  1. Re:They just don't care. on Why Is Adobe Flash On Linux Still Broken? · · Score: 1

    Nothing I know of provides the kinds of experience that flash is capable

    I don't want an "experience", I want information and pricing. Easily provided by conventional HTML. I will never have the "experience" you are trying to foist because I never install flash and find another vendor with a more accessible website.

  2. Re:OH RLY on Why Is Adobe Flash On Linux Still Broken? · · Score: 1

    They release Flash for free anyway

    The first hit is always free. It's their bug ridden, security-holed written by market droids code, they can run it on THEIR servers and not abuse my resources. Any company clueless enough to need my machine to run that crap will not have me as a customer as I never install it.

    Why would you wish the remainder of eternity without pr0n and the insipid company of the likes of Pat Robertson on anyone?

    The email address is bogus, since the underscore is not a legal domain name character. If you had used the allowed dash, I probably would have fell for it.

    Unhealthy eating, lack of exercise, and smoking could kill us. I'm sure that cancer, and brain problems could too.

    You forget deployment into conflicts instigated by corrupt, clueless, lying chief executives and corporate cronies.

  18. Re:Time to look into other means of security on Crooks Nab Citibank ATM Codes, Steal Millions · · Score: 1

    > That's right, because all military installations arm their guards with shotguns, rather than pesky rifles. Actually, in order to perform guard duty at Pendleton in the late 70's, I was trained/qualified for .45 automatic pistols and shotguns and issued both while on duty. A shotgun is a far better close quarters and/or enclosed area weapon than an M16 sans bayonet.

    Without getting too graphic: imagine sitting down on a park bench or a restaurant chair previously occupied who by mistake or over-consumption of legumes is not quite as "minty fresh" in the neither regions as one might hope. The odds of encountering this situation on a daily basis is probably close to surety.
    As a moral stance, I have no problem with public nudity, from a practical standpoint I want to be very selective in which putative nudists with whom I have such close and repeated association.
