CD Players/Recorders Buying Guide
Despite the popularity of Mp3 players, iPods etc, CDs are still the dominant form for the way we listen to our music. They've been around for quite some time, some companies have tried to replace them with other technologies but have failed, let's face it, CDs are here to stay for some time to come.
There are any types of CD players and CD recorders out there on the market today, they range from basic inexpensive models to fully featured, and rather expensive ones from several companies. The fact that many companies are still producing them and even coming out with newer versions just goes to show that CDs aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
There are two basic type of CD players out there Single-Disc and Multi-Disc, they're basically the same thing really, just as their names suggest, one is use for single CDs and the other can hold multiple CDs for you. When it comes to features, usually the basic feature set of both types is the same.
Single disc CD Players though are becoming more of a rarity since most DVD players can play CDs, so most people will opt for the DVD player version to have both abilities in one device.
Built-In Features:
Just like your portable CD player or in-car player, with stand alone CD Players you've got the ability to do quite a few things, but of course the stand alone versions do offer a bit more options to the end user.
Play Intro:
I'm sure everyone knows what this is, it's the ability to play a few seconds of each song on the CD, this is great if you don't know the name of the song you want but know what it sounds like.
This one is self-explanatory, it allows you to repeat a song, but some players allow you to select certain songs to have repeated, if this is an option you use make sure to check to see what kind of repeat the player you want is supported.
Random or Shuffle:
This is also very self-explanatory, hew player will just randomly play songs from the discs or discs inside.
Custom Programming:
This more refers to multiple disc players, but some will let you customize playback with discs or songs.
MP3 Compatibility:
Some CD players will have the ability to play MP3s as well as standard CD audio, but not all. So if you desire this ability make sure it can do it.
Remote Control:
Most all will come with a remote control, but you want to look for one that is easy to use, and has the most often used buttons in an easily accessible place. You'll also want to check to see if the remote supports or controls the features you want it to. Some can also come with a back light as well which is great for when you're playing music in the dark, you won't be fumbling around trying to figure out which button is which.
You can have several types of outputs on CD players, like digital, coaxial, or optical, what you'll specifically need will depend on your existing setup.
Some players will come with inputs as well, and this usually pertains to CD Recorders specifically but CD players can have them too. Just like the outputs, you can find several types of inputs as well.
Headphone Jacks:
Most players will come with at least one headphone jack, but many can come with two so if you wish to share your music make sure the device has more than one jack.
Other Features:
Depending on what you need there are other features you might be interested in like Tempo Change Functions, Pitch Control, Built-in Microphones, External Microphones, Speed Controls, built in Equalizer and many other choices. Of course the more advanced features you need the more you'll most likely end up paying for a product. Most of those features listed are available on high end and professional use units, but sometimes you can find them on lower end units as well.
Some units, especially the multiple CD players can come with keyboard inputs so you can hook up a standard keyboard to it to help you input information about the discs easier. This is a very nice feature that makes inputing information much easier.
CD Recorder Specifics:
CD Recorders will have the same features as CD players normally but there are added things that you can find on them.
Hard Drives:
There are many CD recorders available with integrated hard drives so you can rip your music to it and listen that way, or burn from the hard drive to a CD.
Some recorders have editing features built in, like creating table of contents, titles and projects.
Most recorders will record to CD-Rs, but some will also record and erase CDRWs as well so you can keep using the same CD over and over, as your music tastes or favorites change you can just change the disc to suit your needs. This is a great feature to have, but remember though not all players can read CDRWs, so if this is an appealing option make sure what you want to play you homemade discs on can read CDRWs.
Just like the CD/DVD drive in your computer the speeds of the drives in stand alone CD Recorders will vary by price, model and manufacturer. If speed is something you desire then you'll want to check for the speeds of both CDRs and CDRWs in the specs section of the product.
As with any product the one that you choose will be specific to your own needs, look around and decide what features you need and will use most. While having the ability to hook a keyboard up is nice, if you only use the feature once or twice is it really worth the added cost?
When you're deciding on a product always check out the features and specs to see if it's what you want and need, and one that will work with your existing system.
If possible go and see the unit in person, see how easy it is to use, and how well it is made. Seeing the unit in person isn't always an option so the next best thing is places like TestFreaks that have comments from actual users who own the products, end consumers can tell you a lot about a product and how well it works. Of course check online and even offline in audiophile magazines as well for reviews of products, here you can learn quite a bit, they've usually got many detailed pictures and of course their opinions of the products and how they work.

