Three years ago isn’t it?

But yes, there seems to be something about about the beginning of June and rain… Who knew? (Except this time it was more than a bit of rain, of course).

you can also just use dpkg’s –force-all (or a more fine-grained force option) to install the 32-bit package on a 64-bit system

I just downloaded your adobeair_64-2.0.4.13090.deb
and installed it on my Debian 64 bit system. I am now watching live newscast regarding the tragedy in Japan. Thank you so much for your work.

I don’t know you but did have one question, if you can figure this out, why are the highly paid engineers at Adobe sitting on their hands as they lose customers on 64 bit systems daily. No flash for 64, limited support elsewhere.

Today the Sahara Casino in my home town f Las Vegas announced it was closing in May, a victim of lack of investment and the troubled times we live in. Adobe if they don’t get off their butts will find Youtube and Porn sites migrate to HTML5 in droves.

They think the past is forever, and it’s not.

This was a saver for me, though I couldn’t make it myself, got an error about a conf file or something.
But the one I downloaded from you worked great : D

Just because 99,9999999999999999999999999% of them are like that does not mean you should generalise.

Comment on Some justice for Bernadine Kruger by Olga McCrindle

Although it’s a breakthough, 12 years hardly seems like justice for what was a thoughtless and heartless act that resulted in the tragic death of a lovely young schoolgirl.

Comment on Obsessed?! That’s an awfully strong word… by Mpho

Huh? Is this a wind up? Black or white coffee is as descriptive as with or without milk. And, in fact, as coffee comes without milk naturally, surely black coffee is the Norm and either white or with milk is the alternative. Eish, people see race everywhere in this country!

However, I agree with the premise in the blog. It is hugely important for the time being that we understand “race” to simply be simply skin colour, because it is on the basis of skin colour that people are being positively or negatively discriminated against by the endemic racism in society. Upper middle class people of colour are, on a daily basis, discriminated against. Until the workplace, etc., demographics finally shift to reflect our true make up, as opposed to white men and then women being overly represented in positions of power and assumed to be “correct”, “law abiding” and “trustworthy” on the basis of their skin tone, then we will not be able to put in place a more sophisticated Normative correction system.

The Buchanan Boyes issue is different. They were courting favour with the JP. Hey they have previous on acting in a despicable manner (see the Cape Law Society v Berrange).

Comment on Invader(s of) Zim by Moeks

Well put! I agree. There is not political solution. And war is an exercise in futility – I hate war…
Prayer has proven to be the most amazing solution. I have started to pray for Uncle Bob: that he will bow his knee before almighty God. God put him in charge of Zim and if he does not stop mocking God, God will most certainly, take him out.
