Do the poop bastard a favor and tell him/her you can't view thier page.
99% of webmasters who pull something like this because they're operating
under the mistaken assumption that Linux just can't do Flash. Educate,
remonstrate if neccessary, but don't start off on the wrong foot.
That being said, it's their job to know what's supported by what browsers
under what operating systems. All of them. ;)