Exercise is a cornerstone of good health—but how much do you need?
First, let's consider how exercise is defined. It's the same as physical activity, or any movement that causes your body to work harder than usual. Experts divide exercise into two types: aerobic and muscle strengthening.
This type of exercise works your heart and lungs. It can be of moderate or vigorous intensity. If you are new to exercise, start slowly and work your way up to a more vigorous level of activity. Examples of moderate exercise are brisk walking, water aerobics, and pushing a lawn mower. Vigorous exercise includes jogging or running, swimming laps, and playing singles tennis.
You can monitor the intensity of your workout by checking your heart rate. Your target heart rate—the level you want to aim for while exercising at a moderate intensity—is 50 to 75 percent of your maximum heart rate. Find your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220. Multiply this result by 0.6 to find your target heart rate.
A 40-year-old woman, for instance, has a maximum heart rate of 180 (220 - 40). Her target heart rate for a moderate-intensity workout is 108 (180 x 0.6).
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says you can build muscles by lifting weights, working with resistance bands, doing pushups, or doing yoga. You can also build muscle by digging or shoveling in the garden.
Your strength-training workout should include all the major muscle groups: legs, hips, back, chest, abdomen, shoulders, and arms.
Adults between ages 18 and 64 should aim for a minimum of 2.5 hours a week of moderate-intensity exercise, or 1.25 hours a week of vigorous activity, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) says. You can also combine amounts of moderate- and vigorous-intensity activities.
You can break your exercise time into manageable chunks—such as three, 10-minute walks over the course of a day. It's best if you spread your exercise over most days of the week.
The HHS says that you gain even more health benefits by exercising longer—increasing the total to five hours a week of moderate-intensity exercise or 2.5 hours a week of vigorous exercise.
Strength training should be done at least two days a week.
Adults older than age 65 should follow the adult guidelines above, if possible. The HHS says older adults who have chronic conditions that limit their activities should still be as physically active as they can. In particular, older adults at risk for falling should do exercises that focus on balance.
Children and teens, ages 6 to 17, should get a minimum of an hour of physical activity every day, the HHS says. Most of kids' daily exercise should be aerobic, and at least three days a week, it should be vigorous. Children and teens should also participate in muscle- and bone-strengthening activities at least three days a week.
You can build physical activity into sedentary situations:
Desk jobs. Take the stairs, not the elevator—going downstairs counts, too! Walk to a coworker's office rather than phoning or emailing. Take a 10- to 30-minute walk during your lunch hour. Get up, stretch, and move at least once an hour.
Autos. Walk instead of driving for short trips. When driving, park farther away from your destination instead of looking for the closest parking space. Wash the car yourself rather than using an automatic car wash.
TV. Work out on a stationary bike or treadmill while you watch television. Replace a half-hour of viewing each day with exercise or exercise while viewing a favorite program.

