Shockwave Player versus Snow Leopard - versiontracker2007
"(out-dated) 32-bit mode"Right. Because suddenly everything that was 32-bit is now obsolete and useless. You nobs and your 64-bit hard-on.
64-bit lets you access 8GB or more of RAM. What websites are you visiting that you simply must have Safari able to access that much memory? Could you even tell the difference between 64-bit and 32-bit modes? I seriously doubt it, but it would bother you just because you would want it to bother you. That hard-on again.
You do realize what the slowest component is in the equation? Your internet connection. Snow Leopard won't make that run any quicker. Geez. People who don't understand technology at all.....
Take a cold shower.

Shockwave Player versus Snow Leopard - Paradoxial
What I realize is that many of my more up-to-date plugins are now running in 64 bit on my browser. If I go into 32bit mode, they don't work. And I care about them more.I personally don't care about 64bit, 32bit, or16.7bit. I care about compatibility between components, which this breaches.

Good point. Hopefully Adobe will update. It took them a while to get "Universal" too...Wednesday, November 04 2009 @ 02:59 AM PST

If I've been running without Shockwave since I upgraded to 10.6, then I apparently haven't noticed nor needed to. So if they won't upgrade to support modern technologies, I guess I won't be needing Shockwave anymore.Reply to This
