    Stupid comment, get an education. If you want to create your own Flash player you can do that. It is OPEN. Stop drinking the Apple Kool Aid without question.

    There are also dozens of tools that create Flash apps so you are not restricted to Adobe's tools either.

  2. Re:Also of interest by Wdomburg · · Score: 4, Informative · on Flash EULA Doesn't Fit the Times

    There are at least two free software implementations of flash, one LGPL (http://www.schleef.org/swfdec/) and one GPL (http://swift-tools.net/Flash/).

    Great, I never wanted to install Flash, and finally that's just what is required by the EULA.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but there is open source Flash player :grin:

    But if you are using Firefox, you should use GPL Flash, which does not open popup windows! (But then again, I think everyone should be running FreeBSD too!)

  6. GNUstep demo by roard · · Score: 5, Informative · on Steve Jobs Demos NeXTSTEP 3.0

    For thoses who want to see how programming is done in GNUstep, there's this short flash demo here

    GNUstep is a free software implementation of the OpenStep API (like Cocoa), and it provides development tools as well. The demo steve do is doable in GNUstep as well..

    (Yes, it's flash... a mpeg version will probably be available next week... in the meantime, it's a good idea to check either swift tools or swfdec , if you don't want or can't use the Macromedia Flash player..)

    This means that virtually any Un*xlike operating system, running on virtually any CPU, can now play Flash-- right?

    The GPL'd flash player has been around for quite some time.

    "I hope an opensource alternative overtakes the market and burry's you deep."

    If you'd like that to come true, you might think about donating (money or time) to this guy.

    You could try making a donation to this guy. Either of money or time, I'm sure he'd appreciate either.

    I point this out because if there was a useful open-source alternative, we wouldn't be complaining about Macromedia's plugin like we are now.

  14. Re:I respectfully disagree by lambent · · Score: 1 · on Webby Award 2004 Winners Announced

    The most common symptoms i've experience with bad flash portability is with a/v syncing, sprite jerkiness, random implosions, and incorrectly [un]detected events. This has been true on any version of flash on any distro i've tried in the last 4 years ... very disheartening.

    There does exist GPL Flash, but I don't know when the last time it was updated was, and it only supports up to version 4.

    I apologize for misinterpreting your quote. Taking into consideration a disregard for standards, yes, there's a HUGE varation on html&css rendering.

  15. Re:Search Engine Optimization Professional by Boltronics · · Score: 2, Informative · on Yahoo! Vs. Google: Algorithm Standoff

    It's no wonder they don't support Flash on GNU/Linux systems - it's buggy as hell! I was a beta tester for Macromedia's GNU/Linux player (offered the opportunity after reporting so many bugs in FlashMX). Needless to say, many bugs never got fixed. My browser (FireFox) often crashes - and it's almost always due to a Flash-'enhanced' or Java-'enhanced' site. They should just enhance gplflash instead of making their own version, but they don't want to release the Flash specifications of new versions for quite some time after it's release (to give them an advantage over the competition).

    Of course by that stage, most of the motive to develop a free software player is lost by the community anyway.
