information I got over the hols delivered to the works account re security vulnerability in adobe....

What is it?
===========
Adobe - Flash Player update available to address security vulnerabilities

What does it affect?
====================
Adobe Flash Player 9.0.48.0 and earlier, 8.0.35.0 and earlier, and 7.0.70.0
and earlier

What does it do?
================
Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Flash Player that
could allow an attacker who successfully exploits these potential
vulnerabilities to take control of the affected system. A malicious SWF must
be loaded in Flash Player by the user for an attacker to exploit these
potential vulnerabilities.

How do I fix it?
================
Users are recommended to update to the most current version of Flash Player
available for their platform - version 9.0.115.0 (Win, Mac, Linux).

Details of Specific Problem
===========================
The technical issues are described by the supplier and at the CVE website,
and can be found from:

- http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-20.html.

No idea if it's related or not, it just seemed odd that you're having these problems the day after I opened that email.....

You did read my question :)
If I only had read your answer to Shellbot before. I wouldn't have put in the link in mine :D

Oh btw, the why it's in the adverts ... just a small hint of me cause of the error when scrolling up or down reaching the advert (Ad Feedback) in the box in the banner on the right.

But I haven't had anything come up since Monday or so. Have been down sick so not online so much.

If you use the ad-block plug in to Firefox, you won't see so much of it.

I do know that it is being looked at.

Hang in there, Shell. They'll fix it.

by deepsand

However, as mine is today noticably improved, I expect that you should see a turn for the better shortly.

by tig2

That you take this back!

I am so tired of coughing. My throat is a scratchy mess and I am actually sore from coughing so much. Fortunately, the fever is gone and I'm getting a bit more sleep.

Don't know about you, but I get this in some variety or another every year. Winter just isn't my season.

They won't let me say *****, ***, ****'* ****, or *****-*********. Also, they aren't sending me the user activity cash bonus they promised me. And Beth bounced entawatabi. And Mae keeps slapping me with a shovel.

Nope, no sign of that particular misbehavior on my FF 2 client, but I have the Flashblock plug-in.

Non regular TR Members and those who are not IT Professionals. Despite what Rob is complaining about it's not an issue as the Professionals will have their computers updated to stop this from happening. :^0

Of course the Make Believe IT Professionals & Irish will not. :D

GG Happy New Year to you as well.

[i]Hope you drop all the good crystal in the move for that![/i]

Not a Chance in Hell. :p I'm not allowed to carry anything breakable. :D

Actually this will be the first time for a very long time that I've been here for a move I generally manage it to be interstate or otherwise away when the [b]Evil Deed[/b] needs doing. :0

But things are far worse [b]SHMBO[/b] has organized for the Kids to help. :_|

I'll just run away from Home for the peace & quite and leave it to the expert who likes moving. Actually it will be interesting to see if the Telco gets their act together and has all the services working. Somehow I doubt it will happen and then I'll have no Internet Connection either. :_|

As for the [i]Good Crystal[/i] it goes with the Silver which I try to get rid of. I haven't had much success up till now though as the more silver that I give away the more returns to breed in the house. I hate the stuff and people keep giving me more. :(

My Mothers Lousy sister insisted that I have some silver when she died as I had given her a Milk Container or something, a little thing that sits on a table and you pour junk out of. Apparently she was under the mistaken impression that I liked the stuff and more importantly that I liked her so I had given her the item that she liked. All I had done was when she remarked about it I asked if she would like it. She was drooling over the silly thing at the time so I gave it to her hoping that would be the last that I would see of it. So instead of getting rid of one piece I ended up with twenty more. :(

I couldn't even give them away to the family after her funeral and what was worse was that she had told everyone about the bit of junk that I had given her so now everyone gives me silver for presents. :_|

Silver is nasty stuff that needs constant cleaning you can always tell the Silver that I own it's all black. Even [b]SWMBO[/b] drags it out once every now and then to clean it when I'm not around she insists that she needs to hide it from me to prevent me giving it away. :D

Then to add insult to injury my daughter is now refusing to take a car that she wants to buy off me so that's another thing that I have to move. :(

Now would you like some Silver? :^0

It's on a Windows Box and it needs to be updated every 2 Nano Seconds because of the High Security Level of Windows. Yea I know it breaks all the time and I expect it to break.

So when Windows Falls over because of a Update error all I have to do is re-image the system and not try to find out why it broke. I find Fault Finding Windows so Frustrating & Pointless. :D

But in answer to your Question:- No I haven't run into a problem like this but then again I don't use Windows. :p

So I didn't attempt to answer your question.

