You don't have to be registered to type a username in the "unregisterd" space. This would make it easier to see who is who.

To the person talking about the "error 1608:" I have also thought about the potential problem in granting java access to use limewire, which could then run other java programs. Can you explain the whole story, from the beginning, in simple terms? What is this "hack" that you're talking about?

Peace
Quick hack meant its own meaning, not a hacker thing, its just a simple tweak to get rid of that error.

I didn't "die" to Install limewire but having enormious problems with certain sites (using Java 2 tech) using alternative browsers such as Opera, Netscape 6 I tried like dozens of things to make them work smoothly. At last I figured whats the problem with them.

Than I remembered "Errror 1608" while installing Limewire before, I re-downloaded it (I am damn sorry for that now), checked, no "error 1608".

I reported my quick fix (better than the hack word I assume) to several Java based companies affected including Executive Software having same problem.

Not Limewire, that TopMoxie must begone than we talk. I apreciate (REALLY) Limewire guys and respect them for coding worlds first really usable end user java 2 app but NOT Topmoxie.

Let me say, if I was an american, I would sue TopMoxie.

Also LimeWire developers, I am sorry about my flaming to you, at least half of it. As TopMoxie is an Java app too, I wrongly understood that you coded it too. As I know your programming skills, I was horrified.

Lets say, what about implementing this?:
http://www.opera.com/opera5/ads.html

Java would play with XML like a toy, especially Java 2 platform. Its purely opt-in and hundreds of thousands sent their profile to Opera soft with their own free will. My reason was, not to see stupid ads, at least the ads who may concern me and believe, when they are like that (whats the need of harvesting millions of URLs user visited, just to get a clue about their age etc) you really CLICK them.

Nobody currently "cries" that Opera is spyware too, its just because they are really opt-in.

As I was blamed to be counter-productive, maybe you would take it as my apologies. I am not generally agressive and anonymous like that.

Last note, get rid of TopMoxie, it will give you a REAL headache soon.

Have a nice day,
