Just crank your sense of humour down a few notches... For standard time, Karl Auerbach pronounced "hour back" For daylight savings, Karl Adenauer pronounced "add an hour"
Slight problem with your point about the show being full of ads...the bbc does not show adverts (other than for upcoming shows) as it is funded by the viewers via the TV license (and selling programming they have produced).
I don't deny flash has its uses, it's just that I've never seen something done with flash that couldn't have been done better another way (maybe I've just been unlucky?). Maybe web designers should have to pass "When not to use Flash 101" before being let loose on the rest of us. Flash as a technology is very useful but should be used sparingly, especially if you are expecting a high proportion of modem users.
Recently I have been using Proxomitron (highly recommended) to filter pages and my browsing experience have greatly improved:-) and these animations should disappear just as easily as banner ads.
And what's wrong with globally banning flash? I have yet to see a flash animation that added anything to a page. Flash is alomost acceptable is you are on broadband...but with a modem, who wants to wait for the object to download just so that you can have some flashy effect that provides nothing in the way of information and often makes the site less intuitive to navigate?
If a company could offer me dsl at $90 per month I would sign up quicker than something that is really really quick. I'm in the UK and any sort of broadband in my area (except for ISDN at $60 per month for the line and ISP charges on top of that) is at least a year away. $60 for ISDN + $20 for the ISP (to get free internet phone calls) = $80 per month for 64k (no ISP offering free calls does 128k) OR $90 for 785k...what a decision to have to make, rotflmao.

Try Startup Control Panel, very handy little program that allows easy access to all the programs that windows tries to start.
