We watched the March of the Penguins last night. I received the DVD for my birthday, yeah!
Too bad they did not have The Tragicaly Hip song playing over the ending credits.

Emperor Penguin is arguably the hardiest of all Earth’s dwellers. You see them on nature shows. Basically, around the time that they have the egg, the female does this intricate transfer in subzero temperatures, and the male puts it on the top of his feet, under a sack of fat to keep it warm. The mother takes off, for I think four, five or six months, travels the oceans, feeding, stocking up–feed, feed, feed, feed, feed–makes her way back, treks across land, and then feeds the now ready-to-hatch egg what she got.

In the meantime, the males-only males-congregate and form this massive mass against ridiculous temperatures and conditions, not a living thing except them, and basically they form this mass where they kind of rotate from the centre of the mass to the outside. So you have to do your time and you’re always moving in a kind of circle, and you have to do your time out against the elements, but then eventually you get to move in and get warm, and that way they survive. The Mom shows up, takes the egg, it hatches–she feeds it, and then it goes on.

Macworld: News: Gmail virus scanning draws some user complaints
Disabling the virus scanning is convenient for users who may occasionally need to mail an infected file for reporting purposes to an antivirus vendor and for users who may regularly handle infected messages if they are, say, IT professionals involved in antivirus work.

I say good for Google for implementing Virus Scanning.
If professional people need to send infected files, they usually know what they are doing, use RAR. you can send anything in a RAR because gmail does not scan it like it does zips. Gmail is a free service, and if you are a professional sending infected files, you should not be using gmail for it.

Quit your complaining!