Phils welcoming Angels in East-West matchup
Lefty Lee gets call in opener vs. Shoemaker, Halos' phenom
When the Phillies return home on Tuesday, they'll face one of the game's best young hitters -- one of its best hitters, period -- in a homecoming of sorts.
Mike Trout and the Angels arrive for a short two-game set at Citizens Bank Park, which sits about 40 miles from Trout's hometown of Millville, N.J. But the Phillies won't be focusing on just one hitter.
"What really impresses me is his poise," Phils first baseman Ryan Howard said. "He handled everything, including all them media there, really well. But we as a team need to regroup, pull together and get ready for the entire Angels team, not just Mike Trout."
The Phillies fell short of completing a sweep over the Mets by blowing a three-run lead and losing in 11 innings on Sunday, which probably made Monday a good time to enjoy a day off and look forward to a steady starting pitcher toeing the rubber.
The Phillies will turn to veteran Cliff Lee to open the Interleague series with the Angels, and although he's coming off a not-so-good start, there's reason to believe that was a one-time thing.
Lee allowed five runs in the seventh inning on Wednesday in Toronto in a 10-0 loss to the Blue Jays. However, in his prior six outings, the left-hander allowed three or fewer runs and pitched at least six frames in each.
The Angels are finishing up an oddly scheduled road trip -- they had four games in Toronto, a series that ended with a 7-3 loss on Monday, and two in Philadelphia. They'll barely blink and be gone in Philly, considering they have a night game Tuesday and a day game Wednesday before heading back out West.
Matt Shoemaker will take the mound in the opener, Angels manager Mike Scioscia announced on Monday. Hector Santiago was originally slated to get the ball at Citizens Bank Park, but he was removed from the rotation after seven starts and will pitch out of the bullpen. Santiago is 0-6 with a 5.19 ERA.
Shoemaker will now audition for the vacant spot. The 27-year-old is 1-0 with a 6.31 ERA in five Minor League starts with Triple-A Salt Lake this season. Shoemaker made three relief appearances for the Angels earlier this year, pitching 6 2/3 innings over three appearances for a 4.05 ERA.
Angels: Options at closer
Scioscia confirmed on Sunday that Ernesto Frieri and Joe Smith will continue to share closer duties for the time being depending on the matchup.
"If we have some matchups in the eighth, we are going to look at it one way, and if we have some matchups in the ninth, we can look at it a different way," Scioscia said. "I don't think anything has changed from what we talked about a week ago."
Ideally, Scioscia said, Frieri would be the ninth-inning man. But he also explained that the club needs to return some key relievers from injuries to provide the club with further depth before that happens.
Phillies: Rollins moves upward
Jimmy Rollins logged one hit on Sunday to move within 25 of setting a Phillies' all-time record. Currently, he's fourth with 2,210 hits, and he's behind only Hall of Famers: Mike Schmidt (2,234), Richie Ashburn (2,217) and Ed Delahanty (2,211).
Rollins tops the charts for Phillies' switch-hitters, both in hits and home runs (203). Double-play mate Chase Utley is also surging, batting .400 (8-for-20) during the recent road trip with four RBIs over four games.
Worth noting
• Starting Tuesday, 15 of 18 of the Phillies' games will be played at home. So far they've had only 15 home games, third fewest among the 30 teams.
• The games with the Angels are the last Interleague contests the Phillies will play until Aug. 5, when the Astros visit.
• Angels rookie C.J. Cron, who debuted May 3, has gone 10-for-24 (.417) in his seven games this season.
• Good news for the Angels? The Phillies, perhaps inexplicably, perform much better on the weekends than during the week. They are 8-16 from Monday-Friday, and 9-3 on Saturday and Sunday.

Mouth-watering truffle selection from Charbonnel et Walker and like all of Charbonnel's products, the Marc de Champagne collection is very attractively packaged, making it an ideal chocolate gift (especially when visiting parents).Easy to use website made ordering chocolates online a doddle and the packaging was superb and worthy of presentation itself. I can't recommend their chocolate selection or the Chocolate Trading Company enough.

Sorry but with all due respect, I think that's the major problem recently with not just Nintendo but also with Sony & Microsoft.
The gamers of today who grew up with games since the NES days have this demand now for perfection with everything, and want everything they could ask for with a snap of the finger, 1st or 3rd party.
I wish for certain games to be made in the future, but constantly attacking, berating and insulting said companies for not having it for them right then and there is wrong and a waste of time & energy.
We can tell Nintendo what we want & wish for, but can't we just do it without threatening to lunge a sword in their throats?
I agree with everything you're saying. I just strongly disagree with the basis thereof. That being, that the people who are the most demanding and irrational are people who have been gaming since the NES era.
By and large, most of us (myself included) old folks who have been gaming since the NES (or even Atari 2600 for that matter, as it was my first console), I would have to say, are obviously older, and also (not universally so) more matured as aging adults. I think beyond the age factor, you also have the fact that we grew up in the 80s and early 90s, in an age where the internet wasn't established, where you couldn't just have walkthroughs and info and "news" at the snap of a finger. We grew up being patient, waiting sometimes years for a game (Mario 3 comes to mind).
Again, I cannot speak for everyone "my age", who has been playing since NES or even before, but I do feel confident in stating that I think it fair to say, most of the whiniest, most immature, and most impatient gamers, are in fact from younger generations. Dare I say it, even people whose first console was the Playstation, or N64, or maybe even GC or PS2 or Xbox for that matter. Teens and very young adults, who have grown up in an age where they DO in fact have the internet at their disposal, where they have what I call the "Gamestop Culture", pre-ordering these mass produced, overrated "AAA" titles, beating them, trading them in for the next, wash rinse repeat. A generation of gamers who have grown up on the idea that graphics are super important. You go back and look at my generation, again, speaking personally, my first gaming experiences were Pac-Man and Dig Dug in the arcades, our crappy Tandy computer, and then Atari 2600, with my beloved NES coming into my own personal possession (we were poor), MUCH later. That doesn't exactly scream "graphics whore". I grew up with blocks on screen, and limited colors, and bleeps and bloops. Of course I appreciate great HD graphics, and I also fully realize that there are in fact gamers my age who are some of the worst graphics whores (I know a couple).
BUT, by and large, I stand by my notion, that I'm willing to bet most gamers my own age, from that 80s era, have more patience, and a greater appreciation for games as they are in general. I think it would make sense that a majority of the more impatient, graphics focused, entitled "this company OWES me" people, are in fact kids, or barely beyond such. To be fair, I've met very young gamers who are the exact opposite of that, and care to go back and learn the history and play the classics, they really appreciate gaming. And that is awesome. But most snotty "fanboys" that I see, and I think that attitude in general, kind of lends itself to youth.

