Oh now I remember this is A grade Javscript shit courtesy of Oracle :-(

      //support native DT plugin?
     allowPlugin: function() {
         this.getBrowser();

         // Safari and Opera browsers find the plugin but it
         // doesn't work, so until we can get it to work - don't use it.
         var ret = ('Safari' != this.browserName2 &&
             'Opera' != this.browserName2);

         return ret;
     },

AND

     getBrowser: function() {

         if (this.browserName == null) {
             var browser = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();

             log('[getBrowser()] navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase() -> ' 
+ browser);


             // order is important here.  Safari userAgent contains mozilla,
             // and Chrome userAgent contains both mozilla and safari.
             if ((browser.indexOf('msie') != -1) && 
(browser.indexOf('opera') == -1)) {
                 this.browserName = 'MSIE';
                 this.browserName2 = 'MSIE';
             } else if (browser.indexOf('iphone') != -1) {
                 // this included both iPhone and iPad
                 this.browserName = 'Netscape Family';
                 this.browserName2 = 'iPhone';
             } else if ((browser.indexOf('firefox') != -1) &&

                 this.browserName = 'Netscape Family';
                 this.browserName2 = 'Firefox';
             } else if (browser.indexOf('chrome') != -1) {

                 this.browserName2 = 'unknown';
             }

             log('[getBrowser()] Detected browser name:'+ this.browserName +
                        ', ' + this.browserName2);
         }
         return this.browserName;
     },


Yeah skip off to JavaOne and get your jollies on lambdas while your 
company pays for your legacy skills.


But where oh where is that street fighting Jew that landed on Ellis 
island and laid waste to DEC and HP? For fuck sake Larry please throw us 
a bone???
