I mean, FFS, Adobe had Flash ready for the iPhone in months.... But we can't even get a native x64 version of it on ANY OS.

Funny you should say that, because I'm running the x64 linux flash plug-in right now. Its supposedly in alpha, but seems entirely functional to me. Check out the release notes. Yeah, they came up with something for the iPhone in a few months, but it is simply running a derivative of OS X, and the plug-in had a huge demand.

QoS allows the router to drop packets coming in for a particular ip/port (your client) if they exceed a certain rate (normal and/or burst). TCP will automatically renegotiate the transfer speed to accommodate the loss of packets. In this way users hogging bandwidth can be contained. The real powers of QoS are in prioritizing outgoing packets in the queue, allowing protocols that require low latency (VoIP) to go out before those that have no latency requirements (torrent), but the outgoing queue can also be shaped so each user gets a fair share of outgoing traffic.

Being that VoIP means "Voice over Internet Protocol", I would say that all the apps listed qualify, but the poll requires that you use it 'regularly' to count it. I have half a dozen VoIP utilities installed and use none of them, so they are not counted.