Economics and environmentalism are types of modern religions. So says Robert H.

In case you haven't heard, SoCal has been under "storm watch" for the last couple of weeks, which means… it has been raining and the fishing has been lousy.
I know that sounds trite to those of you reading this after shoveling three feet of heavy off the driveway and it's easy to think we are just a bunch of pansies getting worked up over a little bit of water, but the reality of the situation is that despite what the old song says or what the common perception of SoCal weather is… it rains here and it rains hard – just not often. The standing state record for maximum rainfall in a 24-hr. period (occurred in 1943 just a few miles from downtown L.A.) topped out at 26.12 inches – yeah, over an inch and hour for 24 hours straight. That's a lot of water for anywhere.
Now I'll grant that comparably speaking, SoCal winter temps ARE milder than most other areas of the country – rarely has anyone had their nipples freeze solid just from removing their shirt at a local football game, like say, in Green Bay. And the fact is that the lowest recorded temperature for downtown Los Angeles, 28 degrees, has only occurred three times since recording began in the 1870's, but unless you've lived here, it would be wise not to underestimate what our cold, wet, winter storms can do.
Every couple of years, and this appears to be one of them, we experience a series of truly wicked storms that hammer the region in a short, intense period of time and generally jack things up in a pretty royal fashion.
Forget about trying to fish the L.A. River. They've got helicopters plucking stranded transients and wayward German Shepherds from mid-stream bridge abutments while uprooted trees and battered shopping carts go tumbling past at some 35 miles per hour – all stuff that can seriously hamper the back cast or foul the drift.
Nor is it a good idea to surf fish right now. The coastal waters are a surging, pounding, fetid brew of bacteria, toxins and pollutants sprinkled with many tons of urban debris that inundate and impale the beach, and anyone fool enough to be standing there, with each set of breakers.
Likewise, most of the local urban lakes resemble bogs more than lakes due to the floating mats of leaves and half-submerged tree limbs washed into them from the surrounding park spaces. Better to tie on a piece of yarn and practice casting in the now clean grass then to risk nicking the new fly line on all of the debris in the water.
Yet, as they say, this too shall pass. In fact, in the big scheme of things, SoCal is doin' all right. Sure, the rains are here and it is inconvenient from the urban angling perspective but there's really nothing to complain about…except, maybe my friend, Ray.
You see, the other night when we finally got a break in the weather, Ray and his wife began texting me while I was attending a very important function. It seems that they had snuck off to Anaheim Lakes to take advantage of some heavy stocking there last week.
The messages went something like this:
"just got #7"
"oop, make that #8 & #9"
"Hot chocolate & fire…opp, bobber movin' again"
It turns out that the privately operated lakes at Anaheim Lakes had come through the storms quite nicely and have (make that had – unless those text messages were bogus) some sizeable stocked Rainbow Trout that are hitting top and bottom.
So, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining and it looks like Anaheim Lakes might be the silver lining for the SoCal urban angler during this stormy season.
As for me, I'm hoping that the silver lining to all my goading and chiding of Ray and his wife is that we get to taste some of that trout.
I love this addiction called urban fly fishin'

