Hi tekkies,
Anyone know where the toolbars gone this morning?

[Deano]

Can I ditto Puff's enquiry ? My toolbar's vanished too.

Unlike Oscar Pistorius..it's done a runner!

Hehe. It's some breakage in the javascript, to do with 'sharing' i.e. Facebook/google/twitter etc. Very very bad design imo....off to turn it all off.

Isn't Java just mostly broken? (Speaking as someone who used to work at Oracle)

Javascript is not Java. Javascript is a browser-based scripting language developed by Netscape. Java is a proper OO language developed by Sun.

And when people talk about Java 'being broken', they're talking about security in the plug-in that allows Java on web pages. Java on servers etc, is still the most dominant language.


Anyway, all fixed now!

All now seems resolved - WELL DONE THE GEEKS (or is it the Greeks ?)

I know... Was being a little sarcastic as I'm a still a bit annoyed about Oracle not hiring me (was an intern for 2 years and tried to get hired full time). Was in a sales ops role, so none technical, but I picked up little bits here and there.

Their loss mate, I'm a Java dev by trade so get a little defensive when people mix it up with Javascript (or pretend to, in your case!)

Haha no worries. I've gotten in at Dell (start Monday), so I'm back where I want to be. As you say, Oracles loss.
