To Flash or not to Flash

I am using Firefox with a recent install and need to get Flash to download charts from:
http://mkwc.ifa.hawaii.edu/models/model ... size=Large

"A plugin is needed to display content."

I don't want it to be the object of my discontent in this winter of the son of bork. Why isn't there an alternative already?
Yes I know "blame the university of Hawaii for being morons" but until their either grievoulsly underpaid and helplessly overworked or badly, badly trained and enormously fat and lazy iTech retires?

Confusus some say ate depraved and foetid molasses.

Sorry but I'm not able to understand what you want to express with the first sentence at all.
For the second one, if you're referring to those charts, no clue. If you're referring to flash browser plugin, there are a lot of alternatives. For that please have a look at our MAQeia for flash player plugin: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=880
You should remember as you posted in that MAQeia thread previously: viewtopic.php?p=56257#p56257

Badmouthing does not not help at all, and they will probably use what is easiest for them and maybe easiest to protect the content if it should not be easily downloadable.


Totally apart from that, please stop using foul language, that is disregarded around here.
