My company's firewall blocks your link on the basis of pornography. Do you have any idea why this is?
|
|
|
|
|
No I don't, there certainly isn't any porn on that page. It's just a joke picture, so you aren't missing out on anything.

LMAO 
I went home and accessed it. You're right I'm not missing out. I'm having a chat with our network admin first thing tomorrow about how this page got marked porn.

until all major browsers start supporting videos and animation  , i dont see flash going anywhere, besides alot of major websites use flash.another is Adobe and Googles "secret" partnership on making sure flash will never die (Rumors since 2010).

I am going to trot this out again. Yes, there are plenty of proprietary technologies upon which we already program that do just fine (ASP.NET, Windows yada yada) but still, everything else about the "internet" per se is based on standards -- i'm talking about the server emitted, browser hosted actual markup. So why should Flash or flash-like functionality be any different? It should, too, be open just on that principle alone.
So yes, Flash should die. I don't want Adobe to have me by the hoozits every time I need to program some functionality or nother.
Sincerely Yours,

If Flash died tomorrow, the world of the internet would be a safer place. Flash with all its constantly-discovered vulnerabilities is a huge and ongoing security risk.

That's the way it goes for so many programming methodologies.
If we're looking at safer... There's a fairly long list of suspects besides Flash. Java comes to mind. Just about all types of scripting formats can ruin your day if caught unawares.
In the end, the ultimate security failure falls into the programmer's lap. The programmer who creates the program that doesn't validate data. The programmer who doesn't anticipate there being 'someone' out there who tests every single bit of code looking for an exploit. Heck, you could journey all the way down the road to the language's creator.
Realistically, we can't possibly test for every hack vector. Even if it were possible to know and code for everything, the time involved would cause you to starve.
No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.

Hi,
You are of course assuming that all of the future HTML5 implementations with hardware accelleration will be more secure. 
I am not quite as optimistic... and anticipate the same problems... but rather than having a single point of entry... Flash; Soon we will soon see Webkit,Trident,Gecko,Presto vulnerabilities.
Best Wishes,

Competition is always good for technology. If there weren't so much competitiveness in technology we wouldn't of been where we were today. Not saying that I'll go over to the new competition but it would surely create a bit more urgency inside flash to pull up their socks and provide us the consumer with new goodies.

And I was thinking what is the alternative....
But then I understood...

Apple prohibits the flash web browser plugin but allows you to use Adobe AIR for iOS to build applications.
Being an app instead of a website makes sense on the iPad and iPhone. Users of those devices buys apps in the itunes store.
At least for the near term, using AIR to develop for iOS is really a great way to go.
AIR 2.7 lets you create the iOS package file (IPA) on a windows box and install it with itunes. Try developing on a mac and the iteration time is minutes not seconds. Develop and iterate with flashdevelop on a windows box and deploy to multiple platforms.
Adobe has taken care to optimize this version for mobile and for my money, I think as3 is a better programming language than Java or objective-C.

Dude I do support with you, flash make itself platform independent. Whats the different with JAVA 
|
|
|
|
|
There should be that option as well. 
I've always avoided flash, therefore I cannot rant around how bad it is or how soon it should be buried.
|
|
|
|
|
Condidering that you've avoided flash i would suppose you'd like the world to move to a better place, like anywhere but flash...
On the side, i don't like it that Steve says: NO. Lots of stuff just does not work on my iPad. I'm hoping HTML 5 will come to the resque...

Is this such a burning issues that we need a war over it? If it works and people want to use it why not?
|

I guess people don't want the risk of having to work / program with it!!! 
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station....

I guess there are valid arguments for both...yes and no. I guess the same can be said about VB6.
Just along for the ride.

Right. Although I agree with you here, I have been told that a lot of devs here (code project) use VB6 for legacy apps.

VB6 is still a very valid option for office development. We ported our product (Excel add-in) from VB6 to vb.Net and let me tell you dealing with the Office COM Interop is a real pain when you don't want to have to ship a different version of your application for every version of Office that's still in use. There are ways around it, but they are far from foolproof.