It's easy to fall into a dating routine of dinner and the latest movie. With just a bit of effort, though, you can break free of the dating tedium and do something that is as unique as you are.
On a first date, you'll want to learn as much about your companion as you can, without having to pepper your date with direct questions. Try to put yourself in situations where your companion's character will emerge with his or her actions.
Doing physically demanding tasks, spending a day helping others, playing character-revealing games, getting out of your comfort zone and letting your adrenalin flow will all help reveal who the real person is behind your companion's polite first-date facade.
The better you get to know your date right off the bat, the more time you will save in the long run.
No. 5: Physically demanding volunteer project
If you were to choose a background song for our first first-date idea, it would have to be "Let's Get Physical."
For this unique date, you volunteer to work on a physically demanding project. You might choose to join a group, such as Habitat for Humanity, that is helping to build or repair someone's house, or you could join a project clearing weeds or trash from a city park or helping to build hiking trails in a wilderness park.
Even if you and your date don't click, you won't have wasted your time. You'll have the satisfaction of knowing you contributed to your community, and you'll also have gotten some fresh air and a good workout.
And if you do like your date, even better. You'll have a chance to see what your date looks like in a sweaty, clingy T-shirt.
No. 4: Play a game of Monopoly
For this date, bring out the old Monopoly set and play a game. What makes this date unique is that the game is only an excuse to closely observe your date's behavior.
Is your date excessively eager to buy up all the railroads? Does he pout if you buy a property that he wanted? Does she look a little too happy when you land on one of her expensive properties?
There are so many things you can learn about people by watching them play. Does he insist on lining up all the money into perfectly parallel stacks?
Worst of all, does your date cheat? If so, better to find out now before you've gone any further.
Don't use any shortcuts. Play the full version of the game. If, four hours into the game, you're still talking to each other, that's a good sign that you might be very compatible.
No. 3: Go silent
Pretend that a scientist in a white lab coat has directed you to go on a special kind of date.
On this date, you and your companion may not speak to each other or touch each other. All communication must be nonverbal, either through gestures or through your eyes.
By the end of the date, two things may happen. You may have gotten used to the lack of direct communication. If it feels like it's normal -- if it makes you feel like you're an old married couple -- than you better run. The first date is way too soon in the relationship to be falling into that kind of rut.
If, on the other hand, the moment you are allowed to talk and touch, you fall into each other's arms and start babbling away, you'll know that your date may be a keeper.
No. 2: Horror movie marathon

