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 where does the url resolve? Reproduction of the code here (Test Now - Left Click On This Link) results in similar (bad) behavior.

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?

My Answer: I'd pay $20/year. And that's stretching it… I'm not sure I'm going to need Maps, and I rarely use anything other than the image search. My gmail account is great for inviting people, but that's it. 🙂

If anyone (particularly the people I actually know) is interested in golfing in the Pinehurst area this February 25-27 for an incredible price, IM or email me immediately.

Obviously, I'm going. I can't pass this up - it's a tremendous deal! I haven't taken a vacation since graduating from college, and though this is only three days, it's the closest I believe I can get to one these days.

My favorite movie is, according to Amazon, going to be available on DVD a day before my birthday this year! Woo hoo! To say I ordered it quickly is an understatement.

I once, at 17, signed up for a Blockbuster video card because they were the only place that had the movie on VHS. I borrowed it and never intended to return it. They eventually sent me a notice saying I owed $99.95 or something (the cost of the movie). My dad went in to Blockbuster and argued that they'd made a contract with a minor, and all the fees were removed.

But I had to return the movie. 😛

Years later I found it on VHS and bought a copy, which I now own. My VCR, however, hasn't been unpacked since I moved to Erie. My favorite movie on DVD… yay!

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 what I'm talking about when I write on my golf blog.

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.

Question: Do you stretch every day?

My Answer: Yes. It's part of a fitness routine I'm doing for golf, based on the Ultimate Golf Fitness Guide.

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 difficult at best.

Question: Did you/will you watch the Super Bowl?

My Answer: Nah. Got stuff to do.

We use a few defaults in PulpFiction to control the badge, and though you can't ever change them in the UI, they're quite accessible to those who what they're doing. 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 to set your own badge colors and positions:

[defaults setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.0],
                                               [NSNumber numberWithFloat:.5],
                                               [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.0],
                                               [NSNumber numberWithFloat:1.0], nil]
                                                forKey:@"FSSDockBadgeColor"];
[defaults setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:1.0],
                                              [NSNumber numberWithFloat:1.0],
                                              [NSNumber numberWithFloat:1.0],
                                              [NSNumber numberWithFloat:1.0], nil]
                                               forKey:@"FSSDockBadgeTextColor"];
[defaults setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:FSSTopRight]
                     forKey:@"FSSDockBadgePosition"];

As you'll note, "FSSTopRight" isn't a string. So, here's the enum:

typedef enum FSSBadgeCorner 
{
    FSSTopRight = 0,
    FSSTopLeft = 1,
    FSSBottomRight = 2,
    FSSBottomLeft = 3
} FSSBadgeCorner;

Customize away! Link to screenshots of your favorite combination of colors and position (and list the numbers you use) in the comments - perhaps we'll change the default.

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.

Question: What's your average credit card APR?

My Answer: I have only one, and in about a week or two it will have a $0 balance. Its APR is 17.9%.

These people wish it to be so.

We the undersigned believe there should be a national holiday called Opening Day to take place the first Monday of April, coinciding with the start of the baseball season.

As much as I despise Internet Explorer, I use it daily because pgatour.com crashes Safari just about every time you visit. I've submitted countless bug reports. Maybe, later today, I'll visit 10 times in a row and submit each crash report.

IE loads faster than any other browser (maybe besides iCab). Ancient poo for everything else, it works serviceably for using pgatour.com. And for filling out forms with lots of popup menus, something Safari still doesn't do as well.

Well, this about tells the story:

Acquisition price: $16.93 (USD)
Sale price: $79.19 (USD)

Let's see, that's only a 468% increase. In about a year. Not too shabby.
