Wow, now that's not something I would not have expected to see.  Adobe  
apparently has released the first alpha version of its Flash Player 10  
technology for 64-bit Linux.  That would be the first native 64 bit  
version of flash for any platform (no 64bit Windows or Mac versions).   
I know it's not Free Software (as in speech, not beer) / Open Source,  
but I think this is a good thing when even proprietary companies take  
the time to do this (even if they've got a long way to go still).

Here's an short article on it:
