    flashplugin-nonfree is a package in the Ubuntu repos. I think you need the 'universe' repository enabled. I downloads, installs, and configures the flash plugin from Adobe automatically.

    As I suggested in a sibling post: have you installed 'flashplugin-nonfree'? I have no troubles with it whatsoever.

    Ubuntu has done a pretty good job implementing the 32-bit flash in their 64-bit OS. Install the 'flashplugin-nonfree package'.

  17. Re:Moore's Law, anyone? on MIT Offers City Car for the Masses · · Score: 1

    My personal testimony on this: Biking works.
    I ride my bike in a city that doesn't have overwhelming traffic problems (so cars can go much faster than in the big city), and I can catch up with cars that passed me up to 1/4 of a mile back if the cars get caught at the right intersections. Definitely would do better in a metropolitan area. That said, it takes me ~35 minutes to get to a destination that takes 5-10 minutes in a car (4.7 miles one-way).

  18. Re:Shared Cars = Yellow Bike = Failure on MIT Offers City Car for the Masses · · Score: 2, Informative

    If one is charged for every day that they keep the car, they would return it pretty quickly. They are not giving the cars away. They are being rented out.

    Even if a reincarnated Hitler came back and told us that it's important we do more space exploration, the fact that the person making the claim is generally reviled has no bearing on the factuality or effectiveness of his arguments.
