Finally!

I'll be able to get rid of this deprecated 64bit flash that I've been using

Someone opened a bug for it already and it's known by the maintainer, so expect to see it soon in Portage:

I can personally wait for day or two after already waiting for so long... Patience is a virtue.

you can just throw the new libflashplayer.so into the plugins
directory ... and it appears to work just fine

Adobe® Flash® Player "Square" is a preview release that enables native 64-bit support on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows operating systems, as well as enhanced support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 beta.

We have made this preview available so that users can test existing content and new platforms for compatibility and stability. Because this is a preview version of Flash Player, we don’t expect it to be as stable as a final release version of Flash Player. Use caution when installing Flash Player "Square" on production machines.

The key new capabilities in the Flash Player "Square" preview are:

* 64-bit support — Native support for 64-bit operating systems and 64-bit web browsers on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows.
* Internet Explorer 9 hardware accelerated rendering support — Enhanced support for Internet Explorer 9 Beta. It takes advantage of hardware accelerated graphics in Internet Explorer 9 Beta, utilizing hardware rendering surfaces to improve graphics performance and enable seamless composition.

With the fact that Oracle owning java, I would have to say javascript bad as well.

javascript is bad, but in reality it has no relation to java other than also being a Cish lang.

marens · Post by **marens** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 10:34 pm

@warrens: To confuse you even more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhino_%28J ... _engine%29 . It lets you execute javascript in java (happy nightmares aidanjt) :D

warrens · Post by **warrens** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 11:10 pm

Ok, I confused javascript with being derived from java.

However JavaScript is a trademark held by Oracle.

64bit

now make it faster, use less resources, more secure (and free from actionscript

) and that could be the next big thing

regardless, it is impossible to overlook associating JavaScript with Java. and it brings doubt to any other stated opinion.

JavaScript being a trademark of Oracle in not opinion, it is a fact. So my original conclusion of JavaScript being bad is still valid, though the reason is different.

Good 'ol Adobe right on top of things. 64-bit consumer PCs have only been around for 6 or 7 years now.

Does it work on MIPS yet?

You do realize that Oracle has the trademark on just the name, right? The language its self, and reference implementation, is maintained and developed by Mozilla. Not to mention that the language could just be renamed to ECMAScript, because that's what it actually is.
