  3. Flash sucks on Why Is Adobe Flash On Linux Still Broken? · · Score: 1
    Sometimes Flash will freeze when using YouTube and i have to do ps -A / kill. Same thing with SeeqPod.

    I can't do anything with Gnash or swfdec so i have to put up with Flash 9. I tried Flash 7 but a lot of sites won't work with it.

    Also, i can get a way better playback quality by playing the Flash file from /tmp with mplayer (no video or audio skipping).

    And Flash is also _so_ annoying. It takes longer for pages to load, scrolling gets slower, distracting videos, obnoxious audio. . .

    Flash is garbage. Flashblock is gold.

    This is so true. Look at the data sheets of these drives: http://www.supertalent.com/products/ssd_detail.php?type=DuraDrive%20ET

  22. Re:Optimized? on Next Generation SSDs Delayed Due To Vista · · Score: 1

    Noise can come from other sources too. When i first put an SSD on my laptop the thing was still making noise. I found two culprits: The screen and the C states.
    At full brightness the screen is silent, but at lower settings it makes high-pitched noises, sort of like a CRT monitor.
    I also put a line (echo 2 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate) on rc.local to lower the C state of the computer because the higher settting (C4), while saving power, also makes a high-pitched noise. I switch it back to C4 if on battery power, though.
