To see the full screen video supported: open a command prompt, maximize it, then type "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl".

That's gotta be a first... Well, knowing Java enthusiasts, probably not.. But building hardware to fit Java is like building the horse to fit the cart.

Linux sucks a huge dick with hair on the shaft when it comes to delivering smooth video, but blame Adobe. That's cool.
Wow, some people should simply not touch computers. My mother managed to get smooth video on mediocre equipment + Ubuntu, no joke. You just admitted to being more incompetent than a 60-year-old woman with very little computer knowledge. But don't worry, perhaps you'll learn to tie your shoelaces one day as well. :)

I have used Core 2 Duo machines running MS Windows which show jitters with Flash, I come to assume that that is simply a feature of Flash.
