This is a public service announcement --- if you are running Flash 10.0,
make sure you upgrade to 10.1. Flash 10.0 has a horrible security
vulnerability:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-14.html
I have Google Analytics running on the ksummit2010 website, and in
addition to discovering that 59% used Firefox and 25% were using Chrome,
and that the most popular screen resolution was 1280x800 followed by
1280x1024, etc. --- I also was able to find that while 59% were running
Flash 10.1, over 40% of the visitors to the ksummit2010 web site were
running a vulnerable version of Adobe flash, which has a remote code
execution vulerability.
If you were visiting that site from your development system, which you
use to push changes to a subsystem maintianer, or even Linus, hopefully
I don't need to tell you what a bad idea it is to leave yourself open
and vulnerable like this. (This particular security problem with Flash
has been announced for almost 2 months at this point!)

Here too. How do I run (any) Flash-10.1 on a 64bit system (say FC12) without
actually reverting to a 32bit browser? Do I still get to install half of my
system as 32bit duplicates?

nspluginwrapper works well enough for me on Ubuntu, but this
isn't a kernel problem. (It seems to work better for me in Chrome
than ff but hey that's another problem again).
Since there isn't an announced date for if a 64bit version is going
to be available (only a fluffy statement that they intend to do one)
it's a case of having to move back to 32.

right now I decided to just run the 32bit flash through qemu-kvm either
a windows install or an x86_32 linux distro this way I can watch hulu
stream TV etc..
