it's been 5 years or so that I constantly hear ppl saying "flash is dead", OK maybe, maybe not.<p>Apparently it's not dead enough, HTML5 didn't grow enough in those last 5 years to kill it, so what ppl are asking now ? "oh please Adobe kill it yourself"<p>and why ?<p>oh because this remote code execution flaw is unacceptable, humm OK, so following this logic we should kill any technology that get the same flaw right ?<p>How about killing Firefox ? Chrome ? Windows ? etc.<p>I mean that's what we are talking about here right, preserve ppl from security flaw by killing bad technology that constantly have flaw, well ... why stop at Flash only ?<p>ouh it took Adobe 48h to fix a security flaw, if your platform take more than 48h to fix the same kind of security risk it should be killed too, and there we look into the details and oh surprise, how long does it take Mozilla to fix a remote code execution ?<p>at least few weeks, well that's it we should all ask Mozilla to kill Firefox too.<p>Let's review the others now, Google with Chrome, Microsoft with Windows, etc.
I mean really we have the great opportunity here to ask every single big software vendors who ever had some security flaw in their software to just kill them because duh it's just keep happening and it is unacceptable.<p>No, no worries, don't even bother to fix them, just kill them.<p>Because everyone knows that only good secure software never have bugs or security flaws right, so let's do this logic thing let's kill all software that have flaws and only keep using those with no flaws.<p>Hahaha it is ridiculous, every single software out there have bugs, flaws, etc.
and among all that yeah sure you have big security exploits waiting to be discovered, but the important thing to understand is that it does concern everyone.<p>If you say or think it is only Adobe with Flash you are lying to yourself big time.<p>But fair is fair, if you want to lash out on Flash, yeah be my guest but then do the same for every other tech out there because they are all guilty of the same problems.<p>Software can not be bug free, it's like that, accept it and live with it.<p>You will always have a bunch of people trying to find those bugs and exploit them,
and as well you always have another bunch of people trying to fix those bugs.<p>But if your logic is just about "oh this piece of crap of software is ridden with bugs we should just kill it", then be ready to kill the next one, and the next one, and the next one, till there is no software anymore out there.<p>go here
