He was referring to an American TV show called A.L.F.
The title character was an aardvark-like hand-puppet (usually
sitting on the couch in the basement, visable ONLY to the
father of the house) from another planet (ALF="Alien Life Form").
ALF wasn't just a space alien, he was an obnoxious, beer-drinking
space alien.
And incredibly funny.

It wasn't, last time I checked, a W3C standard.
Worst, it isn't (IIRC) a freely published spec, and therefore can't be
implemented in free software.
The Internet is based on mutually agreed standards that can be
implemented in free software on a wide variety of different kinds of
systems. Flash is to the best of my knowledge not such a standard.
It is a closed, proprietary technology, and using such technologies in
a medium designed and based around open standards is a VERY bad idea.
I for one do not patronize any site that requires proprietary
technology. And I strongly encourage others not to do so either.

That's a foolish pipe-dream. It will be hacked and disabled almost
immediately. You forget the lengths people will go through to get something
for nothing. Disk-based copy protection failed. Dongles failed. XP's
protection scheme, too, will fail.
The only thing MS is accomplishing is pissing off a healthy percentage of
its' user base and, quite probably, introducing more bugs into the OS.
A train wreck in the making.

This is not how I remember the story, as told by Prof. Raśl Rojas.
Apparently Zuse started off with private funding, only the Z4 was built under
contract for the German Airspace Research Office.

His first (Z1), but I doubt whether it was his biggest.
The Z1 was destroyed in the bombardment of Berlin '44.

I'm really retired. And suffering from high blood pressure. That
problem really sneaks up on you and then its almost too late. I went to
the doctors office with my ears ringing loud and mind in a fog... took
my pressure... 240/120. Damn near blew a gasket!
Taken care of now. Anyway, still catching up on Unix and what it can
do. Eventually, I'll receive a vax-4000 in the mail.. as used one
running vms 6.2. Has vax fortran and C on it already. It has two
ethernet ports on it and will connect it to this IBM and use putty.exe I
got from Rice U. (vt330 emulator). I need to get somewhere a hardware
fire-wall as wife wants to get on broadband. I don't trust software yet
to keep out intruders.
