Occupy Flash?
mcgrew writes "CNN is reporting another Occupy movement — Occupy Flash. Their aim: get rid of Flash completely. They explain: 'Why does it matter when HTML5 has clearly won the fight for the future of our web browsing? Well, as we've seen with other outdated web technologies (most notably the much-lamented Internet Explorer 6), as long as software is installed on machines, there will be a contingent of decision makers who mandate its use, and there will be a requirement of continued support, the plugin will live on, and folks will continue to develop for it.' In response, a group of Flash developers have started Occupy HTML in Flash's defense. Popcorn, anyone?"
I can see it now, this is the start of Occupygate.
Just an electric chair so we can properly deal with Flash and Flash developers. The beast must die.

It's a shit meme and anyway George Bush beat them all to it years ago with Occupy Afghanistan in 2001 and Occupy Iraq in 2003.
That's it. It's time to Occupy Slashdot.
No longer will we idly stand by and stand for the continuation of all the Bitcoin slashvertisements!

"Occupy" is teetering on the edge of really jumping the shark here.
I believe the term is "nuking the fridge" now.
Isn't it just a common mislatinization? Clearly it should be occupodes!
I've always thought the best way to govern is to favor incentive over punishment. I'm sure she could think of a way to get you moving...
How does it feel to be a liar with pants constantly on fire?
As a die-hard Twilight fan, and member of team centenarian pedophile, I resent this.

I think the worst was when some moron came up with "Occupy Tibet"... Um, being occupied is PRECISELY the problem they have.
Unfortunately I can't rant on the guy's Facebook page without "liking" the stupidity...

And, let's face it, punishment may be what he's after. Just as long as he remembers the safe word.
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
Yes! Stand up to them! Freedom of expression is for us, not them!
