I am sorry to burst the bubble that was perpetrated by Sun
Microsystems. I worked at Sun Microsystems as a contractor and talked
to a very senior developer at Menlo Park. I knew this developer from
working with him in a previous company. Under my oath never to reveal
his name, he clued me in that the fictitious "sandbox" was the entire
system.
I'd go along with that, I never believed the sandbox thing. After all,
you can upload any file of your choosing through a Java thing in a
website, and it could save a file to anywhere you selected. That's
hardly sandboxed.
And, if you went through the Java preferences, on those browsers that
gave you an extensive interface. You could select all sorts of breakout
allowances, many of which were preset to allowed.

no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages
posted to the mailing list.
Next time your service provider asks you to reboot your equipment, ask
them to reboot theirs, first.
