  1. ChronosRegarding Java 26; I still wish Java had a web server built in — a proper one; not just one for development use.
  2. ChronosR.I.P. Applet API
  3. ChronosI still remember spending _way_ too much time getting my Java Applet to fill the entire client viewport of web browsers. Eventually got it working, but it was a PITA. :)

  13. dreamrealluddites
  14. nevetThe Luddites were English textile workers (~1811–1816) who destroyed labor-displacing machinery. Now a catch-all slur for tech skeptics.
