I would assume that XFree or your Window Manager would need to be modified to get this to work. This would work out very well with the Z ordering of nested windows. At last we will have a Free Java Virtual Machine free from SUN Microsystem's totalitarian control. One good comment is his Intuitive Linear View vs. Historic Exponential View theory. Basically that humans view technological progress linearly when it is actually exponential.
Evolution is still alive and kicking.
Genetic evolution via natural selection became too slow and yielded to Memetic evolution directed by humans. Each case can not be measured by science. A civilization that destroys itself, after millions of years, would leave no trace. In the latter case, a significantly advanced civilization would probably not be observable by our crude technology. Looks like Nokia is really trying to push an Open console.
