As a general comment on adobe( with no real desire to discuss the matter)
they recently released a flash plugin for MacOSX rife with security issues.
I would think long and hard before installing any of their crappy code on my
box. The sooner adobe disappears the better, just consider that MacOS X is
much more mainstream than Linux, so if they screw Apple users that badly,
just think how low on their list GNU/Linux users are....I mention it because
I have seen many, many people complaining that flash doesn't work for them.
Adobe seems to have very little regard for the users of its flash plugin and
its a good bet the rest of their "software" is equally atrocious, from a
security standpoint, they appear to be as sloppy a bunch as I have ever
seen.
