I've never had any problem getting the live timing applet to work on
my Mac, even with Lion.
The flip side of course is that it doesn't work on Android, and Bernie
god bless his gold-plated cotton socks discontinued the free live
timing app this year to allow SoftPauer, who presumably are paying a
hefty premium, to be the sole official provider of live timing on all
mobile platforms. Unfortunate then that they try to charge £20 for a
season... their free app has hugely negative feedback because it isn't
as much a free app as an advert for the paid app, and we don't like
the price.
I'd kill to do some work in F1. I've heard McLaren use Java a fair
bit, and I came close to getting involved in ECU programming relating
to the development of prototypes for the 2014 engines a year or so
back, but that particular fish got away, more's the pity.
At the time I was referring I think we (Sun and Magneti Marelli)
introduced I think what was the first middleware for delivering telemetry
data in pure Java. Then came the rules about the single provider for
electronics and Mc Laren (if I recall correctly) started providing its own
systems to everybody. Is there any public information about current use of
Java (e.g. McLaren you referred) in F1? I'm not a F1 follower, but I'd
like to know how things have evolved. You know, in these years at
discussions about Java performance I'm extensively using the reference to
that project to shut up the casual "Java is slow" guy... :-) but I'd like
to have something more recent to cite.
