It isn't that they CANnot, it's that they DO not.  I suspect you
understand what people are telling you but are just being difficult on
purpose.  Perhaps I'm being too generous.

Actually, I've banned Flash from my computer.  I told my daughter that
she couldn't use the Barbie, PBS Kids or Polly Pocket web sites because
their mean owners used Flash.  Don't they know it will poison little
minds?  Likewise, we don't have a TV since all the wicked studios and
networks (not to mention the RIAA) make money from them.  We certainly
don't shop in stores that advertise on television.  I won't have
anything to do with them.  All those proprietary systems!  Where will it
end?  Oh, and we certainly don't eat in restaurants that cook on gas.
You have to draw the line somewhere.
