  1. Re:NO! on Storm Worm Rising · · Score: 1

    If you are sending it to yourself what happens if add the attachment and leave it in the drafts without actually sending it?

    Is the drafts subject to capacity limit (since you haven't sent it) ?

    I never tried that 'cos when I am sending code home (if I forgot my mem stick) I send via the work account (right click send to mail recipient is easier than opening browser, logging in, creating a mail, adding attachment...).

    Actually, if they are clever enough to scan the zips, maybe they could be clever enough to just filter the exes out leaving the rest.
    It annoys me as well, the number of zips I have called .aaa .abc .bmp around because of this is stupid.

    Maybe - just maybe - google could consider allowing zips to account users who have specified it as a preference (default block as currently occurs).

  3. Re:NoScript, but they don't work on The Java Popup you Can't Stop · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually, it was a bit worse (for some reason on mine)

    The start bar went behind the app, bringing up task manager and shutting down the app wasn't as easy as you would think because the java app eats focus and makes clicking the "End Process" and the Warning message difficult.

    I managed it after a few mistypes and jabs at the button.

    Its possible to close it, but it doesn't play nice at all.

    If the polar ice caps were melting daily in the centre of a busy city I would agree with you, but it doesn't.

    The big difference is: it happens thousands of miles away from normal people and anything released is just as likely to be reabsorbed by the fresh polar snow/ocean.

    I can spray tonnes of a toxin at the northpole and people around the world would be safe, but if I try the same thing in a major city I would be shot.

  5. Re:Are they sure? on Astronomers Witness Whopper Galaxy Collision · · Score: 1

    Somehow I don't think so - There is a VERY large bright star nearby...
    Also, the image shown has a star brighter than the galaxy cluster we are discussing.

    Its easy to see the difference between a star ang a galaxy when you can see the supermassive spiral arms and individual stars within, however in this image, they just look like stars.

  6. Are they sure? on Astronomers Witness Whopper Galaxy Collision · · Score: 0

    How do they *know* its galaxies colliding?

    It may just as easily (and appears to my untrained eye) to be more like a star system than a super super colliding galaxy.

    Also, they might have a bit of grit on the camera lens, its always a bugger when you take a pic of your grandmother and get colliding galaxies, happens all the time.

    If they *did* think about implementing this on all pods then it would be unusable by me legally from my car or my homemade battery pack.

    I could only imagine it working only if you try working directly with an iTunes aware computer.
    If you connect it to an in-car charger there is no iTunes running from the car battery, so no comparison is possible at all.

    Developed right it wouldn't be a big deal and really could work.

    "just flown" = past-tense, after the flight but before we disembarked.
