2/5 I like Adobe Flash. When written correctly, it scales along
with your browser size. It looks consistent on every single
browser. It is predictable. On the other hand, I'm not a big
fan of CSS/HTML, which for the most part, look wildly different
between browsers, and don't even work consistently or
correctly at times. So why do so many people (like Steve Jobs)
hate Adobe Flash?
\_ It looks consistent!? I guess. They all look like an empty box
with a little (f) circle in my browser. There is no proper Flash
support in FreeBSD. I run a Windows version of Firefox under WINE
sometimes, as needed, but I'd rather not.
\_ LOL consistently bad is better than inconsistently good :)
\_ And now we know what values have been affecting the art
community for the last few decades.
\_ The player really only works on Windows (CPU usage on Macs is
ridiculous), "predictable" display sucks from a user perspective
(because users want to display things the way they prefer),
and it's proprietary. -tom
\_ not to mention linux and solaris, whose builds are also slow,
but until very recently lagged behind in versions and security
updates, etc. Also, flash folks appear to do the same thing
many bad web developers do and assume everyone runs their browser
fullscreen at 1600x1200+ resolutions
\_ web devs are stupid. 95% love coding with constants. the
concept of % is foreign to them.
\_ It's not part of his monopoly. |
