That has not worked in >4 months here. On wheezy, I have installed every 
new flashplugin-installer thats been released, and thats a bunch of 
them, ditto for my ancient lappy with lubuntu 14.04  on it but there is 
nothing for it to download.  So quit advertising that it works and just 
let flash die the horrible security hole ridden death it deserves.

Can you stop it from calling home?  Tcpdump and wireshark are quite 
educational tools.

So do I use chrome, pure and simply because I don't have to click thru 2 
or 3 of iceweasels paranoid, are you sure requesters, which it promises 
to remember you OK'd it, but it hasn't remembered yet.

BBC refuses to show us 'Mericans about 1/2 the stories, they want us to 
watch the reruns 8-12 hours later on Public TV, which our Public TV 
agencies bought.  Maybe they don't grok that the only reason I am awake 
at 4AM when BBC is available, is that I am working on g-code, & that's 
because I woke up needing to relieve myself so I may as well trace some 
code to put me back to sleep.  I can make more progress faster when the 
rest of the house is sound asleep & not distracting me.

Yeah, I'm a grouch. I bought nearly a kilobucks worth of Mahogany, to 
make 3 more of those chests I think Lisi has seen a pix of, 120 bd-ft 
should have been plenty.  Advertised as S4S, one side of every board is 
torn out in huge scallops by dull planer blades that aren't even 
straight.  Its so abused I'm using filler by the 6 oz tube and I'll 
still toss 40 feet of it in the fire.  Oil it up for kitchen cutting 
boards maybe?
