    Racial profiling

    Oh my goodness. Here's the truth, big guy: I think it's safe to say that every regime that has conquered and ruled over wide swaths of humanity has been cruel, and has had its kindnesses. There was not one monolithic "Islamic empire" that ruled Asia and parts of Europe for centuries; in fact...

    Racial profiling

    I have a copy here in my bookshelf, and studied it in college under a Pakistani professor that I stayed friends with for years afterwards, during which time we often discussed issues of Islam and politics. And your interpretation is that of a crazy frickin' Islamophobic freakshow, thus my...

    Well jeez, welcome back to the working world, Clint! "Breaking in a new RV"...man, I live in Brooklyn. An RV is a crazy concept to me. Breaking in a new RV.

    What app shall I use to make Car Graphics?

    Do you mean a drawing of a car? A vector-based outline image of a car? If that's it, sounds like a job for Adobe Illustrator.

    Racial profiling

    Most likely in several ways.

    Problem with MSN - or is it just me?

    Assuming you have a backup drive, it's a good idea to keep a copy of the latest version of each installer around. It's an *especially* good idea to back up the current version (i.e., the version running on your machine) of each installer for any security, password storage, backup, etc. programs...

    Mail problems...

    Do you still see the vertical split between the top and bottom parts of the listing/message display pane? If you only see the listing area, then look at the bottom of the window for a small line with a dot in the middle of it. See the attached screen shot. Double-click on that bar, or...

    Changing disk permissions form terminal

    Huh. It automounted with those permissions? Is it a non-OS X-native disk format? The basic form of the permission command is this: chmod 777 /Volumes/Morphous This will change the permissions on the disk itself. Once you see it on the Desktop or in the Finder, you could manage permissions...

    Hacking Mac Book Pro

    Maybe you have an anger issue.... Look, so as it turns out, it's an academic issue. What this most certainly does not prove is that Macs are thus secure. Macs are insecure because computers are insecure. I don't see the big controversy here. Anyone who's trying to construct an argument that...

    Racial profiling

    I don't know what role egotism plays here...don't understand the choice of words. I'm not sure that we're "bickering back and forth" either. I think this point that we're talking about was actually the core of the original question that started this thread. I'm not assuming that racial...

    Form in CGI not working :-\

    Ooof. I think you haven't seen a response here because this is a big chunk of unformatted code, with no info on what errors you've encountered, what you've tried to address the errors, and so on. If you provide some more info, someone might get back to you.

    Racial profiling

    I'm not making an argument about your intelligence. I am arguing that you can't ask this question -- "Should we allow racial profiling in airports in Britain for this particular event?" -- in isolation. To ask the question and demand that it be answered strictly per se is disingenuous, or...

    Verizon won't allow competing email addresses?

    Error 3170 is generally "SMTP host unreachable" or equivalent. Are you trying to send from the Yahoo address, but with the Verizon SMTP server? Or are you trying to send from the Yahoo address with a non-Verizon SMTP server?

    Racial profiling

    You may want to discuss the concept of the "slippery slope" with Cat, the resident academic philosopher. Here in the United States we have a seemingly endless number of instances these days of the over-application of what Congress thought it approved, or what "the people" thought they asked...

    fonts not working properrly with one user

    Word actually has its own font cache as well. Try reading Microsoft's support page on this problem. There are also plenty of other places to read about this problem. Some independent research will probably yield a solution.

    fonts not working properrly with one user

    Try downloading OnyX and running the Cleaning tool, making sure to delete font caches. Then restart. See if the problems remain. (Wow, I just suggested this for three posts in a row. Remarkable how often a cache cleanup is a good first step.)
