Adobe euthanizes Flash 10.1 for 64-bit Linux

“Ah, but if you visit the desktop forums, you’re told not to
discuss 64-bit Linux Flash, and you’re pointed to the 64-bit Linux
forum. And as a Slashdotter points out, the 64-bit forum has been
set to read-only. ‘Like in a Kafka novel,’ says another
Slashdotter. ‘I’m not sure whether I should laugh or cry… but it
reminds me of reading The Trial.’

“Meanwhile, others have no intention of crying. ‘That’s one
down,’ reads the first comment, as Slahsdot points to the death of
the 64-bit Linux player. ‘Now, get them to cancel flash on i386
Linux, then on MacOS, then Windows, and we’ll be all set.'”
