  2. Congratulations South Africa on winning the #SKA telescope! #SA #Africa 2:39 PM May 25th via TweetDeck
  3. Congratulations @SpaceX ! #Dragon 6:58 AM May 25th via TweetDeck
  4. So, we would survive a 4x 50 megaton nuclear attack on the UK. #VISITYORK goo.gl/Nvojq 3:34 AM May 25th via TweetDeck
  5. via a mis-reading of a URL by @everythingabili in a meeting, WouldISurviveANuke.com - goo.gl/Nvojq 3:32 AM May 25th via TweetDeck
  6. Well OK, the second set of record counters refers to position in destination table, first to source. #retract 3:52 AM May 23rd via TweetDeck
  7. As fear-inducer, it does the job. Going to manually modify tens of thousands of values instead until I find a grown-up to help. 3:47 AM May 23rd via TweetDeck
  8. Importing 2 of 5213 records; or in a different position, importing 159832 of 198203 records. 3:46 AM May 23rd via TweetDeck
  9. "Record 1" and "Record 2" side by side, but not actually comparing source to destination. Just showing two source records. 3:46 AM May 23rd via TweetDeck
  10. I had no idea it was possible to design an Import... dialog so ambiguously terrifying. Comparison arrows that are actually field length +/- 3:45 AM May 23rd via TweetDeck
  11. @psychemedia Agree (plenty "OMG why can't Googel FIX THIS NOW!") posts around, but security trumps convenience. They should delete Edit menu 3:38 AM May 23rd via TweetDeck in reply to psychemedia
  12. @psychemedia It's more a surprise that Chrome ever allowed access to clipboard without authorisation 3:24 AM May 23rd via TweetDeck in reply to psychemedia
  13. @psychemedia It isn't a menu though, it's a Javascript action which looks like a menu, whereas Ctrl-C is native. Chrome's own Edit-Cut is OK 3:19 AM May 23rd via TweetDeck in reply to psychemedia
  14. @psychemedia Also depends which release stream you're on - I can't copy with my rapid release accounts, but can copy with slower scheduled 2:53 AM May 23rd via TweetDeck
  15. @psychemedia (upload failed but msg says, "These actions are unavailable via the Edit menu, but you can still use: Ctrl+C for copy" etc.) 2:48 AM May 23rd via TweetDeck in reply to psychemedia
  16. @psychemedia Interesting. I get this; more to do with limiting malicious access to clipboard than routing though? 2:48 AM May 23rd via TweetDeck in reply to psychemedia
