I installed Limewire last night.

[DS1]

And it was uninstalled within 10 minutes.

It proudly states that no 3rd party will be installed with it,

EXCEPT FUCKING JAVA!!!!!!!!!!!!! :argh: :argh:

Java sucks and blows at the same time. And it made my fonts all blurry. It was gone before Limewire. JAVA will NEVER be on my computer. It's a resource pig, gets its shitty little hooks all over your pc, is slow, crashes a lot, brings web pages to their knees, and so on and so forth.

" Guaranteed clean install with no bundled software" BULL FUCKING SHIT!

1. it's not bundled with Java

it's written in it.

[DS1]

2. Java wasn't on my machine before I installed it

[BigMcLargehuge]

4. Java is also part of MS Windows

at least the Runtime Environment, so you can view web pages that have java content... It's also part of every major web browser. So to say it's not on your computer is incorrect. It's there as part of your operating system and browser.

[DS1]

5. I'm pretty sure I've ripped it all out

if not, I'll go back and try again.

[BigMcLargehuge]

9. if you did your operating system would not work

nor would your browser. But good luck with that, really.

[DS1]

10. I'll let you know

firefox seems to work fine without java installed. it keeps asking to put the plugins in, but i won't let it.

14. Actually, with XP, it is possible that no JVM is installed

Depends upon when you got your machine and when you patched.

I had to install the JVM on my own computer to do a few things. Don't know if I had the old MS JVM or not but I don't think I did as it was a recent SP2 included install.

[DS1]

19. Heh, I built my computer 18 days ago, and installed directly to SP2

Amazing, sometimes when I know what I'm talking about, I actually DO :crazy:

[TK421]

3. I tried Limewire, too.....I agree, it does blow

[wakeme2008]

6. I love Limewire

but the newer version suck

[DS1]

7. There isn't any music worth having my fonts all blurry

system wide. Besides, I've become so used to internet radio, I'll probably only buy about one new CD a year these days.

[wakeme2008]

8. I LOVE JAVA

[DS1]

11. it's great for server-side programming

but should never, ever be used for front end apps/gui use.

[no name no slogan]

12. But, I WANT my GUIs slow, ugly and crash-prone

It's much easier to do them that way in Java than it is in, say, C++.

[Kellanved]

18. It is great for programming - period.

It simply is the best system do develop and distribute portable code without need for expensive tools.

And it works great for frond-end/client use.

[Az]

13. EMule baby!

The way to go.

[GirlinContempt]

15. wtf is limewire?

:P

[Az]

16. P2P software

Peer to Peer. Used to find mp3 files and other things.

[GirlinContempt]

17. Bleh

BT, Slsk and Shareaza... all you should ever need

[hyphenate]

20. I don't like Shareaza

It slows my machine down to almost nothing. I've gone back to Kazaalite +++.

[GirlinContempt]

21. I'm not a big fan of Shareaza either

but I hate kazaalite, and I can find a few things on Shareaza that I can't find other places.
BT is the best, and for single files Slsk rules

[miss_kitty]

22. I don't do P2P stuff

caused me too much work and heartache in the beginning of my computer days.

But I do have java through Firefox. what sucks and/or blows about it? (Serious n00b question).

[kick-ass-bob]

23. I'm turning all of you in for piracy.
