I hate flash ads period. They're more annoying then popups ever were. At least many of em popups didn't have all that fricken flash animation and what not...
I just use ad block plugin in Mozilla. Forget browsing many a site without it anymore...
Of course with all this CPU usage given flash ads, there is another side to consider. Anyone on the site who folds for team nVnews

If the thing is set to fold all the time (even when the comp is in use), the more CPU time taken to process these flash ads, is the less CPU time that's given to folding@home, to help rack up the credits
