Do you know if the Javastation can utilize a hard disk for caching and virtual memory? Is this in the works for NC's? What about upgrading system code if you choose to boot locally via flash prom. Can the flash prom be protected from deliberate erasing by malicious code? What about protection of programmers work. I read somewhere that the bytecode can be reversed back to its original source code. I guess there are obfuscators but I was told they can be easily defeated. Is this a problem for Java programmers?
