How interesting,... *NOT* Flash is about the worst thing that has ever happened to the internet. I as a user do not use so what is your point again? Who cares that it is in ports? I certainly don't. Why would I care if someone wants to see ads shooting at them when they visit a site? Good for them; keep the internet cheaper for me bud by watching ads. Yay you!
This is such an infantile argument. ZOMG1!!!111!!!! THEY CAN INSTALL, LIKE, SOFTWARE ON THEIR OS!!!!111!!! Really who gives a rats ass? Ask yourself some better questions. Who funds the FSF? Do you think they need some special attention? How about the software that companies like Sun put out under the GPL; did you gain anything from it? Or did Sun essentially used your GPL against you? Is IBM really writing code using the GPL because they are great? Or are they just selling services and hardware? The double speak and double standards are beyond obvious. You people need a better spokes person for these stupid arguments. I believe Tony Snow (a.k.a. snowjob) is available.
