The web page at http://misogyny-central.com/fp1.html
runs a Java applet. The pertinent code is shown here ...

  <applet code="Time.class"
          codebase="http://misogyny-central.com/ipw-web/date/";
          width="308"
          height="20">
    <param name="textcolor" value="000000">
    <param name="backcolor" value="FFFFFF">
    <param name="font" value="Helvetica">
    <param name="fontsize" value="13">
    <param name="bordercolor" value="000000">
  </applet>

Is there any way of knowing what the applet "Time.class" will do?
Just because it's named "Time.class" doesn't mean it has anything
to do with time.  (A Java program can be named *anything* to hide
its true intent, and could conceivably be planting all sorts of
nasty stuff including spyware).

Is there a safe way to find out?
