Newbie to Raspberry but not Linux.
Does Raspberry Pi have a working Flash or is that too
processor intensive for a RPi?

If you mean Adobe Flash, not available for ARM, apparently: <https://

But considering the security situation, you're probably better off
without it.

(I belive the Pi browsers will handle HTML5, which gives you your
videos and such without needing Flash.)

Yeah I was aware of the disadvantages of Flash so it's all good.

Next month I'll be blackout proof.
Twelve volt monitor, RPi, 12 volt router and 12 Volt digital amplifier.

All that remains is to wire up a wiring harness and order some stout 
batteries.

Bit of an internet addict so if the lights go out in hurricane season I'm 
ready ;-)

But your ISP will be down.

Last time we had a major storm around here both my ISP and my cell phone 
provider were down for a day or so.  Funny, people around here seem to 
think this sort of thing is inevitable.  It's not that hard to make 
wireless comms hard enough to take 60 MPH winds and ice.  Well, maybe 
not the ice.  Seems the antenna don't work so well with an inch of ice 
on them.

Out of curiosity, were landlines in your neighbourhood still working? I'd 
expect that they were down too if your local telco still puts the line up 
a pole but should have been just fine if it uses underground cabling.

Up to a point. In the USA these days, many landlines will go down
after ~24 hours without external power because the equivalent of the
street cab has exhausted its backup battery.

When I put the Internet into Guernsey, they proudly showed me the acre 
and a half of underground diesel tanks and the 3 large diesel generating 
sets that would keep the phones going on the island for 10 days even if 
the main power station failed and they were utterly cut off from the 
mainland.

That's APART from the batteries..

the biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly 
diverted our attention away from what really matters to our existential 
survival, to indulging in navel gazing and faux moral investigations 
into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with 
what it actually is.

So how does my phone reach those batteries in the exchanges when the 
wire has ripped in two from the poles lying on the ground?

As I pointed out, even the pole lying on the ground doesn't rip the 
wires in two in many cases

the biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly 
diverted our attention away from what really matters to our existential 
survival, to indulging in navel gazing and faux moral investigations 
into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with 
what it actually is.

Poles don't fall on the ground very often.  The problem is when trees 
fall on the lines and tear them in two.  I've also seen lines broken in 
two by ice storms which is what happened here a couple of years ago.

I work with some software developers who are from and live in
Poland.  I wonder whether they'll agree with that assertion.  :-)
