Someone else's blog shares my pain on this one:
How Midlet Signing is Killing J2MEI see I am not the only one hip to this bullshit!
And the recently-announced LWUIT crap is just lipstick on a very stinky pig!
And this guy is in some kind of fucking dream-land!
Numbers That CountHe must own his own CA or something, or think that we all have thousands of dollars to piss away on their certified bullshit programs.
No silly! He works for Sun!!
Next best thing, I reckon....
That means "electricty" if you are not hip on Northern English slang...
Yes, what a bummer! Our Internet connection was down for most of the day, as IT staff struggled heroically to bring routers and other networking-whatnot back into packet-shuffling mode.
At first it wasn't too bad, but then it became apparent we were in the equivalent of a "power" outage, because less-and-less work was getting done, and more-and-more slackery took hold of everyone.
And that was just the first 20 minutes....
After a couple hours, people were actually bailing for home, because the connectivity was so crucial to their very work-existence.
It really did feel like a major power outage. My computer felt totally useless without Google to exchange packets with. Sure, I could run all my local applications, but they had no one to "talk" to. What good is email or an RSS reader without remote hosts? Being "offline" with these applications, and The Browser Itself, is like not even having a computer!
