I signed this one, but I also signed the petition to update Flash on FreeBSD (a few years ago). While I'd like to see flash go away, until it does it'd be cool (for some people) to have the latest Flash on FreeBSD.

Now this is one I would sign!
Flash is complete and utter filth.. polluting the Internet, dang-it I want to enter a Coca-Cola contest once in my life without seeing a "Woah dude, Go here to upgrade your flash! blah blah" message. Last edited by BSDfan666; 26th June 2008 at 03:56 AM. |

When I surf the web, I'm looking for content. If it looks sexy when I get there, that's nice but I'd rather find something _worthwhile_ while I'm at it. I've seen some very, very attractively designed websites in flash, some that are even quite easy to use (if you have the right software) but simply put: If the product ya selling ain't worth [self censored] or the content is trivial, why do I want to spend an hour looking at your eye popping website when I can just turn a page in the manual or buy a better product?

the web designer in this tail must be really dumb or really drunk to not reach enlightenment quickly after so many exchanges...
Wait, I've probably encountered dozens of websites by such dipsticks, wonder if they ever learn without a few <KICK>s in the butt</KICK>

Another thing that needs to be fumigated, cremated and buried at sea.
[bad]ActiveX[/bad] I tech support an internet café, running (I am very much afraid) XP machines. We have constant complaints about random photo upload activex controls not showing. The only way to install these is to log in as admin, log in to the site (even if you prefer abominations like facebook didn't exist), go to the photo upload page, and allow the activex to install. On every machine. For every service you can't avoid not supporting. Often for each language. Until they create a new version of the rotten thing. Realistically, You just can't do it. Facebook even has the applet correctly reimplemented as a java applet for Firefox - But they don't use it for IE, so we still have complaints. Bah. IE is teh loozors.
