| R. Queisser: Does "Faulty Planning" by Pentagon Surprise Anyone ...
Jane Stillwater: Does prayer really work? "No." (2 comments) At the rate I've been wearing my knees out, if prayer really worked, we'd have PEACE in the world right now. But maybe peace will come through the back door -- because America simply can't afford "war" any more. And maybe my appeal to the Pentagon to reinstate my embed will come through. And maybe Desperate Housewives will get back on the air and...maybe in 2008 we won't just elect "More of the Same". Not a prayer.

Truth is Permeating the American Mass Mind Through the Arts !! (3 comments) A REVOLUTION! Truth is Permeating the American Mass Mind Through the Arts !! A revolution began occurring through the arts, that may be a barometer indicating that 9/11 truth is about to become, and in fact may as we speak, be already becoming a mainstream known reality.
The Mac Guy: It can take time to retrain self when switching to Macs
Hey Mac Guy: I'm enjoying my Mac but wish I knew how to navigate around quicker. They need a guide for recovering Windows users. Mac Dazed Hey Mac: It definitely takes some time to retrain yourself when changing operating systems. You wouldn't believe how many times when using Windows systems that I hit that darn pointless Windows key and get confused by the unexpected menu that pops up. Two books I can recommend are "Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual" by David Pogue (www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529529), which is a general guide to the Mac interface, and "Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition" also by Pogue (www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596514129). This second book sounds like it may be a better starting place for you, but it won't be available until sometime in February.
Oddly named Preferences folders
Well, today's hint was also ripped from the headlines, as long as the headlines include certain threads on the Macworld forums. Hopefully, though, you won't write this tip off to lack of creativity on the author's part! In the linked thread, user tfindlay posted that their user's Preferences folder was littered with oddly-named (but empty) folders, and they were wondering just where they came from. Enter yours truly. A couple months ago, shortly after switching to the Mac Pro, I had noticed the same thing. And these aren't just oddly-named folders; bizarrely-named folders would be a better description. As an example, here's a selection from my own machine: .

Clive Thompson on How DIYers Just Might Revive American Innovation
What a mess. I'm sitting on the floor of my apartment, surrounded by electronic parts, a cigar box, a soldering gun, and stray bits of wire. I'm trying to build my own steampunk-style clock — hacking a couple of volt meter dials to display hours and minutes. It'll look awesome when it's done. If it ever gets done — I keep botching the soldering. A well-soldered joint is supposed to look like a small, shiny volcano. My attempts look like mashed insects, and they crack when I try to assemble the device. Why am I so inept? I used to do projects like this all the time when I was a kid. But in high school, I was carefully diverted from shop class when the administration decided I was college-bound. I stopped working with my hands and have barely touched a tool since.
