  1. Re:Wrong section, eds! on Safari "Carpet Bomb" Attack Code Released · · Score: 1

    No, the problem is that Safari doesn't utilize the functionality Windows has for marking files as safe or unsafe when it downloads something, thus allowing IE to open said files. Safari isn't implementing the basic security that is implemented in Windows. No, the problem is that you are confusing Safari with Firefox. Oh yeah, and that IE doesn't check the basic security that is implemented in Windows when it starts any old DLL on the Desktop.

    Don't believe me? Download the DLL from the page to your Desktop and restart IE - presto.

    Also, on OSX Safari tags the downloaded file as 'unsafe', but it fails to use the Windows functionality to do the same on Windows. Wrong. Safari does use the Attachment Execution Service of Windows XP SP2 - unlike Firefox.

    Considering that HUMAN generated Greenhouse gasses contribute to 2% or Less of the total atmosphere, I doubt that it is a greenhouse gas effect. Yeah, when you add 2% water to a full glass, it's obviously not that added 2% that made it overflow, they could never have such a drastic effect.

    I think many alarmists forget that Earth was once significantly warmer than it is now, and had significantly higher levels of atmospheric CO2 than it has now. So why don't you hop in your time machine and go back to the time where it was so cosy and warm?

    Crops have higher yields when more CO2 is available, even if growing conditions arenâ(TM)t perfect.

    "But there's a tradeoff between quantity and quality. While crops may be more productive, the resulting produce will be of lower nutritional quality."

    "Wild plants are constrained by what they can do with increased CO2. They may use it for survival and defense rather than to boost reproduction."

    Nutritional quality declines because while the plants produce more seeds under higher CO2 levels, the seeds contain less nitrogen.

    "The quality of the food produced by the plant decreases, so you've got to eat more of it to get the same benefits," Curtis said. "Nitrogen is a critical component for building protein in animals, and much of the grain grown in the United States is fed to livestock.

    It seems to me that when we see something happen, we immediately try to figure out what WE did to cause it. It's the same kind of self-centered belief system that led Native Americans to believe that a certain dance or sacrifice would lead to rain. No, WE try to find out what caused it, period. SOME try to "prove" that it can't have been us by babbling endlessly about how we didn't do it in the past. Sorry, but the fact that you weren't even alive at the time of the first bank robbery will not cut it with any judge when you are on trial for robbing a bank now.
