stupid web tricks from smart companies...

The download page for getting Macromedia Flash...is a Flash page, meaning if you don't already have it, you aren't going to be able to get it. -- http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm

yes, i know there are other ways to get stuff, and one of them is bound to work...but you'd think with the ability to do feature detection nowadays, a page would recognize that flash wasn't there and forward you to a non-flash page, or even just having a stupid link on the page...

That's a great way to lose customers and reduce traffic to your company's website! Wow
