Flash Cookies

Via Slashdot, a post about flash cookies, warning us that they are silent privacy killers. The author found out that the Adobe Flash Player maintains proprietary cookies called Local Shared Objects, and that they have the capacity of storing 100KB of data. Further, these cookies are quite cumbersome to remove, although I'm a Super gives some instructions as how to do it. Adobe also provides us with a way to remove them on the Adobe site.
