Back when Java applets first came out, and ActiveX, everyone mocked ActiveX 
because it allowed unsafe code to run as long as the developer had signed 
the ActiveX package so you could track it back to him.

Now, 15 years later, Java gives in and does the same thing, because people 
really do want to run unsafe code sometimes.  (Altho what's unsafe about 
OpenGL I can't guess. :-)
