Well, then we can always go the other way, Alex. Let's write a player that uses a format that is more efficient than Flash, only one that only Linux users can use. Where there is a will, there is a way. :) Besides, such a project would also let the entire world know just how important a player Lin

When this problem first manifested itself, I made some comments in the 'bug' thread I started regarding my need to switch back to MS Vista that were somewhat aggravated.

My firefox is doing the same thing now, but it didn't do it until you forced me to get a Flash Update. Every time I get my machine running perfectly, you guys have me do an update, and something screws up. As much as I hate Microsoft, I'm just about ready to go back to Windows again. Every damn t

Breaking News! Little did anyone know, but Microsoft has been working in conjunction with Linux programmers and users to completely, and for all time, erradicate this problem. They have been working covertly, though. In the latter part of 2007, Microsoft released the new Vista OS. However, the
