         I'm curious as to the groups opinion on Java, JavaScript, ActiveX ,
         or more generally - mobile code secuirty technologies.

I trust ActiveX least of all, then Javascript.  Java at least tried to
address the problem.  I don't think it did -- or can -- succeed, but it's
a decent attempt.  And, if it had been done right, it probably could
have succeeded.
