#30951 — What happened to comp.lang.java.gui?

Is it just my newsreader or are there actually no posts in that group now? 
Not even the older ones?

I see some old ones.  Probably your news server?

It's been moved to comp.lang.java.nostalgia.glorydays

Anyone who gives a crap can crack a beer and talk about how Spring, 
JavaFX, and ORM Frameworks rock!

PS. When posting you are asked not to discuss the outside world.

LOL.  Nobody could really mess up a GUI like Sun.  Anyone who created 
commercial products using AWT and Swing is feeling a bit of PTSD reading 
this.  Now Java is owned by Oracle, whose business model is to make 
products so complicated that you must buy Oracle support.

I will not see posts from astraweb, theremailer, dizum, or google
because they host Usenet flooders.

How are those applets of yours coming along Richard?

P.S. When posting you are asked not to be an obnoxious tool.

Doing very well despite Oracle thank-you.

But your smirking highlights one of the greatest mistakes the Java 
community ever made and that is to give up Java's ubiquity on the 
client. How proud you must be :-(

Java still has so much to offer any hosted Web App yet no one cares to 
leverage the functionality only Java can provide.

Am I correct in thinking it is the only smartphone/browser with Java 
plugin support?

Charming. Well that was worth waiting a week for. No quite scintillating 
repartee but at least you let everyone know you're still there.

Stop grave-dodging and just bugger off!

Does it actually support Java and Java applets?

I know that Ubuntu/x86 does but does Ubuntu/ARM?

To be honest not sure. When the original crowd-funding was up I remember 
being all excited about the prospect, and being able to google more details.

This early version looks to be a bit trimmed down so not sure.

Please buy one and let me know :-)

You know the most amusing part of your reply was to hijack the name of the 
thread to a device which has even less potential not to die a slow and 
painful death than the out-dated, completely useless, annoying, slow and now 
almost completely unsupported technology that your "genius" brain is telling 
you to cling on to you.  Well, good luck with that...

Can you please highlight my smirking?  It was a perfectly innocent question 
and I was actually quite hoping you would answer without the usual insults 
and guff that come back with but clearly I had let my guard down a bit 
there.  But again, please highlight the smirking.

> Java still has so much to offer any hosted Web App yet no one cares to

Well that is utter bullshit on 2 levels.  The first claim is patently 
ridiculous and has been for at least 5-10 years and there is at least one 
idiot left who "cares to leverage" that imagined "functionality that only 
Java can provide" and we all know who that is.

> Am I correct in thinking it is the only smartphone/browser with Java 
> plugin support?

Well, you are wrong about most things but let's just say that this is the 
first time you actually got something right, shouldn't that be telling you 
something?  Like WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE JAVA 
PLUGIN?  STILL???

>> PS. When posting you are asked not to discuss the outside world.

By you?  Are you the moderator now?  I am sure in your "mind" you think you 
are.

Well this is one of the things that people do ask posters not to do: be an 
obnoxious tool.  You must have missed that part at moderator school.  And 
yes, I am still "there" (or here) but only to amuse myself every time you 
make a post where you are *still* trying to get applets to work and 
complaining that they only don't work because the entire world is against 
you.  It's really quite entertaining stuff although rather sad and pathetic 
at the same time.

> Stop grave-dodging and just bugger off!

Ah, now I know for sure it's the "real" Richard and not just an imposter.
