Java Is Everywhere

Quote:This can be done with PHP as well. Like I said, it's just a tool, nothing more, nothing less.

This is true, the use of JavaScript for statistic monitoring of websites are often used by those who go through a third party, due to not having SSI capabilities to use PHP or they don't have the knowledge to obtain information through the language.

Java is indeed a useful tool for many on the Internet, some people see it as a big security risk as it obtains information that may make them a target for exploitation. This is mostly based on statistic monitoring, other uses of Java may have little or no security risk at all.

Honestly I found progamming in Java to be very boring, maybe I refused to adjust myself to the language, but I just found it horrible compared to programming languages that, in my opinion, seem to be far superior.

On a side note, I once remember a friend asking me a question back in 2004, wondering why the light on his webcam turns on when he visits certain website's. He asked if he should be worried about it and I sadly said no as I wasn't aware of flash/shockwave applications having access to the microphone and webcam at the time. These features were designed to bring interaction to the application without the use of the mouse, but there is too many 'badies' on the Internet that can use it for much more.
