It is only when you involve government that there can be conflicts. It is only with government control that you can get into pointless 'rental' disputes about how you never actually owned the things you paid for.

I think you mean to use the word people instead of government. Otherwise you're just coming off as anti-government.

Good isn't using the J2ME

They are using Apaches harmony along with some android libraries which gets compiled to a Java .class file then recompiled to a the dalvik vm

Oracle is counting on people getting confused about the issue and using some vague VM patents to get their way. The patents in question could apply to any virtual machine. Such as the .Net platform

The reason for suing Google is Google is using the Java language but not the Java virtual machine. Since people see Java they are confusing the issue and thinking that Android is a Java vm when it's not. Oracle doesn't like that Google is getting the Java language for free and wants a piece of the action.

I had a similar thing happen to me. Browsers really could use better plugin controls I should be able to disable any plugin without having to uninstall it.. Why does someone need to view a pdf in a browser anyways?

I am on a netbook so I am back on linux. (didn't come with a windows cd)

A worm can move through a pdf file quick.
