I don't understand how IDN Spoofing works. I see that the link text goes to http://www.paypаl.com, but why that resolves so unusually is beyond me. Safari properly renders the а as "a" in the link, but also does so in the URL. Why is Safari so lax when it comes to standard domain names, and […]

Question: With all that Google has, including their new Maps, Gmail, and the pre-existing stuff, how much would you be willing to pay if everything but the basic search features became a subscription service?

Question: What's the last book you read? My Answer: Newton on the Tee: The Physics of Golf. It wasn't nearly as good as I'd hoped - almost no equations and not horribly scientific. Apparently there's a better book out there for that, and it's called "The Physics of Golf." After all, I prefer to know […]

If your main Document is called "Yentel Proposal," Pages should name the backup document "Yentel Proposal Backup," not "Backup of Yentel Proposal." It's far more difficult than need to to find the corresponding backup document.

Thank you, Pages, for telling me that "NewBaskerville" is missing from my document, even though it's specified in some style or another. No thank you for providing me absolutely no way of knowing what style contains NewBaskerville. Grrrr… P.S. The XML doesn't even have line breaks, making tracking down the style with the missing font […]

The keys are FSSDockBadgeColor, FSSDockBadgeTextColor, and FSSDockBadgePosition. Here are some pertinent code snippets. You should be able to figure out what you need to do […]

Question: Do you have (and use) a paper calendar of any kind (organizer, wall calendar, picture calandar, "Babe a Day" calendar)? My Answer: I have two golf ones and a Weimaraner one. To say I "use" them is a bit of a stretch, but I own them and I look at them now and then. […]
