Flash is a piece of shit that has never worked right and Adobe are a bunc= h of=20 fools that cannot code properly or securely. I can comfortably say this b= ased=20 on long hard bitter experience by the entire Linux community.

Flash is a bundled binary and recompiling world will not recompile Flash. Adobe fixing Flash is what will fix Flash. --=20 alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
