I've been a bit baffled by this one. If that's a 2mm gap, then that atom is ridiculously large.
Am I missing something?

Presumably the atom is not actually motionless (they never are except at absolute zero). On a long exposure, the atom absorbs and re-emits light particles, and that is what is observed over the exposure. (Actually, all any photograph ever records, so not cheating at all). Due to the motion, the atom will appear larger than it actually is (and most of the structure of an atom is space anyway).

Thanks, Rob - I hadn't considered the exposure time!

Since the dawn of infosec, the belief that we users are a group of dullard cattle who blindly trade our own security for convenience at every turn has been trumpeted by the stewards of IT and the infosec-arrogant, while bolstered by old research. And yet, the #1 password is 123456 (mine's 124567: super secure!)

Not every Windows 10 upgrade goes well, and Microsoft has been sued before for ones which went wrong and which then caused loss of time, data and productivity. "Oh, I have suffered with those that I saw suffer."

It appears that the building, like many of its products, has a design flaw. I think there's a metaphor about Apple there

Oh yeah, we patched that back in October, Windows giant yawns...

The Register article says Quote: the vulnerability is present in Skype for Windows versions 7.40 and lower. In October 2017, Microsoft released version 8 without the flaw, so if you kept up to date, you're fine. If you're running version 7, get version 8.
but my Skype is v 7.4x and when I click "Check for updates" it tells me I am already running the latest version.... ??

I'd highly recommend that you enable "Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows" in your Windows Update settings.
Otherwise would need to manually update by downloading the fixed installer from Get Skype[^].

That option is checked in Windows Updates settings - but even if it is wasn't, it's odd that Skype is telling me I have the latest version (assuming the Register article is correct).

Skype is a S**t. We regularly use Brosix. Very reliable.

We had lot of security flaws due to the app easily being not protective in chat environment. Buggy app Lync a.k.a Skype should be doomed.
