Blackdown's Awful Scroll Advertisement Applet

2000-09-21 Thread Bruce Miller

Hi all;
  I can recognize that advertising is important to support 
web sites, BUT...

Its bad enough that the scroll ad applet seems to want to 
consume all available cpu, but couldn't it AT LEAST
STOP when the user switches pages !?!?!

And on a Linux Java page, at that, ...sigh...

Haha, so I am not the only one noticing this, and in fact now I am not
the only one vocal enough to voice this!

Besides posting on this mailing list last month, I also emailed the
company.  If the serious and obvious programming flaw has not been
rectified by now, that means the company has no clue.  We can give up
now.

Given that the blackdown website needs to host an advertisement,
couldn't it come from a clueful company that writes good code?

But, oh, wait, only clueless companies that produce lousy software
can make money and have a budget for advertisements...  I think we
can really give up now.

The bright 21st century of the information age will run on lousy
programs.  There is a sad joke on why we haven't been visited by
aliens: when a civilization becomes as advance as ours, it tends
to run out of quality software and quality programmers.

The Deitels' Java How to Program and Linux

2000-09-21 Thread Peter D. Junger


I have purchased the Deitels' Java, How to Program, text since I like
their C++ book. 

The Java text says that all the examples run under J2SDK, but that does
not seem to be available for Linux.

Does anyone have any suggestion as to what I should use for a substitute?

Thanks.

I had the same problem with our own website.  We pay a 3rd party $$$
per month to host and design our site, and they're a Winblows-only
development shop.  If it looks okay in IE at 800x600, it must be fine.  
Ignore users at 1600x1280, screw Netscape users, and forget Lynx completely.  

I pointed out that to non-IE users, our CEO's name was too small to
read.  It got fixed.

Then, there's the problems that appear when the designers are 
on a 100mb ethernet into the server and don't consider the poor 
fools still on 28800 modems who have to download the 2meg applet 
that produces their 2Kool welcome banner.

I disable java and javascript when I'm browsing.

J2SDK is Sun's proper name for what (for historical reasons) everyone calls
JDK1.2. Versions for Linux are available from Blackdown, Sun, and IBM.

Is the J2SDK not the Java 2 development kit? You can get version 1.3 of
the JDK from java.sun.com. Java 2 by the way is exactly the same as
1.2! Don't ask why, it just sounds better I suppose!

I want to thank all who explained that what I am looking for is JDK1.2 
or greater.

I am now downloading an rpm of JDK1.3-11 from Caldera, which I hope
will run on my redhat 6.x boxen.

Re: Blackdown Applet

2000-09-21 Thread Mark Ogden

I see what you mean about the applet. After I flicked through a few pages
Netscape crashed and it seemed to take the whole of X with it! Hmmm...no
response from anything until I killed NN. Is this a prob with the applet
or with NN? I'm running 4.7.

I have a quick question while I'm here. Is there a significant difference
between the Linux JDK from Sun and the Linux JDK from Blackdown?

I'll vote for NN... I've been running that applet for a few hours
solid now in appletviewer and it's behaving fine. I do see that the
code has been processed through DashoPro however... I'm not sure
why but I've seen netscape's vm have very adverse reactions to their
classes in the past.
