Adobe Security Updates For Flash and Shockwave

Posted by timothy on from the if-you'd-rather-not-live-on-that-particular-edge dept.

This issue has been mentioned here previously. Don't expect an update to the equally flawed Acrobat Reader until sometime tomorrow, though."

  1. How do you fix that? Get Windows! apk by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I think this release is bad or something is wrong with my Debian.

    I downloaded
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb [macromedia.com] to upgrade my old Flash v10 in Debian, but I am getting problems: ...

    Errors were encountered while processing:
        adobe-flashplugin

    If I try to reinstall it, then I get the same results in the beginning.

    How do I fix this? Thank you in advance. :) - by antdude (79039) on Thursday July 30, @10:28PM (#28891709) Homepage Journal

    Get Windows... it actually WORKS there!

    APK

    P.S.=> This is a BIG why of the WHY most of the planet runs Windows NT-based OS', especially the more "modern" ones, like 2000/XP/Server 2003 - it just works, & everything pretty much runs on it also: Windows + Win32 API based software just works, & w/ more peripheral software + hardware than any other (& is the MOST used on the MOST USED HARDWARE PLATFORM for PC's &/or Servers there is, in x86). Now, because of that? You stand to gain employ all the more so, because it is so utilized from the home/end-user PC, to Departmental Servers, up thru to "Mission Critical/Enterprise Class" Server Back Office apps & applications - more surface area to gain employ in... apk
