1) What is your...

screen resolution: 1024x768x32bpp

operating system: windoze 2000 pro / debian 3.0

web browser; ie 6 / mozilla 1.something

browser's Javascript handling: usually enabled; sometimes disabled if i need to browse an annoying site in ie / enabled with pop-ups disabled in mozilla

browser's cookie handling; default ie setting / default mozilla setting

connection speed; ~700kpbs cable

2) - flash is ok if used in right amounts (not too much);
- whole sites in flash are generally annoying;
- hate sites that brake the back button by doing a javascript/meta forward (its sooo annoying);
- hate sites that are made to look nice but have no actual content to be found (this especially with flash sites) unless they are web-tech demos;
- hate sites that put stuff in browser status bar
- fixed width sites are ok as long as they don't exceed my screen resolution :-(
- frames aren't bad (if done properly); iframes are no good; grrrr
- "W3 what? Who cares?" <-- i do; but not THAT much...
- pages with high contrast backgrounds especially those with colors in common with foreground colors are possibly the most annoying web pages ever devised
- pages that have so much stuff as to make the vertical scroller bar too small to aim at for a click and drag are bad
- pages that use javascript for alerts/prompts are not good (unless its for form validation; which is still kind of annoying, but not as bad)

3) I do not know many first sites; although i see people like the official first site; i think its navigation is kind of confusing so its no good; and recently they had a stupid flash intro thing which i would have never expected to see on that site

I really really don't know many first sites other than this one and the official one so I can't really list any good ones (although chief delphi site is certainly nice)
