I think I'll start looking for work in other industries. This is getting ridiculous...
On the good side, I'm using Red Hat + Opera + OpenOffice. I know Red Hat has some of the same problems as Microsoft but I use alot of non-opensource tools and getting them working on other distributions is a pain.
Of course, I don't have plugins at all right now. I just don't do flash-enabled sites.

No, can't really be arsed. If I could, I'd be more likely to download a 2600 emualator, or something.
Oh, and since we're talking about Opera, this may be of interest: Opera for Linux with Plugins => http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/20010814.html

Pity... 3D first person pong. (FPP?)

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
