hmmm.  the chrome that I have is running on my ubuntu linux
laptop.  [i've switched to linux because it was easier to upgrade.
now, I dunno.  at any rate, when I was fully BSD, some N years
ago, there was no chrome... .   The only ++plus is that I
still know hoto hack code. :_)

SIMIoff topic. (I think)

Sorry but I am envious that you have a chrome working.  I am stuck with the
===>  chromium-25.0.1364.172_1 has known vulnerabilities:
chromium-25.0.1364.172_1 is vulnerable:
chromium -- multiple vulnerabilities

WWW: http://portaudit.FreeBSD.org/bdd48858-9656-11e2-a9a8-00262d5ed8ee.html

*** [check-vulnerable] Error code 1

Sorry but I'm not sure which is worse, having it or not having it.

Again i apologize.

OT, i think...

2013-05-12 Thread Gary Kline

guys, 

if   goog had their browser from BSD it would help big-time; I use one of the
zillions of linux distros for my desktop.  I dont have a bleeding edge
cell. just something to call the cops or "access" [ small bus with wchair
lift.]  only have one hand, so cant easily hold cell and "type" blah * 3.

SO, the upshot is, since I use firefox mostly, and chrome, rarely, I got a
bit befuddled tonight trying to read an old philosopher's translation on
chrome.  I got to fess-up.  reading on the screen is vastly easier than
getting out a REAL book  and paperweights, and taking off my eyeglasses,
&C!  tonight, I figured out howto enlarge the font and bring up the book.
--i read "the prince" by nick whatever.  this on google's browser.  it
took awhile before I realized that I wasnt hearing the words!   yes, the
speaker in the circle [[upper right]] read aloud   and I could glean
that much more by reading with eyes and ears.  ===but=== is there some
magic I ca n use to do an "All", and then fire off the text-to-voice?


[[[the following is interesting only if you're into art schopenhauer.  
his works were not correctly xlated until {i think} 1954.  I bought the
p'back of his *Parerga and Paralipomena: A Collection of Philosophical
Essays*.  I never read it.  google has it, and I suppose I could cough pup
$whatever.  but only if they got their tts stuff working without me having to
mouse 600+ pages or whatever it requires.  ]]]


anybody know howto make this All menu cmd work in chrome?  in ffox, it's
a simple edit->control-A

thanks much,

gary
