< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 555 OF 748 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-17-15    chancho: The add on is only supported by opera 11 and 12. Apr-17-15    WannaBe: <chancho> Hmmm... I take it, that you can't update your Opera? Apr-18-15    chessmoron: <WannaBe> Opera's current version is 28.0. Apr-18-15    chancho: I have Opera 28. <The add on is only supported by opera 11 and 12.> that's the message I get from the link you sent me when I try to download it. Apr-18-15    WannaBe: <chancho> I just tried it on my IE, and I see that IMDB uses flash, (maybe check and see if you have the latest flash player from Adobe?) I did get a flash error message once the preview was over. It's possible that Opera did not render the film clip because of it? I may have to download and try it with an Opera browser... Apr-18-15    chancho: I downloaded Flash Player and IMDB trailers work on IE, but when I try Opera, no dice. Apr-18-15    WannaBe: <chancho> Hmmm... Okay, let me see what I can find out. Apr-18-15    WannaBe: <chancho> I just installed Opera, and when I go to imdb I get all text, no picture of any kind... Let me try a couple other ones. Apr-18-15    WannaBe: Hey, great, none of the browser are showing imdb.com correctly. Even IE... Apr-18-15    WannaBe: I can still see imdb.com using my home PC, which means one of the browser setting at work is screwing things up... I added a plug-in called NoFlash, which is suppose to control/allow flash activities. I think that is what screwed it. Apr-18-15    chancho: <WannaBe> I guess I'll have to go to IE for watching movie trailers in IMDB. If you can find a solution to the Opera issue, let me know. Thanks. I also noticed that on YouTube, when I choose a video, it shows a gray area and a play button on the video screen. I press that, and it goes black and says an error occurred. I refresh the page, press play, and then it shows the video. Opera stinks!

Looks like I'd have to remove that 2 Nobel Prize for Phyzics, 1 Pulitzer for Non-Fiction Historical-Drama, 2 Oscars for Best Original Screen Play Based on Actual Event (Short Film Category) and how I wiped out Magnus Carlsen 7-0 while blind fold 2-minute blitz from LinkedIn. Apr-25-15    Pyke: Hi <WannaBe>, please don't time out in our game!

Kc1 Be3 0-1 Apr-28-15    Pyke: Hi <WannaBe>, I think that 15. Be2 was a mistake. 15. Nc4 was better, attacking the Bishop on b6 and more importantly, covering d3 - and simultaneously allowing the Queen to cover your second rank. But White's position was difficult already. I think White would have had to challenge the Bishop on g4 earlier, by playing Be2. But that's just a guess. I will have to analyse in more detail. Also I didn't like all the pawn moves on the Kingside. But now, on to our second game! Apr-29-15    WannaBe: Back-to-back HRs and then another HR off R. Volgelsong, Dodgers 4, Giants 1, bottom 1!!!! Last night was rough for me, Dodgers lost 2-1 to them Giants (at home), Ucla lost to Long Beach State 2-1 (road. 13 innings).
