The issue now is solved in Germany, everybody who has got a residence is forced to pay for television, even if s/he won't and/or can't watch. Exceptions are rare, e.g. some handicapped persons don't need to pay. Before the law was changed they tried to get money from computer users too, but many people, including me, successfully fight against this, so they didn't get money from us. I really don't watch scripted realty and all that high-class crap. One assumption of the former administration was, that everybody does own a mobile pone with media players. They didn't believe me, that I even don't own a mobile phone without a media player. The evidence you want to know, doesn't help you. "NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide security backports to Flash Player 11.2 for Linux." - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=JZEFT "latest versions are 11.7.700.224 (Win), 11.7.700.225 (Mac) and 11.2.202.291 (Linux)" - http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html The day when Flash Player for Linux will be too outdated is near.
