Not without problems, since now I no longer possible to insert images in this post. I will look into the matter when I have a moment of time, but the fact that every WordPress upgrade introduces new problems - nine cast on ten due to the lack of true interoperability with plugins - really annoys me. For the time being there all right. Of course, certain things with Drupal does not ever happen to me ...

Update, I am finally able to solve the problem. Certainly the team Automattic disappointed me a bit ', at least in this circumstance. Okay so let's see.

Sun has finally decided to open all the code Java , absolutely everything, even those portions which he held until last completely inaccessible to the community. The open source version of Java development framework called OpenJDK and its use will be completely regulated by the GPL .

At the time of writing still remain largely outside of libraries for encryption, graphics, audio and managing SNMP . It is not a trivial matter, but the team at Sun is working to complete the work. The main consequence will be the release of Java for all GNU / Linux, now opposed because of the previous license of the Java Community Process, which is incompatible with the GPL.

The goals of the Sun are the same as all the major software houses that have recently converted to the open philosophy: to capture the largest possible number of open source developers, thus counteracting the advance of other languages ​​runtime. A battle that is certainly well to the community and the philosophy that governs it.
