    I was wondering if my fellow lefties can help me out here. As you are aware, there is currently a huge humanitarian crisis in Sudan. Some would even call it genocide. I have no problem with that. But what I can't seem to figure out is how the United States is to blame, as we usually are at fault.

    Please advise. Thx.

      The Reagan administration propped up the Sudanese government during the cold war (as a counterbalance to Soviet-backed Ethiopia), so it is the fault of the US that the current regime is doing bad things. HTH.

      Thanks so much, you've been very helpful. I knew there would be some way to blame the evil oppressive imperialist US. Now, I'll just forward your post to Michael Moore to use in his next documentary.

    SmartFolders? Why do companies have to reinvent nomeclature so often? Couldn't they have stuck to vFolders for virtual folders, which is much more descriptive anyway?

    Finally, a correct use of the word 'literally':

    Apple's new "Spotlight" search technology is by far Tiger's most dominant feature, and it can be accessed from almost every corner of the system, literally.

    A blue-colored Spotlight search button appears in the upper-right-hand corner of the Mac OS menubar, and remains accessible at that point from any Mac OS X application. Selecting the Spotlight icon reveals a search field that will expand to display results in real-time.

    What is it with you guys?

    I don't understand why you get turned on by women who are not interested in men by definition. Every time I get a new boyfriend, it won't take long before he's asking if I'd be willing to try a threesome with "some hot bi-girl he just met".

      So... just out of interest, did you try it? Can you describe what happened, please? :)

      I am a straight guy and if my girlfriend suggested having a threesome with another guy, I would not want to join in. But I would offer to videotape her and the guy. Lighten up!

  8. your developer copy by loid_void · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I am not a developer but was wondering. Using Mail, would it be possible to have a script that could be used to post information to iCal. For instance: address would be your iCal, subject line (or CC line) would be title of particular calendar; and then of course there is the date and time. I say this because it seems not only logical, but because the interface is easier for many reasons, one being that we use E mail so often. What do you think?
