This image seems to imply that Mozilla Firefox is the most used web browser in Antarctica!! What was the intention of the original author? 117.5.13.245 (talk) 10:37, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's right. -- Finlay McWalterჷTalk 11:10, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

statcounter, from which the map data is derived, reports that 89% of its sample visitors whose addresses trace to Antarctica use Firefox and 9.8% IE. Geolocating visitors in various Antarctic bases will be pretty unreliable (and surely many will counted as being places in other countries) due to the exceptional nature of Telecommunications in Antarctica. -- Finlay McWalterჷTalk 11:17, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) At any one time there are between 1,000 and 4,000 people living in Antarctica, depending on season, so its not impossible that the most obvious interpretation is correct. There is a discussion of the status of Antarctica on this map at File talk:Countries by most used web browser.png. Gandalf61 (talk) 11:25, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I downloaded a flash game to my local hard drive so that i could play it without needing to go online (i have dial-up.... which, among other issues, makes this a lot better for me). It worked wonderfully for a while! I'm using flashplayer_10_sa.exe to play, which is a stand alone flash player. after a while i found that my game would get past the loading screen and then be blank. This became more and more the case until i found out a little trick. If i go to

"C:\Users\<My user name here>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects"

it will have a couple randomly numbered folders, inside one or both of which are the save files from my game. It seems that it was storing my data in different locations based on whether or not i was online. There are folders "#localWithNet" and "localhost". So what i did is i copied my save files between both folders.

This no longer seems to work. I can see save files in both the online and offline folder, and in both of those randomly named folders in the "#SharedObjects" folder.... but i can not play at all now.

This is really damned annoying. Is there any way i can fix it? Furthermore, can i use some other flash player that doesn't organize things in such a shitty unreliable way? Or is this issue the fault of the maker of the flash game and i cant do anything about it?

PLEASE HELP! lol. Thanks :) 172.163.134.132 (talk) 16:36, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is it remotely possible that the recent bans of Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Nexus are politically engineered -- that the US Gov. is trying to remove a competitor of Apple's from the its domestic consumer market? Thanks --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 22:23, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
