Patch your Flash! Version 19.0.0.226 (October 16, 2015)

<< < (2/5) > >>

Jibz:
I enabled click-to-play for plugins in Chrome a while back, and there aren't that many sites that require me to run flash anymore. The only slightly annoying thing is that you have to right-click and run the built-in PDF viewer as well.

tomos:
What do you do at work? Review old-fashioned non-HTML5 porn sites?  :huh:

eh, no :p :-)
This year I had to do a share of work using an interactive flash-based mapping site (has various layers that can be interchanged e.g. mapping from various times, etc. and shows location of archaeological sites). I mainly do archaeological illustration -- including some maps, with site locations, etc. (here's an older example).

mouser:
Thanks for the heads up.  :up:

A bit off topic, but it looks like it must be an interesting job!  The example you posted reads a bit like a map from a Tolkein book (probably because I don't know a lick of Gaelic):

  - Bóthar Mór
  - Lin Mór
  - Lough Atalia
  - The Green
  - Suckeen Bogs
  - Struthán Muire

I'm no expert, but can say that the Irish language has less in common with middle English (Tolkien's speciality) than, for example, Icelandic, or even modern English for that matter. Irish (Gaeilge/Gaelic) and Scottish Gaelic are very closely related. They are in turn related to other Celtic languages -- Welsh, Breton, etc., but you have to go back much further for their relationship to other European languages.

partial translations  - Bóthar Mór = (the) Big Road
  - Lin Mór = (the) Big Pool
  - Lough Atalia = anglicisation of Lough an tSáile = Lake of the Willows
  - Suckeen Bogs = Suckeen is an anglicisation of something, but I dont know what. The '-een' suffix was originally a diminutive: '-ín' as in 'Coleen' (wee girl), 'Bóthairín' / 'Boreen' (little road), or 'Tomáisín' [Tomawsheen] (little Tom), etc.
  - Struthán Muire = Mary's Stream
