Sun Java versus Microsoft Java

For those who do not know whether they use Sun Java or Microsoft Java:
If you see a coffee cup-like image on the bottom of the screen or elsewhere when you are playing or entering the room, then you must have Sun Java.
Sun Java is updated very often, sometimes weekly. It is still, in general, slower and less stable than Microsoft Java.
(If you are technically inclined: the thread management functionality in Sun Java is less robust than in Microsoft Java which makes Sun Java a far less desirable choice for games for now.)
If you are using Internet Explorer, both Sun java and Microsoft Java can reside on the same computer without creating a conflict.
With Internet Explorer, you can easily switch between Sun Java and Microsoft Java.
The full procedure of installing Sun Java or recommended Microsoft Java is described at: HERE

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