Braves must beat Kershaw to avoid elimination
LA turns to ace to close out Division Series at home in Game 4
LOS ANGELES -- The Atlanta Braves, a 96-win ballclub that had the best staff ERA in baseball, suddenly find themselves in the unlikely situation of having their entire season in the hands of Freddy Garcia. And he'll be facing possible Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw.
Garcia, a September callup who nearly hung 'em up when his career seemingly flat-lined over the past calendar year, will be on the mound when the Braves try to salvage this National League Division Series and their season in Game 4 on Monday night at Dodger Stadium (9:30 p.m. ET, TBS).
He'll be facing a Dodgers team that is tantalizingly close to an NL Championship Series berth, in front of an enraptured Los Angeles audience that believes in the magic and the Magic and the "World Series or bust" mentality that has taken over here.
Kershaw will be pitching on three days' rest for the first time in his career after his dominating seven innings and 12 strikeouts in Thursday night's 6-1 win over the Braves in Atlanta. He threw 124 pitches in that game, then cut back slightly on his bullpen session Saturday to preserve his arm and give manager Don Mattingly the option to pitch him in a Game 4 that would be either a possible clinching game or a possible eliminator.
By using Kershaw on short rest in Game 4, Mattingly still has No. 2 starter Zack Greinke on regular rest for a Game 5, if necessary.
Ricky Nolasco, who was originally slated to start, allowed 17 runs in 12 innings over his last three starts. His last start was Sept. 25, so he would have been starting with 12 days between starts, with only one inning of relief on Sept. 29 in between.
Three and a half months ago, Garcia was designated for assignment by the Orioles. A little more than a month ago, he was getting roughed up in a start at Triple-A Gwinnett.
But because they shifted Alex Wood to the bullpen and had Paul Maholm go down with an elbow injury, the Braves found themselves with a starter shortage as they entered October. Their only alternative, in the immediate, would be to pitch Kris Medlen on three days' rest after his less-than-stellar performance in Game 1, and Fredi Gonzalez had no plans to do so.
"I don't think it would be a good decision to bring them back short on a day, our guys," Gonzalez said. "So that's one of the factors in the decision-making process."
The good news for the Braves? Plenty of positives came out of Garcia's three September starts for Atlanta, during which he went 1-1 with a 1.83 ERA, allowing four runs on 18 hits with 16 strikeouts and four walks.
Beyond that, Garcia is the only member of this starting staff, which lost Tim Hudson in July, with something resembling a postseason pedigree. This will be his 11th start on this stage, on which he's gone 6-3 with a 3.28 ERA in past performances for the Mariners, White Sox and Yankees.
"You start looking at the rotation and see how young they are and how inexperienced they are, then you look at Freddy Garcia's experience, you look at his postseason starts and postseason innings, so you give him an opportunity to do that," Gonzalez said. "I think he knows how to maneuver himself through a Major League lineup. He's shown that this year."
Braves: The defense rests
Gonzalez has taken a bit of a defensive risk in his October outfield, giving Evan Gattis the starts in left. But B.J. Upton's sagging bat left him with little choice. Gattis misplayed another ball Sunday night, and so there remain concerns about the trade-off.
Asked if it's difficult to decide between the best defensive outfield and the best offensive one, Gonzalez said he believes he has the best of both worlds.
"We could play the best offensive outfield early in the game, and then we have the capability of improving defensively with B.J. or [Jordan] Schafer, depending on which way we want to go," he said. "I think that Gattis, you know he's going to get four at-bats. You don't know if he's going to get the ball hit to him in the first seven innings. So that's the theory that we go with him in the outfield."
Dodgers: What to leave in, what to leave out
Advance scouting is an essential element of the postseason, when no bit of statistical minutia or player tendency is too small for a scout to pass along, just in case. Perhaps the most impactful piece of advance work came in 1988, when scout Mel Didier, who had scouted the A's in the weeks leading up to October, made a note of Dennis Eckersley's tendency to throw a backdoor slider to lefties in 3-2 counts.
One of the most famous home runs in World Series history was a direct result of that notation, because Kirk Gibson put it into practice in Game 1.
Of course, not all scouting tips prove to be that helpful, which is why Mattingly and his staff have to decide what's worth focusing on and what's best left unsaid.
"We have to be able to take that in and decide what we give to the players," Mattingly said. "You don't want them getting out of their norm, per se."
Worth noting
• In Game 3, the Dodgers tied a franchise record for most runs in a postseason game (13), set on Oct. 5, 1956, in Game 2 of the World Series against the Yankees.
• Hanley Ramirez has already tied Steve Garvey (1978 NLCS vs. the Phillies) and Duke Snider (1952 World Series vs. the Yankees) for most extra-base hits by a Dodger in a postseason series, with six.
• The Braves scored their first seven runs of this series with two out.
• Jason Heyward's two-run homer in the ninth in Game 3 was his first career postseason homer.

Adobe rolled out a security update to their Flash Player yesterday and for Mac OS X users this update also integrates Gala -- their codename for H.264 GPU video decoding in Flash on Mac OS X. With Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76 on Apple Mac OS X there is now GPU video decoding enabled by default to offload more of the playback work to the graphics card, assuming you are using a newer NVIDIA graphics processor. This is coming after Adobe introduced H.264 GPU decoding in their Windows Flash Player 10.1 release, but they continue to shaft Linux users with video support...
I would be more happy for a fully working native 64bit version instead of youtube gpu acceleration.
Making the software decoding path faster would be very nice as well. It's slow as fuck compared to normal media players. And no, excuses like "Flash does more than a media player/solves another problem" don't count. Flash is a lot faster on Windows, even with software rendering.
Canonical should pick one video decoding API, block access to the other APIs within Ubuntu, and inform Adobe which API they'll be using for video acceleration.
Wouldn't it be better to bench mark the old and new flash on OSX
It's the perfect chance to show this site is more than just bitching
Flash sucks anyway. What support linux has from flash is enough until flash dies...
The unidentified portion is mostly Ubuntu users on Chrome, Firefox alphas and betas, and midori. The Debian portion is partially Ubuntu users on Epiphany.
75% of the linux desktop means 3 times the share of all competing platforms COMBINED-- and as we saw with the whole sound thing, if you provide ten developers with ten API choices, they'll all pick different ones for no good reason :P
Comment editing cuts out WAY too fast here.

flash flickering as hell on 9.11 catalyst... (compiz (off))
It doesn't work in Fedora 12 (no Xserver 1.7.x support).

It seems to be available officially now from ati/amd:
Just tried Alpha Blur in Compiz.. Activating the plugin didn't change anything for me
Strangely the leaked driver has an incremented version number above the official one... 8.671 and 8.672
I use the leaked one. If I use gaussian blur it works fine.
