Hi people,
For several years I've been grumblish about us open-src folks not
having flash (and whatever toys come with the package. A lot of
web site require (or insist that the require the latest flash.
Long-story-short -- and I nay be wrong about this -- but it seems
that the main use of flash is for animated ads. When I recently
began
portupgrding stuff, I found my 2.4Gh/1G RAM desktop almost
brought to a stop. top showed the kde-gnash was one culprit;
so: Is there a way of turning these animated ads off? firefox is
the best browser, but had no tts builtin, and having builr kttsd
and other speech apps, I usually use Konqueror.
I'd feel real warm+funny nuking the ads that churn my uprocessor.
gary
