I am writing a Java applet, and would like to know the best way to include it in a web page.
I'd like it to prompt the user to install JRE if she hasn't it already. This feature should (ideally) work cross-browser on any OS Java runs on. Another requirement...

Even Sun recommends using the applet tag except on Intranets unless you are on an intranet .
As Alex B comments, most browsers will prompt the user to install at that point if they don't have the JRE .
I would recommend just using the applet tag.

I graduated about 4 months ago and simply have not worked. I have had a few family problems which have kept me from applying for work. How does this look for potential employers? I have tried to keep my skills up with various projects.

Well I'm in college still so you don't have to take my opinion on this matter but I would think that IF an employer ask (and I stress that "if") why you didn't get a job right after school (which seems weird to me), you should just explain that you had... .

With all the new "modern" languages out today, how is it that C is still heralded as the fastest and "closest to the machine"? I don't really believe in there ever being only one correct way to do things, and C has been around for a really long time (...

The heavyweight numeric libraries at the base of things like Matlab and Numpy are still written in Fortran .
Fortran is faster than C for numerical tasks because of the way it handles memory references (C pointers are more difficult to optimize) .

Sometimes I agree, sometimes I disagree with their new view.. .
I guess they figured that using the maintenance cost for new development was a better investment .
