writing a cycle stealing Internet java app...
And remember, you can do that simply by putting your applet in an HTML document and then spam-mailing the document with appropriate MIME header information to zillions of people. Everybody who's reading mail with Netscape (and maybe IE) will see your little HTML document (which needn't be anything special), and your applet will be able to fire up and start stealing cycles. In fact, it'd be cool to set up a mail sender that would construct such a page automatically with each outgoing mail message. That way, ordinary postings to mailing lists would go out with that spiffy HTML look, and you'd get all those CPU cycles without angering the community (much). -- ______c_________________________________________________________________ Mike M Nally * IBM % Tivoli * Austin TX * How quickly we forget that mailto:m5@tivoli.com mailto:m101@io.com * "deer processing" and "data http://www.io.com/~m101/ * processing" are different!
