Comment It seems plain and simple (Score 2, Informative) 944

If Adobe was able to actually make Flash ubiquitous and platform independent, it wouldn't suck so bad and would actually be used for much more useful stuff. If you look at Java, even as much as Sun screwed the pooch with it, they got it onto dang near any and every platform and it worked pretty much the same on every one. Flash on Windows works alright, on Linux it lags way behind (64 bit version in beta for how many years now???). Mac version buggy and crash prone, no availability on mobile devices. Doesn't really sound like a standard at all. Sounds like a 'feature' just waiting to be replaced by the thing that actually works.

Comment Re:Frontpage (Score 2, Funny) 465

If Frontpage extensions are not available for Apache 2, that sounds like an extremely compelling reason to use 2.0! Frontpage extensions should never be used in any way, shape or form IMHO. I suppose they can actually be secured in some fashion, but I've never encountered any organization that succeeded at it. These are always backdoors into web defacements and depending on the architecture, the organization itself.
