Oh, I hate Flash

This is the second time in two days that I have found a gem in Google Code.

Flash is one more layer to penetrate to get the stuff I am after.

There are several Firefox add-ons to bypass Flash but I found one command line script that does the job flawlessly. I can even schedule it for the 3:00AM-6:00 window  when Hughes gives me a break from the FAP.

You can use this in Windows but it is so much easier in Ubuntu. If you do get it running in Windows left me know and I will refer you as an ubergeek to anyone needing Windows help.

That is a really nice video for anyone but avowed fanatic atheists.
