut International Wireless · · Score: 1

    I see your point. If making an outbound call is really that complicated, then I guess that Skype's idea isn't really that practical... I mean, how would Joe Sixpack figure it out?
