This may be near the top of the most ridiculous articles I’ve read in a while.

So ridiculous, in fact — That it has encouraged me to post about it.

So, according to Matthew Garrett, disabling your flash player will help you save lots of energy, so disable it! He complains that when he visits myspace, his machine gets overloaded.

Well, Matthew — 2 things:

1. Get a faster computer.
2. Stop going to myspace, that site sucks by itself, aside from Flash

I’ve been in several debates and discussions with people who just do not like flash for their own reason. In most cases, their argument is legitimate, and I just don’t share their opinion. In this case, it is just a double whammy — not only do I disagree, but his argument is completely ridiculous.

Sure, saving power = good idea. But to go so far as to bash a specific technology so insignificant compared to other power-hungry things, it just seems really bizarre & far fetched to me.

Ok, I’m done. I feel better now.

Saw this the other day and laughed for a good 10 minutes…
