Oh, I see what you're saying... You're worried that some dinner party guest might log onto your computer and fill your root partition with insecure daemons? Not a problem -- how many Linux users host dinner parties? Maybe if we were using Windows 7 this would be an issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cX4t5-YpHQ (it's real, sorry, only watch if you have a strong constitution)
For the record I agree: it seems utterly daft to have this enabled by default. Did we forget the lesson from RH6 having a bunch of unnecessary daemons (read: breakin vectors) enabled by default?

Hm, Gnash used to be able to cope with some youtube videos, but recently I have had a zero success rate. Not that it is killing me, but still... Anyone else?

They switched the default player to Flash 10, but I've still been able to see success by clicking on the icon that opens the video in a new window. For some reason, that video will run while the one on the page will not.

Flash works so poorly on my system that I use youtube-dl and watch in mplayer. Probably there's a firefox extension to do this more transparently.
