Java''s been doing that for years dude
But, java can''t be compiled to native code then. Therefore making it slower than C#. And if you do compile it, then it''s not cross platform anymore.

My left eye in the second frame is smaller than the right (I must be a freak or something
). Btw, what''s a palladium? All I got was this:
palladium n : a sliver-white metallic element of the platinum group that resembles platinum; occurs in some copper and nickel ores; does not tarnish at ordinary temperatures and is used (alloyed with gold) in jewelry [syn: Pd, atomic number 46]Source: Webster''s Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)Palladium \Pal*la"di*um\, n. [L., fr. Gr. ?, fr. ?, ?, Pallas.] 1. (Gr. Antiq.) Any statue of the goddess Pallas; esp., the famous statue on the preservation of which depended the safety of ancient Troy. 2. Hence: That which affords effectual protection or security; a sateguard; as, the trial by jury is the palladium of our civil rights. --Blackstone.Palladium \Pal*la"di*um\, n. [NL.] (Chem.) A rare metallic element of the light platinum group, found native, and also alloyed with platinum and gold. It is a silver-white metal resembling platinum, and like it permanent and untarnished in the air, but is more easily fusible. It is unique in its power of occluding hydrogen, which it does to the extent of nearly a thousand volumes, forming the alloy Pd2H. It is used for graduated circles and verniers, for plating certain silver goods, and somewhat in dentistry. It was so named in 1804 by Wollaston from the asteroid Pallas, which was discovered in 1802. Symbol Pd. Atomic weight, 106.2.Source: Elements database 20001107palladiumSymbol: PdAtomic number: 46Atomic weight: 106.4Soft white ductile transition element. Found with some copper and nickelores. Does not react with oxygen at normal temperatures. Dissolves slowlyin hydrochloric acid. Discovered in 1803 by W.H. Wollaston.
I could''ve sworn I''ve heard that word before.
