Install a Java plugin? What kind of piece of shit of an OS are you using?

There isn't a single browser out there that will execute Java applets without a Java plugin.

But if you need to ``install a Java plugin'', there's something wrong with your OS.

Because a real OS doesn't bother with trivial crap like installing stuff that is needed by a vast majority of its users at some point, anyway.

I bet you use Windows.
You bet wrong. Last time I saw a Windows machine, it needed a huge JRE install to get any kind of Java functionality.

Right. Because having some marketing drone somewhere determine what software I need is much better than letting me decide for myself.
Some of us prefer a clean system.

I hate java. It updates itself and never cleans the old version, so you could have 5-6 different versions of it taking nearly 1 GB of space when just taking the latest one is 100-200 MBs. I uninstalled all the old shit and it works just fine.

I hate JAVA, and I hate ENTERPRISE turkey software.

The noun form of ``use'' is ``usage''. ``Utilisation'' is from ``utilise''.

The first two of those posts are me, and I'm 22. I'm also not particularly angry, just surprised that I'd have to explain myself here of all places.

taking up too much space
A hundred megabytes out of the 100+ GB? Terrible.

and lagging my system
I don't know what you're using, but Java sure as hell doesn't lag my system when I'm not using it.

for no discernible benefit.
Like being able to use Java programs? I don't like Java either, but in the real world most people are going to eventually come across something written in Java that they simply need to run to get real stuff done, no matter how strange this may seem from your personal ivory tower.

I'm 22
Being an angry teenager doesn't have anything to do with your age. Some of the worst angry teenagers I know are well past 20.

Yeah, I know that. I used to be into that kind of asshattery myself ten years ago (using a minimal Slackware install to make sure that there isn't a single unused program bloating my system and other kinds of silly timewasting).

Why was Xenogears popular in 2005? Did /prog/ have some sort of early obsession with it (which would be understandable) or were there few enough posts that a single thread on Xenogears was able to impact the wordcount?
