Why is anyone surprised? The more stuff you have online, the more targets you have on your back.
This reminds me of the arguments after Stuxnet when people were asking why equipment was online that had no business being online. People are trying to set up their house like the Jetson's with everything automated and controllable from their smart phone. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

Impressive. It's appx 12 hours later and only down to a 2 and meantime i've had most of my comments modded down as troll and off topic. Now i've got bad karma. Oh to teh noes!
Ditto. I was gone all week and came back to see a bunch of my comments modded down as troll and off topic.
Currently i'm responding to a comment with a score of 3. I wonder how badly it'll get dropped.
You could try overriding those update settings. It means you're no longer on the bleeding edge of the Flash updates but it makes your life significantly less irritating.

I 100% agree that Flash is a pain no matter what you do to customize it and think it should be roasted over the burning hulk that used to be known as Beta.
Doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing. When was the last time Adobe did something with peoples best interests in mind or anything that would be considered even remotely humane?
If Adobe hated/. Beta, that would be one of the only ways i'd even consider embracing it.
Because some asshats are trying to justify their existence as they try to build "the next big thing". What web clowns don't get and never will get is that IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!
Beta is like that hot chick i met in Tijuana. I wanted to explore. I wanted to experiment. Most importantly, i wanted all of my friends know what i had within my grasp! Now that i've gotten home, i'm afraid Beta infecting myself + world + dog.
I don't want to take away from a useful comment and i sincerely apologize to ysth but...
FUCK SLASHDOT BETA
@ysth: seriously though, i think you had a good point and wish i could +1 you

Sad when Fox News has better Sci Fi than Sy Fy chanel.

Don't worry. They'll have you modded as off topic and as a troll before anyone gets a chance to read this.
They'll hand out mod points like candy next week during slashcott
It may not destroy the universe but maybe THAT will destroy Beta!

Don't forget on their G+ feed when they post. I don't know what they're doing on FB since i'm not on there but if you can, then make some noise!
Nope! Can't hear them over the loud SUCKING sound coming from beta.slashdot.org
So IKEA is selling to the military? (Obligatory "Beta sucks donkey balls")
...if a star can emerge from Slashdot Beta. That shit is a black hole of user interface hell.
There is no gravity. BETA just sucks that hard!
Why would Dice buy Slashdot only to destroy it?

I would be interested in reading the summary buuuuuuuuut... Fuck you Beta. Hard. With fiberglass insulation for lube.
I sincerely hope that BETA dies a quicker and more painful death than Sony's BETAMAX.
Don't forget to share your feelings about whatever DICE posts on G+ or FB! Bonus points: Is BETA uglier than woot.com these days? 3
Dice.com already tried this but FaceBook had already claimed this

On the plus side, the social integration probably won't work until version 30!
On a completely unrelated topic, Microsoft records record profits: http://news.slashdot.org/story...
"by carefully all the submissions" Someone has been practicing the Slashdot/Dice ways I see! :)
Much like Microsoft, it truly hasn't sunk in to the Gnome camp that their UI is complete utter shit'tastic.
Pay for them to do it.
