I Know Barack Obama is Very Exciting...

...But there is something else equally as amazing and exciting as the first black president going on right now.
Using Java, I wrote a program, from scratch, that solves sudoku puzzles. Then using awt, I turned it into an applet with a graphical interface (layman terms: i made so a normal person can use it over the internet). It is now published. in beta form.
So just head on over to www.cs.lmu.edu/~jbillingsley (http://cs.lmu.edu/~jbillingsley) an use it. I recommed you use either Safari or Internet Explorer. Opera, Google Chrome and Firefox don't work with applets in a way I like.
Make sure you enter a valid sudoku. If you enter one that is invalid (for instance two equal numbers in the same box) , it will hog your memory for a few minutes. I'm working on that.

I have a slight feeling that this is in the wrong section. :p

I agree.;)

The only correlation between Sudoku and Obama is that it puzzles me how people are so hung up on the color of his skin.

No, no. This will be the tool that Hillary uses to seek super diplomacy with rouge and non-rouge nations. Solving puzzles faster will greatly enhance the power of the US state department.

Actually I do recommend Google Chrome.
If the program causes your browser to crash, then the entire browser crashes, when you use things like Safari or IE.
In Google Chrome, if it crashes, only that page crashes, every other tab/window is untouched.
