  1. Re:[Slightly OT] Phishing -- a partial solution on MySpace Phishing Attack Leads Users to Zango Adware · · Score: 1

    But you have to have the extension installed to access your accounts. To me, that's a significant disadvantage and makes the solution essentially worthless.

    Or just make some more 2Desque games instead? Seems to have worked with Mario on the DS.

    Spybot: Search & Destroy will handle it. And it's freeware.

  4. Re:A cold chill in relations? on UK Lab Traces Polonium To Russian Nuclear Plant · · Score: 1

    We need our gas power plants to take up the slack on the national grid when the renewables such as wind aren't providing us with enough power. The National Grid needs a certain electrical supply, yet most of our renewables are far from consistent in their power output. That's why we need the gas - oil, thermonuclear or coal stations are not as easily or quickly turned up or turned down, whereas with gas you can literally turn a dial. Build more "atomic power stations"? That won't solve the problem. Takes a while to really get these nuclear stations up and going to our specifications. (Besides, he's talking about heating homes, and few homes have electrical central heating.)

    Almost any alpha source will affect you, in sufficient dose. In most cases the danger is posed by the alpha particles emitted more than by the actual chemical. Radiation around us isn't alpha radiation. Alpha radiation seldom travels or penetrate through more than 10 centimetres of air, that's why it's only a threat when ingested or in contact with the body.
