Yes, the Flash issue is a real bummer. It is best *not* to show your

Why? Is there some reason that you or they want to watch ads?
I can't think of a single site that I use that needs Flash; I don't
install it even on a Windows or MacOS X box.

Unfortunately a lot of consumer sites are starting to use flash as a
semi-static and predictable way to deliver content to people; it's
incredibly annoying, and becomes very noticeable once you install
stuff that blocks SWF files: http://www.noscript.net/whats :). Thus,
that is one solution to get rid of your ads (adblock+ is another, but
meh), so you can keep Flash functionality and get rid of crappy Flash
animations, while surfing the net.
Also, FYI: a lot of sites have built animations with (Adobe) Flash 9,
so unless you have a Windows or Mac PC nearby you probably won't be
able to load up animations on a Unix PC as the latest version
available is 7.
