Your words bring me shame :'(
Awww. Thank you. Feel free to shout some more. At Xen.
Desktop/GUI Java is pants, and deserves the hatred.
Server-based Java is actually capable of being very fast and good and stuff, but it does rely on the developers knowing what they're doing, and can require appropriate tuning to get the best out of it.
People use it because it came along and attracted people away from C++ and then nothing else has come along to replace it, except for C#.NET which is Microsoft.
(Java the language is a horrible over-engineered pile of shite, which is why there are so many alernative languages popping up which use the Java platform, but don't require using the horrible Java syntax.)
How easy is it to connect your machine direcly (bypassing the router) and seeing what happens then?
And tell Virgin to hurry up! :@
Fairly easy, but then I wouldn't be able to play minecraft :(
Did you do that memory thing Pete said?
I had already done that (only i gave it EVEN MOARRR then pete suggested) - The server tells you to do it if you don't do it (message thing comes up saying "NOT ENOUG RAMOMG!! DO THIS [command] TO MAKE ME HAPPY")
I meant just as a test to see if it lets 3+ people on it.
If it does, it's the router, otherwise it's something else.
Also, you can connect to your own server - you just can't connect more than one client from the same IP.
