Parent said: "That is by definition "not working" on any Linux architecture different from that specification, even though one can do some half-assed, barely functional fakery on 64-bit x86." in response to me telling him it works for me. It works on the 3 different computers I now maintain (2 of which are 64 bit). I'm not dismissing that others have problems, but keeping up the flash-is-not-working-on-linux-FUD is rubbish when it's clearly not an even-close-to-universal truth (and I base that upon the fact that I have not touched one Linux computer that it did not work on). The flash I see is neither half-assed, nor barely functional.
I sympathize with you in your troubles, but it does not apply to all, and from what I can tell, most have it working.
FFS. Will you quit the nagging? It's working here. That's what I'm saying. It has not crashed or malfunctioned once so far on Gutsy, since its release. That's it!
I'm using the 32-but plugin wrapper from the repos. It took 2 clicks with my mouse. And, it's working. W-O-R-K-I-N-G. Meaning, I see what the maker of the file wants me to see. My response was to FUD about flash not working on Linux. I'd prefer it if flash wasn't there, but it is, and I'm dealing with it. If that means I'm being taken up the poo-hole by Windows or whatever, then so be it.
Everyone seems to be missing the point that natural selection is not the main factor in human evolution. Sexual selection is. And the selection pressure is pushing as hard as ever.
I think at least a couple of slashdotters get laid, proving there is still a lot of female desperation out there. Unless of course evolution is favouring pale bodies radiated only by computer screens.
If [...] they start learning words just by memorization to get through whatever level, a la hooked on phonics, they will suffer later in life with reading comprehension.
Just out of curiosity, do you have much research backing this up?
The pod race copied the Norwegian puppet movie "Flåklypa Grand Prix" from 1975. The whole race-while-fighting-thing is of course age old in films, but Ep1 takes it one step further, and copies the exact motions in the last stretch from Flåklypa. BTW, Flåklypa is a great film, if you haven't, go see it.
The thing that disappointed me the most with Ep1 [...] was that they introduced a truly intriguing character in the person of Darth Maul, cast a gifted athletic actor for him that brought incredible life and action to the lightsaber duels (*by far* the best saber fights in all six of the movies), and then only have him onscreen for ten minutes and kill him like a chump at the end.
Amen to that! Darth Maul was definitely a super villain that could have meant so much for the next 2. He could have been the perfect character, and in that, the antithesis to everything else in ep1. IMO, ep2 was as bad as ep1 (remember Anakin rolling around in the hills... Geez...) Ep3 was sinister enough to make it viewable, but not much more.
Bookmarks all tabs? It's just one right click, one left click. (Unless of course you're filling in fields all through the days, and have open pages that are really long, and with no anchors, in which case you have a valid case. Though I would reevaluate my work flow if I did this.)
What relevant use cases are there for keeping your browser open for days? I would think you're either too lazy to turn it off, or you're using the wrong tool for the work at hand.
+1 I fired up Firefox on two occasions to take a look. Firefox just shows a flash thingie. Next, I started Konqueror, which looks to not have flash. The back up solution works:)
You register as a customer even if you pay nothing. 1: Why would you register 2 times? 2: If you didn't register two times, I would guess the people running the stats would give numbers based on *users*, not indidividual downloads.
You are aware that your premice gets chopped down because of the fact that not a lot of people would go to the trouble of making a new customer profile, in stead of just using the one they've already made?
And, hopefully others are like me, having paid 0, now listening to the album, and deciding to go back and pay the guys. Try before you buy is smart, and might not show up in stats before some time has passed.
Works fine for me with the same type of card. Only problem was a well known bug that has/etc/usplash.conf to some weird resolution, thus giving me a black screen in stead of usplash. Changing those values to something my monitor accepted fixed that.
But I think all bets are off as to whether the software will be of "production quality" by then (whatever "production quality" means these days - every production phone I've owned in the past 5 years has been an unstable piece of crap anyway).

You did imply that more trees will grow due to more athmospheric CO2. Isn't it then fair to ask why trees are reacting to this phenomenon if other parts of nature are not? If you can't come up with a response, or have the time or the energy, fair enough.
Unrelated to our discussion: The problem in overall global warming discussion is that doubters often say: It's not man made. If it's man made, it's not a problem. If it's a problem, it's not man made because it happened in Jurassic time as well. This kind of circular argumenting makes no sense.
More interesting than reading what nerds on/. think is seeing this wikipedia article: Scientific opinion on climate change. Note especially this: "With the release of the revised statement by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, no scientific bodies of national or international standing are known to reject the basic findings of human influence on recent climate"
You seem to come into this from a pretty narrow perspective. You are aware that also organisms that consume trees thrive in warmer conditions? That may very well result in massive forest death. As seen in Alaska among other places.
By the way, if man made CO2 emissions are miniscule (which is true) and won't affect global temperature (which is erroneous), why would that miniscule amount matter to trees?

The nagging applies to the fact that you don't seem to accept that flash works for me, and likely for a lot of other Linux users.

Flash works fine on my 64 bit Ubuntu as well. Even though there is no actual 64 bit flash player for Linux.

Thanks! Some of the comments here are really elitist (and lacking in understanding of how normal this situation is), but then again, this IS /.
That post made my day! Mod +1 funny!

If that's how you feel, why do you comment on /. ? Or even look at it at all? Is your life that boring and eventless?

How is nature supposed to push back against athmospheric CO2? By growing more trees? How do you foresee this happen?
