Java is fast compared to literally every other option other than c or c++ (or c# I guess but this is the linux thread)

lol at all the people who say "Java is slow" and then go off and use ruby or Python or javascript

lowtax should replace the html with a java app that lets you telnet directly to the forums server and post using a curses interface.

Even better, lowtax should open a phone bank and have people call into the forms.

Anyone remember that one mod that let you configure the kernel using a text adventure engine?

Knowing nothing about embedded java or the inner workings of smart cards I can say my expert opinion from being a computer user is that java sure has a lot of security updates.

It seems like it would be really easy to fix - just needs to be open source so we can audit it. What does #include do? Could it be malicious?

Sun was encrypting the source drops I got from them in 1997, so probably not no.
