John Gave gave an interesting pitch for Java at the CSSI Computer
Security Day sessions in Cl;evelan yesterday (November 30). Among
his comments were:
Java is not secure - it is "safe"
He (John Gage) regularly downloads binary executables from the
Internet and runs them on his workstation at Sun - (connected to
the internal Sun network).
Sun has terrible physical security - unknown people roam the halls
at night all by themselves.
In 2 years, you will be able to buy a computer that does more than
a Sparc now does, in a portable package the size of a cell
phone, with more than 30 million bits per second of mobile
bandwidth direct to the Internet, for less than $30.
