I didn't know that about the Pentium Pro - fascinating. I always did like the pentium pro when it came out - there was something about it that just worked so nicely - I wondered what happened to that lineage. I guess I am using it now ;) On Feb 27, 9:34 pm, Casper Bang wrote: > > Not sure I com

I assume the x86 dependance has been driven by Windows. Every other platform seems to be able to deal with different CPU. With Unix OSs the CPU target is just one extra option in the chain. Even Apple, in their unique position have been able to slash and burn legacy. The only way I can see Window

Banking sites mainly - for the security software. It's a pity, but understandable. Compare the installation of flash vs java... lot's of progress to make there. Webstart on the other hand is a lot easier to sell to end users. On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 01:52, Miroslav Pokorny wrote: > When was the

I don't know about another engine, but make sure you're not doing any business logic in the EDT. That'll slow down rendering for sure. On Sun, Feb 27, 2011 at 16:40, Henrique M. Gontijo wrote: > Hi, > > I have an application built in Java Swing and I show there some html > content in a JEditorPan