However I have noticed that XP Pro on a Dual Core box is very slow recently to open applications. My son plays games and has a box that I built for him with Windows on it and it's got really slow recently. When I re-image it the speed is back again so either he's loaded something onto the system that isn't nice or Windows is being Windows again. :(

by hal 9000

Request a Upgrade Mae's way. :0

Just walk in with a [b]Blood Soaked Shovel[/b] or other [b]Implement[/b] over your shoulder, loudly complaining about how hard it is to remove the blood dripping from the heads that you have tied to your waist and then smile sweatily and ask your question. :D

I'm betting the Upgrade will be done immediately without further conversation. :^0

After all you need to set the [b]Ground Rules ASAP[/b] or you will be taken advantage of. :x

Actually I'm currently hiding in my [b]Den of Inequity[/b] while [b]SWMBO and Her Daughter[/b] are packing boxes. I find it safer to walk away from them when they get together as the Wife is Bossy and the daughter is much worse. She's so bad that I no longer acknowledge that I had anything to do with her existence. :p

OH BTW I've been accused & am guilty of many things but [b]Behaving[/b] has Never Ever Been one of them. :D

I stopped reading CNet specifically because I spent more time restarting my browser after flash bloat crashed rather than reading the articles.

The TR pages seem to crash the browser less often though still at least once a week I'm reopening the browser and guessing at what forums I was reading at that moment.

Today has been good; no browser crashes yet.

I'm stuck with IE6 and whatever Flash the desktop guys have issued us. When I asked about the issue before leaving CNet I got the usual answer; "we develop for IE7 now and do not support IE6 or other browsers"

The other issue I get with TR is mixed sorting of the my workspace -> "updates". It happens less frequently these days but every now and then I'll check for updates and see forums listed with dates from days or weeks ago and out of cronological order.

I seem to be one of the few that see the issue. It's not browser cache and when I dig through the forums through other ways I find recently updated forum subscriptions that are not being shown.. very strange..

Outside of those two issues, TR's been working fine.

I can see no download buttons, and a varied mix of adds are not visable. In IE everything works fine. Occasionaly I get the weird proxy error leading to a double, tripple, or even quentuple post.
Other then that, I just have a small piece of carrot lodged in my sinus, a mashed in rear end (ON MY CAR! SHEESH!), and a screaming need for a coffee fix...

by shellbot

But if i were you i'd think about getting that bit of carrot looked at...

eewwwee nasty ]:)

by charliespencer

don't tell us how the carrot got there. I've been told a couple of places I could shove a carrot, but that wasn't one of them.

Since 1966, after having had bronchitis and mononucleosis simultaneously, I've suffered chronic sinusitis. Now that the pneumonia is relenting, I'm able to breath though my nose with noticeable greater ease.

Additionally, following a very bad summer cold in 1997 or 1998, I lost virtually all sense of smell. Now, that too has shown improvement, albeit a small one; no doubt my olfactory sensors are permanently and irreparably damaged. Still, as any improvement here brings with it an increased ability to [b]taste[/b], I'm grateful for it.

As for seasonal afflictions, I seem to be more given to summer colds than anything else. Winter, with its drier air, resulting in less sinus congestion, is the more tolerable season for me; assuming, that is, that I'm able to keep sufficiently warm so as to avoid the consequences of Raynaud's syndrome, a result of my having been severely frostbitten at the age of 12 or so.

How much of these improvements turn out to be lasting remains to be seen.

In the mean, take care; and, try some Scotch.

by tig2

You just don't understand- I can't train like this!

I've have chronic bronchitis for years. I have had the pneumonia inoculation but I understand that it only protects against specific types.

You may find that in time, your ability to smell will return- perhaps not in any robust fashion- but enough to taste. I have never heard of a permanent loss in smell but I have no doubt that it can happen.

Me? Since the lump scare, I find that being sick is a whole lot easier to deal with. I know the alternative.

Frostbite is some nasty stuff. I got it (mildly) on both hands a few years after I moved here and find that I don't dare go out in chilly weather without 40 gram Thinsulate gloves at a minimum. And I have 100 gram gloves at standby. And glove liners.

Bundle up! I'll email you pocket and toe warmers!

by deepsand

Now is the time for the former.

Humans would do well to learn from "lesser" animals how best to deal with illness.

Such creatures, when stricken, do not seek to do all that they might, but rather to do as little as is necessary. They go to ground, take to their beds, and wait.

Our ancestors knew the wisdom of such quite well. We today, on the other hand, have forgotten such, and demand that our bodies give all that they can, regardless of their health, with the results that, not only do we prolong our periods of illness, but frequently predispose ourselves to being prone to more frequent and more severe future illnesses.

In dealing with my recent bout with pneumonia, I did as other animals do. I ate when my body told me to; when it did not do so, I refrained from eating. When it told me to sleep, I slept, up to 12-14 hours at a time.

I healed rather quickly, without benefit or need of any medication other than a common analgesic, naproxen sodium. (In hindsight, I am reminded that I have not required any prescription medication since 1973.)

So, listen to your body, and be its very best friend. Training can wait.

all these ads are killing my blazing 26.4 dialup! :D

Pages take up to 10 minutes to load and sometimes don't load at all until I click refresh a couple of times. It would be pretty cool if the ad writers kept dialup in mind. :D
