the  rest of java  is  lots of libs. nice to have but big..

Which is written very oopsy. rewrite that for size and its  1 mb 
more.

how big is a flash-download?

Just under 2 mb from what I can tell

Would allow 3mb uncompressed.

I tried deploying a commercial tool in the brower and its very effective. 
 hehe it allows people to circumvent their sysadmins  :-)

But needs lots of knowledge about the  internals. Maybe if based 
on ME . butall  speculations.. :)

I only wish there where a safe way to implement local file sandbox 
within plugin.  AFAIK, the write and save commands do nothing...

AFAIK they work like desktop-sandbox. in another folder.

run a script  and show what-dir

moving to plugin group.

popups etc

a cylindrical decoration

Which was not to say it shouldn't be something other than it is, 
just that it isn't not what you thought it ought to be.

Apple's iPhone has got a competition. It it in no way revolutionary. 
Eugenia from OSNews has some nice blog about it. First there was 
LG, now there is Samsung - those companies surely had such products 
in development for quite some time. Here's first look at Samsungs 
machine. And it got keyboard!

Hopefully the long link works ....

apple did say somewhere they werent the manufacturers.

that is a really nice toy btw.

LG Prada is another one, maybe even OpenMoko

so, can you make calls on it?

make calls on what?

the samsung phone

Samsung dunno, LG Prada should be out soon - it is being tested by 
various servers already

it's ok. Calling on a phone is apparently unimportant anyway. :-)

I don't understand - it is not a pda, it is a smartphone, so why 
should not be it possible to make calls on it?

it was a joke

ah, joke not in a humour channel :-)

not news, but this is like science fiction made true !!!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_machine

Taken from OSNews - so much for a "great" Apple:


Parallels recently made a definitive statement saying that the company 
won't be making it easy for users to run OS X in a virtual environment 
anytime soon. The reasoning behind this was because they don't want 
to put their users at risk of breaking the OS X EULA - unlike Windows 
Vista, there is no version of OS X that can be run under a virtual 
machine - and more importantly, they don't want to strain their (currently 
good) relationship with Apple. As a followup to that statement from 
Parallels, I was able to also get in touch with Srinivas Krishnamurti, 
VMWare's Director of Product Management and Market Development in 
order to get VMWare's official position on the matter. 

Apple does not currently allow running Mac OS X in a virtual machine," 
he said. "Apple is an important partner and VMware respects Apple's 
intellectual property."

The license restriction in question is one stating that Mac OS can 
only be run on Apple hardware. This restriction has been in their 
licenses for a long time. It should be noted that restrictions like 
this are often illegal for them to enforce in most countries that 
have consumer protection laws, such as all "Western" countries.

Still, they can throw lawyers at you, and even if you are in the 
right, legal fees will likely bankrupt you. Legalized extortion.

In contrast, Windows licensing allows you to run in virtual machines 
as long as you own a license for the OS in the VM. This is even the 
case for Vista Home, despite "reports" to the contrary. With Vista 
Ultimate, you can reuse the license of the host in VMs running in 
the same computer.

This is from the time where the Apple clones were killed, as Apple 
lost a lot of money to them, since they couldn't compete with them. 
Removing the clones and prohibiting use of MacOS on other than Apple 
hardware "solved" that problem.
