I thought java wouldn't allow that? The browser certainly shouldn't allow a
plug in to see anything outside the browser, in other words 'screenshots'
should at most be browser window snapshots. Allowing anything beyond that is
a *major* security hole as far as I'm concerned. Same with allowing browser
stuff to read from the mic, which flash now allows. Holy Eavesdropping
Batman!

No java on my box. I've only recently installed flash and only in one place
and only for the RUSH website. The flash they have adds absolutely no
functionality, but the site doesn't work without it :(.

ciao,
