Leopard isn't a real 64bit OS. The kernel operates in hybrid with a mix of 32bit and 64bit. When having 64bit hardware, the 32bit kernel just goes into a long mode compatibility mode.
Then why wouldn't Java work? On Windows systems, you solve this simply by installing a 32-bit flavour of Java along with a 32-bit browser and everything works. How have Apple managed to make this construction not work?
Heh, the wonderfull world of Apple They've released a 64bit only version of Java6 which can't work with a 32bit browser. Apple tells you that if you want to use Java 6 in a browser, you need a 64bit browser, which of course isn't available for OS X...
psh! EVERYONE knows about safari 4 (mac and windows) which is 64 bit. i think there is a developer preview from august 22nd and one from june.
It's not 64 bit. For example, the latest development release, version 4.0 (5528.1) doesn't even have the 32bit and 64bit switch anymore. They seemed to remove it and it's 32bit only again...
why would they remove this switch... i highly doubt it will be 32 bit in 10.6 which is about 6 months away. they have to be aware of the java 6 issue too.
It indeed won't be 32bit. In the latest build of Snow Leopard, Java SE 6 is used for all Java applications and applets, including the in Safari 4 (which is also 64 bit) But a standalone version of Blockbox will be out before that time, as it's more convenient if you want to play a game.
Oh boo hoo. Somebody call the waaaaambulance. Use another browser for pete's sake. This game's awesome.
As far as I know, deniax is back in action. I randomly play whenever I get the urge. 3 in the morning PST? No problem.
Me? Oh I'm not really anybody yet. I've only got 3 years behind me. And rest assured, Dont_Blink kicks my ass badly.
