Q: – I shoot underwater with a TTL strobe that does not allow you to set flash exposure compensation. How do I set fill flash with this set up?
Let's assume that you have an N80 body in an underwater case and are using underwater TTL strobes. Here you could set flash exposure compensation from the N80 body (assuming the case let you access that control). I'd tend to set the N80 to Standard TTL if I wanted to fiddle with flash levels, though, as in balanced fill-flash modes you don't know what compensation the camera is already adding (i.e., you'll only get repeatable results with Standard TTL).
Q: – Is everyone required Flash Player plugin?
No because they do not like "blinking things" on their screens, some users choose to disable or not install Flash Player.
Q: – Can some organizations block Flash movies from being received through the Internet?
While this is partly motivated by fears of Flash viruses and Flash hackers, the greater motivation is disciplining staff.

Do not be surprised if your employer chooses to implement a ban of Flash at your office.
