I can't help but feel dissapointment when I see howtos showing people how to cripple their Free-as-in-speech OS with freedom-restricting wares. If you've installed flash, please consider showing your support for the free software movement by uninstalling this player and finding a free alternative like gnash instead. If an alternative does not exist, then you might reevaluate how important the functionality truely is to begin with. In my case, I don't lose any sleep by missing out on this eye candy that's sprung up all over the web.
