The Return of GPLFlash

ValourX writes "Remember GPLFlash, the free software project that was supposed to replace the proprietary Macromedia Flash plugin? Well it's back in active development according to this NewsForge article. GPLFlash is half of the proprietary duo that the Free Software Foundation is rallying to replace with free equivalents. The alpha release isn't far away, but the development team could use some programming help, if you're available."

So Flash is good now?

[Timesprout]

Is it ?? Is it?? Tell me, I dont know what to think now after all the anti flash vitriol.

Free flash?

All I can say is as long as I can smack the monkey for a free iPod or PSP, I'm give it a try! :D

I haven't coded shit in 4 years (I wasted my time and money to get an MBA in the last couple of years after being out of work for over a year. Don't get an MBA!! It's FUCKING worthless!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I was a C++ coder back then. What I'm saying is, appearantly I'm not qualified to get a tech job now - or any other job.
Do you think they'd take me?!?

They have a ton of money on the line...

Yeah, definitely. At $0.00 per download for their flash plugin, a hit like this is really going to make them ache.

am I kidding? Have you seen it? It's awful, straight out of 1991, it would fit just perfect next to a couple of animated gifs of "under construction" and "send me e-mail" that folds up into an envelope and flies away. I mean, I don't usually criticize people contributing free stuff, but damn. I could've peed something in the snow better than that.

You need Flash to smack the monkey?

WOW, I thought I had a computer fetish.

[pete-classic]

They lose money on every download, but they make up for it in the volume.

Insightfull My ass , that is just trolling.

-1 Trolling while talking about Trolling.

Would you care to mention why it is the worst logo ever.

-1 Dead f'ing obvious

I assure you i have seen worse in my time.

-1 Criticizing for ambiguity, then being totally f'ing ambiguous.

So either help him make it better by pointing out what he did wrong or shut up.

Make that better? +7 Funny

For shame.

Don't be so hard on the person who created the logo, after he selflessly spent three precious minutes of his life working on it.

They could...

[haeger]

...have used this logo [38one.com] which imho would have been MUCH worse.

I got flashed in the park. Last thing I wanted to do after that was smack the monkey.

Remember GPLFlash, the free software project that was supposed to replace the proprietary Macromedia Flash plugin?

No.

Re:The difference

[nacturation]

If he had only just said "That sucks", I wouldn't have said anything. But he claimed to be able to do it better. So if he's going to make a claim, he should shit or get off the pot.

Obviously, he's waiting for it to snow.
