Uh, but it's nice to have flash for good sites like YouTube etc.
All the problems you mentioned seem to be caused by your poor choice of bad websites. Don't go to sites known for have "Webmasterz" or other crappy implementations.
Your "solution" of not having flash is like saying you can solve your problems by not using a graphical browser to avoid all those messy "JPGS" or "GIFS"
When TVs were only 4:3, then the diagonal told you exactly both the height and width. All you need is the diagonal when there is a fixed aspect ratio.
Diagonal measurement never obfuscated anything before widescreens.
Pre-widescreen, you would get the height and width exactly for all the 4:3 TVs, using the following:
Height = 3/5 * Diagonal Width = 4/5 * Diagonal
There are similar easy equations for the widescreen TVs, you just have to know the fixed aspect ratio and the diagonal. Nothing is obfuscated if you know the diagonal and the aspect ratio.
"Cherry" and "pulled out" in same sentence

Heheh, you used "cherry" and "pulled out" in the same sentence.
You dirty, dirty bird.
I think actually it does not have one meaning, as I've said, contrary to what you've tried to show. Did you disprove yourself by using the word "preferred" to describe the solution? Of course good writing is preferred, but we are discussing an example of bad writing which caused this problem in the first place.
Also, I don't believe the dangling modifier page applies to this example.
I witnessed your three exemplary statements, and there is a problem: Statement 1 illustrates my point, not yours, by giving an example of an ambiguous sentence. It can be parsed two ways (or reworded as in your second statement), and you go on to show this. Statement 2 illustrates one possible rewording such that the ambiguity is removed to avoid alternate interpretations. Statment 3 illustrates commas to force one particular parsing.
So, by showing that your first statement is ambiguous and can be fixed in two ways, I believe you have only proven my point, and your additional information page does not apply to proving or disproving my point.
The title "Keylogging Used To Catch Bank Crackers" is indisputably wrong, no matter how you parse it.
Furthermore, you have introduced your own parsing bias in the first non-comma sentence. The fact is the non-comma sentence does not have one difinitive meaning, and you are just telling us what it means through your assumed meaning.
The fact is you cannot indisputably say that the word "using" applies to the hackers and not the Crime Unit - the only thing supporting that interpretation is the adjacency between hackers and using, and as you illustrate with commas, the sentence can be parsed without commas such that the using applies to the Crime Unit.
It's like saying "Criminal killed her using steak knife". In that sentence you cannot know whether I meant the criminal used the steak knife, or the woman was cutting her steak using her steak knife when she was killed with, say, a bullet from the criminal's gun.
So, if you take this ambiguous sentence, and combine that with the indisputably wrong title of "Keylogging Used To Catch Bank Crackers", then you cannot come to your conclusion that the editor of the article is correct.
Checking the odometer won't work because you will be paying taxes for all driving, including driving on roads that aren't in CA - driving that CA shouldn't be taxing you for.
How are they going to prove he "distributed" the movie if he is only serving chunks out piecemeal to various clients?
I mean, can they track other users, to see how many full downloads were obtained only from this guy?
Serving a small slice of the movie is not distributing the movie because THAT SLICE is useless without all the pieces. If he was serving the movie, all they can prove is they *they* were able to download one copy of it (per machine/instance they were able to download). Right?
But I always thought the byproducts of photosynthesis were carbohydrates and oxygen, not oxygen and hydrogen as the article suggests? Hydrogen is used as a source in the photosynthesis process (usually taken from water), not produced as a result.
I used to be a hardcore starcraft player, but when Warcraft 3 came out I specifically upgraded my computer to run it.
Warcraft 3 gives you a win if your opponent disconnects, so Blizzard knew to fix this "disconnector" problem you had with starcraft.
So I highly recommend you upgrade your computer and try Warcraft 3... it's a little different to play but it's really very fun once you get the hang of it, just like Starcraft was. Plus, you could buy a good enough video card for like $20 nowdays, and it would run WC3 fine.
It says so in the title of the article, and the very first sentence of the article.

Black jack is a game that can be beaten in the long run. That's precisely why casinos will blacklist good players... because the good players know how to consistently win. You can call it "card counting" but there is nothing illegal about it, and an average player can "card count" without much learning. Just keep track of how many high cards are floating around, and statistically when there are many high cards to be dealt, you are more likely to see the dealer bust... plain and simple. You don't play to win with your hand by hitting, you increase your bet when the dealer is more likely to bust and let them take the high cards.
Saying saying that blackjack "played at [sic] it's best... will translate into certain losses" is incorrect.
What's the point of saying you have a relatively "informed" view, when your view is wrong?
Most people play like bots? No, that's the problem, "most people" can't calculate perfect statistics on the fly, or do any of the other things bots can do in microseconds.
The 'human element' you talk about is present in face-to-face games, but in online games, you can't even see the other players! That's why bots can compete and disrupt the game. Maybe you can comment about playing poker in home/casino games, but I think your relatively informed view does not apply to this thread.
Yeah I mean, damn, they could have just copied-and-pasted to get the line of sight correct.
If you don't put forth the effort to proofread your own paraphrasing, why not be a complete lazy-ass and copy/paste? At least that way you can blame any errors on the original.
It would cost just over $3000 for 215 music album CDs, if they were priced at $14 each. But what if you want 500 albums worth of music?
If you have such a huge appetite for music, wouldn't it be more cost effective to simply download all your music for free, then settle for $3000 when you get caught? It would be cheaper to steal the music instead of buying it legally.
Perhaps in time it will be recognized that SCO is the *BEST* thing that could have happened to Linux... Microsoft will eventually slap themselves in the forehead for their support of SCO.
SCO is providing the flame for the Linux phoenix... after the flame dies down, the phoenix will rise, more powerful than ever. The phoenix will just look like a penguin, of course.
Any attention is good attention. Think of how many more people know about Linux after all the SCO FUD? When the FUD goes away with SCO, Linux will explode. Look how the Napster beat-down turned everyone onto music sharing (via Gnutella etc.)

Yeah, and a while back, they were saying the same thing about that new-fangled "horseless carriage."
If this is a really good/new thing, it could conceivably replace the old things entirely.
But, the article *says* it's a design error.
It says so in the title of the article, and the very first sentence of the article.

That should read:
"...no *layers* of distributors"
