Getting down to brass tacks on the Hope front
2008-05-12 17:43:00 Getting down to brass tacks on the Hope frontI was talking with a friend of mine the other day about relationships. She is a white woman married to a white man. I am a white woman married to a half Philippino man who looks more, say, Samoan. I have never considered myself to part of a "mixed race" marriage, though I suppose that, technically, I am. I can tell you flat out that we have never seen any discrimination and our children, who both look plain ol' white, have never faced any, either. I have been in relationships, however, where this wasn't the case. I have, in my lifetime, had relationships with two black men. In the first, he was much more open about the relationship than I. I come from a Southern family and we were living in Virginia and while I wasn't embarassed to be with him, per se, I was fearful of people's reactions. I was afraid to hold hands in public. He would laugh at me, but was patient.In the second relationship, about five years later, I was the o...

Insurgents yesterday morning placed a bomb, which was attached to a bottle of acid used in the production of rubber sheets, on a road near the Aisatia railway station in Narathiwat's Cho Airong district before detonating it by remote control. The target was a patrol unit. The explosion seriously injured two passers-by, Suraida Mareusa, 29, and a 15-year-old boy, Arfundee Dolor, who arrived at the scene at the same time as the patrol unit. The officers were unhurt. Police said insurgents are now increasingly attaching explosives to bottles of acid to attack patrol units.

Latest Edwards Attacks Shot Down As He Violates His Own Rules
2007-11-05 06:52:00 As the race goes on it becomes increasingly clear that, with the exception of Rudy Giuliani, who is in a league of his own with regards to demagoguery, John Edwards is the candidate who is most wiling to say anything for potential political gain. We are also reminded, as was painfully apparent in 2004, that John Edwards is not ready for prime time as he doesn’t even consider the consequences of what he says. After Hillary Clinton had difficulties answering the question on drivers licenses for illegal immigrants, John Edwards responded with an internet video. His stock comment to reporters was “What we saw in the debate were the politics of double talk. I have a really simple rule — if you get asked a yes-or-no question you shouldn’t give a yes-AND-no answer.” I guess this simple rule was as short lived as Edwards’ belief that Democratic candidates should not disagree with each other. Edwards does not seem to realize that he is performing on a bigg...

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard “Real World Usage” Report: Stacks
2007-11-04 00:49:00 There is a new feature in the new Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system called Stacks. Pretty simple idea. The Mac (for those of you who don’t own one) has something called the “dock”. It’s the same thing as the “task bar” in Windows. The big difference is you can drop your application icons on it and launch your application from there. That’s all great, however, after a while, your Dock becomes very crowded. So in Leopard, there is this new feature called “stacks” which allows you to “group” applications together and have them “pop up” in a kind of “Leaning Tower of Piza” kind of way. It’s pretty neat (very Mac like). However, there are many ways that Apple can (and in my opinion, should) improve on this functionality since Windows already has most of what I’m about suggest inside their “start” menu. I can’t create a “stack” in the dock and then just drop any application I want in there. For example, I would like to have a “Video Editing” stack and drop Final Cut Pro, Compresso...

Electronic Jihad Attacks Coming November 11th?
2007-11-02 21:15:00 This via SECURITY FOCUSA group sympathetic to the goals of militant Muslims has called for support in attacking financial Web sites and services on November 11, according to a security firm and an Israeli news site.The would-be attackers plan to use a program, dubbed Electronic Jihad 2.0 by its creators, to level denial-of-service attacks against unnamed sites, according to security firm Secure Computing. While older versions of the attack program required users to manually input the targets, the latest version allows a central server to control who is attacked, said Paul Henry, vice president of Secure Computing.Henry likened the network of systems created by the program to a "manual botnet.""If you look at the translated site, they are talking about causing financial harm, so I assume they are talking about financial sites," Henry said. "Before it was primarily Israeli sites -- now they have claimed they are going after Western interests."Whether the call for an electronic jihad i...

Earlier, she called upon the terrorists to surrender arms and in case of some grievances they should opt for negotiations with a view to seek the redressal instead of resorting to terrorist activities to kill the innocent people.Benazir visited the mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam, Pakistan's founder, making her second public outing in as many days after a blood...

iPhone gets Leopard's dock stacks :) Via 3rd party :P Apple
2007-10-22 08:48:00 Ok one of the cool new features from Leopard (OSX 10.5) is the Dock's new Stack ability. Basically it takes a bunch of applications or videos or other items and stacks them on top of one another. When you click the stack they slide out so you can choose one. It's one of the more impressive features but we never thought we would have come across someone actually taking the time to port the new feature to the iPhone. Yes someone actually made an upgrade to the iPhone's dock feature and has added the ability for stacks. As you can see from the video above it's quite a good little addon. The only thing is it's not really a 100% port. As right now the stack is an overlay placed in the lower right corner it's not actually part of the dock unfortunately that's sort of the reason after the applicaton opens its still visible even though the dock isn't. The other part that doesn't match up with Leopard is I have yet to see the "too many" icons slide out version. In...
