Is this legal? (Day Three)

Today is 2009年2月3日(火) [3 Feb 2009].

There isn’t really much to update, but because I know I’ll be getting questions, I might as well update people.

My mother told me yesterday that the school said I would be slated for ISS today; so with her blessing, I stayed home, slept a little more, and worked on my class work.

The school still has possession of my laptop, cell phone, and SD cards.  I really have no clue what’s taking them so long, or why they haven’t given them back after my mother explicitly said she didn’t want them searched, looked at, etc.  I’m pretty sure this too is some violation of the law.

I have an appointment with a lawyer tomorrow.  I have no clue how this will play out.

Java for Chrome

So, most of my readers should know about the laptop story now.  I’ve been using Google Chrome on this old Windows 7 computer (since it doesn’t take a lot of processor or RAM) and telling Chrome to Yes, install the missing plugin, I was brought to a Java Download page.

I clicked to install it, and Java gave me this interesting “Java for Chrome” page, quoted below:

Google Chrome requires Java 6 Update 10 or greater (Java 6u10+), as indicated in the Google Chrome Help Center. The Chrome browser is new and not officially supported by Sun for Java 6. However, you may be able to use Chrome with Java 6u10 at your own risk. Sun will continue monitoring the acceptance of Chrome in the marketplace.

Sun will continue monitoring the acceptance of Chrome in the marketplace?  That sounds funny to me,m and not funny ha-ha, funny “Wow, okay big brother.”

I think if there are enough chrome users that you needed to make that page, there are enough that you should officially support it.
