Quote: "Chrome Remote Desktop is fully cross-platform. Provide remote assistance to Windows, Mac and Linux users, or access your Windows (XP and above) and Mac (OS X 10.6 and above) desktops at any time, all from the Chrome browser on virtually any device, including Chromebooks."

So it sounds like it's supposed to work.

Submission + - How amateurs destroyed the professional music business (rocknerd.co.uk)

David Gerard writes: Here in the future, musicians and record companies complain they can't make a living any more. The problem isn’t piracy — it’s competition. There is too much music and too many musicians, and the amateurs are often good enough for the public. This is healthy for culture, not so much for aesthetics, and terrible for musicians.

Why doesn't java use the operating system to provide that information in the first place?

Same reason they don't use the operating system to provide locale information. It's easier to do the lazy thing and implement your own locale system than work out how to interface to the POSIX one.

Same reason Python used to do the same. (I think Python may now use the OS locale, though.)

This is a strong overstatement, if M$ never released another version of windows you would still find windows being installed on new machine 30 years from now.

I don't know about that. In the 1970s, CP/M was as dominant as Windows was in the 1990s. When's the last time you saw CP/M being installed on a new machine?
