[f-nsp] Java on brocade.com web site

[Nick Hilliard]

Is there anyone from Brocade could pass a note on to the brocade.com web
development team that requiring client side java support is completely broken?

It's broken because:

- it is beyond infuriating to be forced to click "cancel" on every single
brocade.com product web page.

- last time client-side java was considered to be good webdev practice was
in 1997, when we were all using "under construction" signs

- it looks awful on many platforms, even when it's running as designed

- no-one with any sense will run an unsigned java application coming from
anywhere on the internet

- no-one on the brocade webdev team bothered to test this on a slow
computer with not quite enough RAM with a high latency link to the internet

- it looks really unprofessional to have an enormous sign pop up on every
brocade.com web page saying:

--
Running unsigned applications like this will be blocked in a future release
because it is potentially unsafe and a security risk.
--

- if a customer needs a 360 degree view of a product, please put that on a
different link, or use a different technology.
