[UPHPU] shame on you Adobe

[cole at colejoplin.com]

This is old news. It's meant as a developer thing only, as in RIAs  
caching components. It's not tracking anyone's browsing data. There is  
no big brother here. Every year, people freak out and start new  
threads. The sky is not falling. Stop hoarding food....

As for the generic "let's remove Flash" reaction, I say, that's a fine  
personal choice. You can also write with sticks and rocks if you want  
to, or use an outhouse -- and I say enjoy that freedom. But for anyone  
using an RIA, the only thing you have to fear is this email thread.

I'm rather frustrated to find out that Adobe isn't honoring browser settings. I checked and my flash plugin has a history of all of the sites (that have flash) that I have ever visited even though I reset (clear cache and cookies) almost daily (for web   
>> development).
