Sorry, Deficient, but yer about 5 months the fuck out of date:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html

Adobe/Macromedia released a beta version of Flash 9 for Linux back in
November I believe and so far it hasn't choked on anything I've thrown
at it so unless you can provide ACTUAL PROOF that there are SPECIFIC
things which won't work on the beta release...well, mayhaps you should
shut yourself the fuck up until you manage to formulate a coherent
counter argument. Fu

WRONG!

Flash, even the latest versions work on anything, Mac, Windows, Linux
with ALL the mainstream browsers including IE, Netscape, Firefox,
Opera, Konqueror, Safari, etc. About the only thing it doesn't work
on is Linx...and that's half the reason you include a plain text fall
back version of the site (the other half is for the few remaining
deficient search engines that can't spider the text content of Flash
files).

....of course, I haven't ACTUALLY checked out Linx in some time, so for
all I know they can now display the text content of Flash files, or
even if Linx can't I wouldn't be surprised if there was another text
based browser that could. I'm not a blind person or a wannabe blind
person (the Amish of the Internet) so I don't really know, which is
why I still take the bother to throw in a plain text fall back version
of the site.

Except that W3C compliancy in NO WAY equates to cross browser and
cross operating system compatibility because NO BROWSER actually pays
any attention AT ALL to the W3Cs line of idiocy and NO BROWSER comes
anywhere the fuck even remotely CLOSE to adhering to their
RECOMMENDATIONS. Unless all the browser makers magically decide to
actually meet all of the W3Cs recommendations then THERE IS NO WAY for
W3C compliant code to be cross browser and cross operating system
compatible.

....you know, it's funny...cause I could have SWORN I brought up most
of this IN MY LAST POST...I guess maybe you just weren't paying the
fuck attention, huh kiddo? Maybe someone just needs to bend you the
fuck over their knee and start BEATING reality into you...ya
know...cause otherwise...I just don't think yer gonna get it, not with
yer thick fucking skull. *shrugs*
