You can access a settings manager by right-clicking a Flash object on a page, but how many people know that? http://www.grc.com/sn/SN-122.htm Generally speaking, Flash is useful for some purposes (though only because better solutions haven't been cross-platform) but more often it's a nuisance. Most people have better things to do with their time than be irked by cheesy ads and doubtless most of those who are technologically informed make use of Flash-blockers. I'd be happy to see it die -- unless it's Silverlight that kills it. Since Microsoft controls that, that would be out of the frying pan and into the fire.
