Slashdot Article - Why Won't Macromedia Release 64-bit Flash?



It may be of interest to those on this list that there is a slashdot thread <http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/10/19/1959200> started this afternoon on the topic of Macromedia's refusal to develop a solution for Flash on 64-bit Linux. Since it is simply an Ask Slashdot, there is no news per se, but the comments may be interesting nonetheless.

For those of you who do not feel like browsing through the comments, I would like to humbly point out mine < http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=165807&cid=13830331> in particular. In it I reference a generic letter which I have created to send to websites who require Flash, which, of course, those of us running in a pure64 environment cannot use. At the risk of being redundant to those who may have already seen it, I'd like to provide a link to that letter <http://arctangent.net/~formatc/amd64flash.html> for those of you interested in having something on-hand to send to the websites that choose to stop you in your Flash-less tracks.

It may never prove to be a large enough campaign to solicit a turnabout from any webmasters, but it could at least make the issue heard.
