I'd settle for a flag that disables the rainbow perms, it seems to be a common gripe. It's nearly a dealbreaker for me. But, that's personal preference - congrats on a great util.

Dan's saying that the political machine is so rigged that it's very difficult for a third party to succeed. He gets right down into the gory details of the electoral system, it's eye opening.

- The story of the world is largely a military history. For brutal facts, figures and movements and minimum pathos: http://strategypage.com
- Dan Carlin's Common Sense podcast is a relatively unbiased source for US politics.

Yep, it was death by neglect rather than violence. Shockwave was much more powerful than Flash for gamedev, it had true 3D baked in and fantastic audio and video support - in 2001. IIRC lack of a timely OSX version killed it.
Arguably it was the same neglect of the Flash plugin on Mac that partly caused Apple to deep-six iOS support, decimating Flash's marketshare.

I still haven't forgiven Madobe for killing Macromedia Director - a thousand hours of my work lost. It taught me a valuable lesson about the importance of Open Source - protect your investment from the caprice of a single corp.
