Of course it's not. Did you not notice I said "client technology"? Why would a user care about which server technology is being used to serve up a site? > Crashplan runs java on the client, and backups are darn well important. > Remove java - and bang, there goes your backups. > I never said you could not find a useful client Java application. It's just a fact that 99% of people have no use whatsoever of a JRE, it's just another potential attack vector that needs to be maintained. If the user wants to use an application that declares a dependency of a third part application, let him/her download and install it first - or better yet, integrate the runtime. > I like my backups. > Don't we all?! Reliable backup should be an automatic service/daemon though, not a front-end/user-level application. Try rsync, it's fast, flexible and pervasive. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
