I'm happy to say I only recognized maybe 60% of the memes depicted therein. Depicted well, might I add.

I'd say I at least know 50%. Some of them were of celebrities I just have no interest in ;D

I just can't believe some of the extremely esoteric ones that I not only have seen but were included, like "House Of Cosbys".  :shifty:

Augh, flash keeps dying on me. Darn lack of Win7 64 support!

I have no idea what you are talking about... Flash 10.1 works just fine in 32bit IE, firefox and Chrome on my system

Well, it's a problem for me and a lot of others out there. It will load a little and then just stop or not load at all or just work fine.

VERY annoying.

I'm still using the 10.0 beta 64bit linux flash. sadly they have seemingly stopped working on ANY 64bit support what so ever on any platform. which is stupid.

Does yours freeze-up or not-start too? It's really frustrating.

Hmm, I used to see that a LOT with the 32bit plugin running under 64bit. The 64bit plugin is probably the most stable flash plugin I've used in years. Thats why I haven't "upgraded" to the 10.1 32bit plugin (which I'd have to run via nspluginviewer).

The main problem I have with it is some flash video players will not fullscreen properly. And one problem I used to have, was it'd some how lock up the gpu, but not the machine. Like it would stop drawing everything but the mouse, but things were still running. And I could switch to a vt and kill things.

Ugh, that sucks, on the upshot, when it's working it works great for me.

Ever since I switched to using flash block, and setting it to only load the plugin on demand, most of my problems with it went away.
