Maybe I'm horribly stupid, but this kind of shit makes me hate java with
a passion.

That, and your HotEqn stuff doesn't work either.

I've reinstalled java 1000 times and occasionally I can get something to

    "It is almost universally felt that when we call a country
    democratic we are praising it; consequently, the defenders of every
    kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they
    might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one
    meaning." -- George Orwell
