Falun Dafa
I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. There are a lot of rumours flying around (and most of them come from the Chinese government) that Falun Dafa is a bad cult. Not true at all, I would say. Falun Dafa is a set of 5 gentle exercises that I have personally found to be very invigorating and refreshing. What's more, it promotes not only cultivation of body, but also that of mind. It emphasizes Truthfulness, Benevolence, Compassion. How could such a righteous cultivation method be wrong? |
Sun Microsystems, Java's Creator and Guardian, first released Java 1.0 in 1995. Browser developers were quick to provide support for this version. The following browsers support Java ( the 1.0 version, note! ):
We all know that there is no such thing as a perfect product. Sun found problems such as poor performance in Java 1.0. So they tuned up Java and released a brand new version - 1.1 - in 1997. Unfortunately, key changes were made in how events were handled, that is how the Java applet responded to user interaction. Hence, applets written in Java 1.1 cannot run on earlier browsers. The following browsers support Java 1.1:
Netscape Communicator versions prior to 4.5 ( i.e., 4.0 to 4.0.7 ) have partial support for Java 1.1. To enable full support, you will need to download the required patch at Netscape's site.
Sun has recently released the Java 2 platform that differs remarkably from the Java 1.1 platform. ( Note that Java 2 and Java 1.2 are the same. The name Java 2 is only a marketing stratergy by Sun ). That means that unfortunately, Java 1.2 applets will not run under any of the above mentioned browsers! Only Sun's very own Hotjava browser currently supports the 1.2 platform.
However, there's hope. Sun announced the availability of the Java Plug-In ( previusly codenamed Activator ) that runs all applets on its own, independent of the browser. That means you just install the latest plug-in, and hey-presto!!!, your browser is Java 1 dot whatever compatible!!! That should bring an end to browser upgrades ( or is it headaches??? ).
