Think it means that most machines are not memory or disk constrained these days, but there is extra processing to perform the dynamic linking. Sort of a cost-benefit argument it seems. Doesn't address the issue of security etc and the

Are you really trying to make the argument that a "fraternity" is a gender neutral organization? That's the direction you want to take the discussion?

There is not evidence that they complied the license. They were hacked and this source code was exposed. I suspect that they were not properly distributing links to the source for the LGPL library they used (especially since it seems like

Fair enough. I respect agree with your viewpoint, and you're not the one I'm calling out if that's your position. I do however think that from practical standpoint, when compared to copyleft licensing, permissive licensing is

Christopher Allen Webber is a FLOSS hero and in my opinion deserves the utmost respect, although I suspect he is probably too humble to agree with that. I concur with everything he has written in his post... but one thing I'd add to

Your preconceived notion of the definition of "hacker" might not be broad enough to encompass all of hackerdom. http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/hacker.html Even that definition is not all encompas

You're correct but I think he is more on your side than not. Where you want to lay claim to 'capitalism' as meaning 'free markets' I believe he chooses to relegate the term 'capitalism' to the sort of cron

I wonder if attitudes such as yours actually hold "open source" back. In my mind it can't be good to gin up infighting for no good reason, especially on a forum thread like this one that is not at all related to the topic of

Good, that seems like a smart move. It is of course possible for them to still ignore the results of that survey, or to game the results, or that a majority of respondents don't care or understand the issue anyhow. My point is that if

You're probably right... at the very least, they should re-brand the applet container because it does create massive amounts of FUD. As others have noted this is really a Windows issue, not an inherent flaw in Java. And as you note it
