Back in August Adobe reversed its decision to stop offering an NPAPI Flash plugin for Linux and promised that version 23 would come Penguinistas' way real soon now.
At the time the decision was greeted with surprise, because Adobe had not thought to update Flash for Linux since 2012's version 11.2. But the company decided that Linux users deserved a security upgrade to the infamously hole-ridden product.
It turns out the company fibbed, because it's now delivered version 24 of the plugin to Linux users, making this a thirteen-version jump between releases*.
That's the same version number offered to Windows and Mac users, but the new Linux version lacks features found on those other platforms. Linux users willing to put up with almost-certainly-insecure** will therefore have to put up with missing 3D acceleration from GPUs.

Don't come crying to me when you get burned by some vendor who put weird non-standard English in a contract because "everyone knows what he meant".
There are reasons that standards exist.

Dear Sir or Madam:
Your contracts are written in standard English? Boy do you have some disappointment coming up in your life. I don't feel sorry for you though, since you are spamming this forum.
For those of you who have a low IQ: There is a huge difference between accepted society rules for an internet forum, standard English, phone text messages, doctorate papers, literature, office emails, and contract language. Source: I am not stupid and possess common knowledge.

The persona non grata would like us to use contract language here everyone. What you are proposing is contra legem. Fucktart. Is that a word - or is it "Fucktard" or is the proper usage "Fuck-tard". Please correct my spelling here - I don't know words.
