- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Thing is, Java is enabled on my computer(s) but disabled in all of my browsers - that's been the setup for many months now.
I liked the promise of Java, once upon a time. But, in practice, it's fallen terribly short of the mark in so many ways. It does have some utility in certain server environments, though.

I also coded on them with Intellij Idea, which is written in Java and lightning fast for what it achieves.
I can only conclude that the Java apps you have seen must be inferior, or just Eclipse.

If someone wanted to pwn me, they would not need Java to do it. Good user practices (stay off of warez and redtube) make me safer than disabling Java.
