On Saturday, Dutch public broadcaster NOS broadcast a story on the chip industry in Taiwan, reporting that “the country sees it as life insurance against an invasion by rival China” and interviewing former Taiwanese deputy minister of foreign affairs Roy Chun Lee.

China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory and has never renounced the use of force to bring it under control. Taiwan objects to China’s sovereignty claims and says only the island’s people can decide their future.

        Good idea, but it doesn’t work right now. I get a java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException. Maybe it’s just temporary.

        Presenting the internal error message to the user instead of a meaningful error message (what was tried? What happened? What can be done about it? )… some would say it’s bad style.

        Edit: ah. There it is. It works now.

          Sometimes when running Java software I wonder if Java developers think a certain number of backtraces per hour in the logfile is required for the software to keep running.
