Now, I happen to think Adobe Flash does a great job at what it is supposed to do. What I am afraid of is when it is doing something I don't want it to do. Its' very nature, coupled with the fact that it is closed-source, makes hacks that invade the privacy, such as it is, difficult to detect and correct. That is why I keep asking for an open- source alternative

I admire those that say open source is the answer. But those of us who don't write code are no better off than those who pay for every ap they use, closed source. It would do me absolutely no good at all to have the code for Adobe-- I couldn't read it, nor could I fix it, if it were broken.
I hope that this doesn't result in a flame thread, but I do think that it makes sense.
the quoting style may lead to some confusion, but your answer is in the group of people around you using foss. *Some* of them are able to read code and *do* complain about things that are not kosher. That makes *you* better off even thou you don't know it. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
