Thank you ThunderRd and Daerandin very much for your rapid assistance with my little problem. I'll give ThunderRd's command line entry a try. Crudoleum, I didn't post this yesterday. I used the command line entry that ThunderRd so kindly provided. Worked really well! Thank you both for your help!

Thank you very much, ThunderRd! If I execute the command line command that you've posted, won't it remove Flash from Chrome--as well as Firefox? I just want to rid Firefox of the ugmo Flash capability. It seems to do far less harm in Chrome than in Firefox?

Thanks for the replies, booman and Daerandin. I imagine that there's no easy way to remove Flash from Firefox. Is this a true story?

Whew, no need whatsoever to compare any benchmark of my box compared to yours. I'm lucky enough to have a little better Vidcard than you do. But an i7 at 4.885 Ghz vs my i5 at 3.2 Ghz? The embarrassment would be palpable! Not to mention that my processor temps on air greatly exceed your...

A bad security bug in Flash discovered yesterday. Should I use the Adobe update for ubuntu--for Mint?

So, I can keep my laptop case after tossing the more than ten year old Dell that's in it now? I used that laptop on one journey to Vermont ages ago. Hooked it up to "foreign" Wi-Fi with only a passing care about security. Never again, it was mostly useless weight and I've been hard wired to the...

Chips and especially CPU's are extremely interesting when magnified. AMD used to do this with their new processors, in aid of advertising them more effectively. Maybe Big Blue 2 did too?

Is there an important reason to say "tah-tah" to the culture of overclocking? As you are still serious about getting all of the performance that can be drawn from the components in your box--unlike the complacent ( guilty, your honor) and the ignorant, why censor your input to GamersOnLinux? I...

I don't really know why overclocking lost the great appeal that it had once upon a time. Maybe the "native" clock speeds of modern processors seemed so high compared to the 500 Mhz of long ago that some of us gave up the adventure of OCing. And it is an adventure, with the constant danger of...

As always, you know a lot more about the science and arts of all things computer related than your humble correspondent. I don't know how anyone can keep such a heavy load of knowledge inside their brain. Can processors really be "decapitated," would this be accomplished by shaving one ten...

Intel x86 CPU's hide another tiny CPU. These will eventually lead to virtually undetectable rootkit attacks. https://boingboing.net/2016/06/15/intel-x86-processors-ship-with.html

Empires do come to an end, and messily. What scares me the most is that many of the people we allow to be in charge are actually working toward a war with Russia. Everybody everywhere will lose or die in any WWIII we cause with the Russians.

Dang, I had to cut that post short because the forum refused to quit Italicizing after that old song's title. I mean, "parked in her rickety old garage is a brand new shiny red Super-Stock Dodge." Sounds sorta kinda like you, Sir Overclock. Yep, as there seem to be fewer people that bother to OC...

You genuinely beat the tar out of your box, at least compared to my "Mr Conservative" with my clock speed and how much I ask my machine to do at once. Whaddaya know, I think of myself as rather left leaning, but I run my machine like the old woman that lives next door to The Little Old Lady from...

But another screen shot says that your processor is running at super-duper ludicrous(trying to quote "Spaceballs") speed. If you're running that fast is it difficult to keep your box welded into place?

12000 BTU of processor cooling power? Don't some room air conditioners have a good deal less cooling capability than that? It warms me heart to discover that some folks still take their overclocking THIS seriously. How large is the count of Ghz in your machine that's obviously from Hades itself...

I hope we can evolve and put things right. Revolutions often end badly for all concerned--except for whoever/whatever replaces the powers that be. In their eyes only.

What an entertaining story, thank you for letting us in on it, ThunderRd! Would you be kind enough to let us know how sunsets look in The Land of Smiles?

It can't be that capitalism won over civic duty? Never, ever happens in our greatest of lands. ;)

Some credit must be given. In the pic of the steps the back of a warning sign plus two orange traffic cones guarding a pile of wood can be seen and a 7-11 sign brings a warmth of feeling about that wunnerful Southland Corporation. And the grating beyond the white line marking the edge of the...
