Adobe Releases New 64-Bit Flash Plugin For Linux
TheDarkener writes "Adobe seems to have made an about face regarding their support for native 64-bit Linux support for Flash today, and released a new preview Flash plugin named 'Square.' This includes a native 64-bit version for Linux, which I have verified works on my Debian Lenny LTSP server by simply copying libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins — with sound (which I was never able to figure out with running the 32-bit version with nspluginwrapper and pulseaudio)."
Because this is Slashdot, and there wouldn't be much discussion if the article wasn't consistently wrong. Even a random word generator would get things right more often than a Slashdot editor.
No one cares about the 3% of people that use Macs. I think it's 4% or so now, but still irrelevant. Not to mention the gp stated "consumer" desktop OS, not "fanatic" desktop OS. Everyone I know who uses a Mac uses one for one of two reasons: one) they are too fucking stupid to realize "free mouse cursors" and "free screen savers" are fucking spyware and hose their computer, or two) they are too stupid to see through the marketing ploy and think Macs are easier to use because they are too fucking stupid to realize that it's operator error and not an issue with the system.
