  1. Strong Bad disagrees by Richard+Mills · · Score: 1 · on Flash Applications That Can Be Used Online and Off

    I think Strong Bad and company over at www.homestarrunner.com would disagree with you. Yeah, flash gets abused horribly but in the hands of creative people some great stuff can be done with it.

  2. Flash Already offline capable -- MORE by DonkeyJimmy · · Score: 1 · on Flash Applications That Can Be Used Online and Off

    Oh I forgot to mention, once you have the .swf file on your computer, you have more control over it. You can resize it, use the playback commands, change the quality, and whatever else flash normally allows of you. It's a lot better then the reduced command set you have on some sites. Full screen trogdor is even better =).

    I hear that Trogdor was a close second. Personally, I think he would have been a much greater asset to Apple what with the success of his recent video game and his abilitiy to burninate the competition. He probably would have also allowed Apple to add his trademark "majesty" around their apple logo... and that would've just looked cool.

  9. Why people are opposed to Flash by roesti · · Score: 1 · on Opencroquet
    why are people so opposed to Flash on the net?

    Put simply, it's because Flash makes Web sites harder to use. For most sites, it's superfluous, over-complicated and annoying. Furthermore, because Flash breaks a lot of Web conventions (Back, font sizes, accessibility), it's unintuitive.

    While I still agree that advertising is the worst thing about Flash - just ahead of the Macromedia site so longer working in Opera - I generally hate sites that use Flash at all, because things just take so much longer. Of course, there are a few shining examples.

  10. Re:Servers by madgeorge · · Score: 1 · on 100mbps Fiber Service To Your Door
    Err... ok I misread the parent post. I read it from the perspective of someone hosting a server on the fiber network. You can do that (with their business acct), and take advantage of 100 Mbps from your server pretty easily. But you'll probably end up paying a ton of overage at the end of the month if your site turns out to be the next Onion, Homestar Runner, or Slashdot.

  33. Re:It may not be there... by llamaluvr · · Score: 1 · on Christmas in 2050

    What's really sad is that the reason we celebrate Christmas is lost even on many churchgoers. When I went to church with my family this Christmas Eve, half the congregation left right after communion, before the service was over. Rightfully so, I'm sure many of them will tell you, since it's the 'busiest time of the year'. A message of the true purpose of Christmas must permeate the churches and their attendees before our society as a whole might actually understand that Christmas was originally intended to be something more than time for gifts and beer.

    I sometimes wonder why our society hasn't adopted December 25 as a non-religiously affiliated holiday intended for gift-giving. I fear that it will probably happen. Perhaps they'll call it Decemberween.

    I know this is horribly off-topic, but I just wanted to say that it's possibly to have both Homestar Runner and no flash ads. Just delete the flash plug-in from Mozilla (if you even bothered to install it), then use IE to load those few good web sites (ie, Homestar Runner and... uhhh...) that use Flash. Or, if you don't want to use IE, simply keep a backup copy of Mozilla around that has Flash enabled (install it in your home directory).
