Um, hello, dip*** n00b, Flash is not proprietary software nor does it
require more than 2.3 brain cells to install it. You know, since it's
normally ALREADY installed and even if it's not it's auto-installing
the moment you come across it. Durr, er, think REAL slow now. By
your fuckwitted perception you could just as easily say that Firefox
is "proprietary software". I don't think you even KNOW what that word
means in relation to software, New***.

aah.. I meant to view your flash content I have to install proprietary
Adobe Flash Player on my Firefox running ubuntu. There is a free flash-
plugin known as gnash but that is quite buffy and does not work on my
system. The only choice I am left with is the Adobe prop.
pollution ;) which I don't do.

....wow, just...WOW! I mean again you try and claim it's proprietary
and then in the VERY NEXT SENTENCE you contradict your own stupidity
claiming that there's another Flash-plugin known as gnash. How the
*** could it be proprietary if there are alternatives? Also, why
make mention of how this other player is "free"...are you trying to
imply that the official Adobe releases of the Flash player AREN'T
free?

The only reason for not installing Flash is complete and total fucking
stupidity. Flash is one of, if not THE most versatile, cross browser,
cross platform solution available. When combined with PHP, XML and
javascript it is quite literarily the be all and end all solution to
web development. Why? This is why...

1. support of 32 bit JPEGs

2. fully cross operating system compatible

3. fully cross browser compatible

4. support of the On2 VP6 codec

5. support of color matrices

6. support of audio spectrum analysis

7. support of alpha transparent video

8. fully cross browser support of alpha transparent PNG files
(possible with a bunch of extra javascript…even then though there are
compatibility issues)

9. ability to track the number of bytes loaded on a particular object

10. the ability to dynamically control the loading of media files
(could be done in javascript but not as easily and less efficiently)

11. direct connection to ports with the ability to “talk” directly
with a particular protocols language

12. ability to analyze and manipulate image pixel data in a whole
variety of ways. (only Java is comparable in that respect)

13. ability to stop a media file from being loaded during the loading
process

14. ability to control the resizing of elements, being able to turn on
and off smoothing for specific elements and making use of bilinear and
bicubic resampling. (can be done with a combination of PHP and
javascript, but it's less cross browser compatible and uses 10 times
the amount of server resources and is about 700% slower, even with
server side image caching.)

15. fully custom cursors (can be done with SOME versions of IE using
CSS, but even then yer limited to cur files and can't use larger
images)

16. custom context menus

17. custom scroll bars

18. FIFTY TIMES FASTER than javascript

19. custom video/audio controls (can be done ~somewhat~ with
javascript but ONLY with certain browsers like IE…and even then with
only about half the functionality that you can get with Flash, like
you can't track how much has been loaded/streamed and you can't track
the play positioning)

20. direct support, creation and control over vector based graphics

There’s TWENTY different things that can ONLY be done with Flash.
There’s a couple that ~sorta~ can be done without it…but only if you
want to make your sites so that they only function on Internet
Explorer…and even then you can't get ALL the functionality that Flash
offers.

Even for just a PLAIN TEXT site using Flash is VASTLY superior to
using HTML and CSS; mostly cause you can use embedded fonts, you can
have liquid sizable text as opposed to just liquid space stretched
text and you get proper font antialiasing in Flash.

As I said...only a fuckin RETARD wouldn't want Flash installed on
their system. It's easy, it's free, it's compact and doesn't leave
any kind of malware or adware on your system. Further, you can
develop Flash content without having to buy Adobe's Flash developer. I
myself use SwishMax as its interface is vastly superior to Adobe's and
the program itself is WAY cheaper.

Who the *** is Bertrand Russel?

Erm... uh.. oh... okay ...okay.... I have missed one "L" :P

Meh...kinda boring. I don't mean to sound liak an arrogant bastage,
but really, the only writing I truly enjoy...is my own. I also don't
liak to expose myself too much to other writers as I find it dulls my
style. It's far too easy to read what someone else has written and
then to later parrot it nearly word for word, often without even
realizing it, rather than developing your own truly unique version of
the concept. There are lots of universal concepts, but each one can
be presented and explained differently. I would rather discover those
concepts on my own, through my own experience and come up with my own
interpretations and explanations of them, rather than simply being
spoon fed the ideas and experiences of other writers.

one more thing, nearly all of the community here had just fucked me up
after I asked the question, at least this is what it seems from the
replies. But when I replied to your quotes and told you what I have
experienced you replied much calmly and decently ( except some ***-
newbie-up here and there ;) and answered/replied to what I have
said . Why so ? I mean I am not able to find reason for this opposite
behavior. I never expected it after everyone flamed me

Tis the nature of the beast. On Usenet there are no real rules, no
ban happy mods to shelter and coddle you, there's simply hard, blunt,
bitch slapping reality coupled with a few shades of ass whipping
sarcasm and invective word art. Most people are hard on n00bs to test
them, to see whether they're a Netter or a Webbie. Those who get
upset easily and start whining and crying for someone to come and
babysit their online experience are Webbies, and as such they should
retard back to Webbie land and find themselves a nice ban happy little
moderated web board where they can have a parental figure censor and
control the content they see.

Netters on the other hand just laugh that sort of thing off, it's seen
moar as a kind of playful banter than an attack, a verbal
conflagration of the sort, aka word art. Netters are much moar
evolved socially than Webbies, partly because our environment isn't
restrictive and also partly because most Netters tend to be older
Netizens who have been around and posting for decades. Most Webbies
tend to be of the stay-at-home-mom type, or yer average ultra
Christian conservative n00b who only just discovered the Internet a
couple years back. And then of course you've got yer tweenage muppet
fucks, prostitots and so forth. Basically kiddies whose neglectful
parents use the Internet as their babysitter. Often these kids wind
up severally mind fucked, especially if they're exposed to some of the
moar..."raw" content online:

*nods*

The bottom line is you should never take anything online seriously and
the minute you start to...yeah, log off, cause yer only gonna wind up
torturing yourself, especially if people suspect that you do take it
all seriously. That would be akin to painting a large red bullseye
right across yer chest. That's how most trolls work, they exploit
those who treat the Internet as serious business. If you're the kind
of person who can "fall in love" with someone in a chat room, or the
kind of person who will start frothing in seething hateful rage if
someone insults one of yer dead relatives...yeah, you make yourself a
troll target. You can't troll people who never take anything
seriously though, because they're just playing along for fun.
