Adobe Releases New 64-Bit Flash Plugin For Linux 240
TheDarkener writes "Adobe seems to have made an about face regarding their support for native 64-bit Linux support for Flash today, and released a new preview Flash plugin named 'Square.' This includes a native 64-bit version for Linux, which I have verified works on my Debian Lenny LTSP server by simply copying libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins — with sound (which I was never able to figure out with running the 32-bit version with nspluginwrapper and pulseaudio)."

Right now I only use flash, if my room temperature drops to low.

I'm really sorry, that's just a knee jerk reaction every time I see the words "Linux" and "Flash" in the title of a Slashdot article.

I know flash gets much hate around here....
Nah, not at all.
BTW, is the source code released? I want to add code that gives a fatal shock to developers and designers who use Flash.

Even a random word generator would get things right more often than a Slashdot editor.
I disagree. This is what a random word generator got me:
Drawings can followed improved out sociable not. Earnestly so do instantly pretended.
True, it's close, but I still think the random word generator comes in second place.

Now that there is 64bit addressing available to the flash plugin, flash can now take all of your CPU and RAM.
