Huh? The movie "The Recruit" is awesome. [graham glass: what's next?] Dear Graham.  You are a badass coder but a highly questionable movie reviewer.  Awesome?  Did we see the same movie?  Maybe I just don't like Colin Farrell all that much.  I liked even the cheesy Spy Game considerably more.  I fell asleep during Solaris.  Of course I was pretty tired.  I can't believe I liked How to lose a guy in 10 days.  It's exactly the kind of movie that I don't like (I like "serious" films).  But I couldn't stop laughing.  Plus I had the secondary screen of my friend Christina's face, watching her laugh her ass off!  I did see a few guilty looks on the faces of women in the theater...hah! 9:32:28 AM

Power. PermissionGrabber. Yesterday I vowed to turn on SecurityManager all the time, and figure out the necessary policy files for Java applications that I use. Ross mused that it would be cool if the Java runtime provided a flag to generate this information automatically. What a great idea! And, who needs help from the runtime? PermissionGrabber is a simple Java app that will execute some other Java app, figure out what permissions it needs to run, and generate an appropriate policy file. All you have to do is java PermissionGrabber SomeApp I just threw this together and can think of a few dozen little enhancements already. Let me know if this is cool and what you would like to see added. [Ockham's Flashlight] My power is growing exponentially.  Muahaha.  Cool trick!  And a major step in the right direction for permission policy files! 2:05:55 AM
