mis.addn/net.g'blogger.com/html mode is not straight:

11.28:

. when I would use <...> in the text,

it would give it a special meaning,

so then I used an html editor to make the string

& l t ; ... & g t ;

and used blogger's html mode to insert it:

this resulted in yet another monstrosity !

. I then used the mac symbol picker to choose some unicode <> pairs

that were not ascii, but the same shape only in a bold font .

. so I pasted that html code using html mode,

and it's html mode was adding br.tags after every newline;

which of course was causing double spacing everywhere .

. so then I had to bring the code into a temp edit page,

and replace all the br.tags with blanks .

finally!

tech:

. interestingly I must have came across the same problem

without even crying about it -- or remembering it .

. my reaction that time was to replace the <...> with italics .

11.29:

. ironic, I forgot running into this problem,

and my first encounter was smarter than my 2nd!:

6.23/mis.addn/net.g'blog/importing html:

. the copy from seamonkey code to blog messed up, adding newlines,

try saving the page and then opening with firefox,

then copying the page normally (not by view-copying code)

and see if it saves the links and other html .

12.15: mis.addn/{net.g'blog, mac}/strange mac char's:

. when having trouble with brackets in g'blogger's editor:

http://amerdreamduh.blogspot.com/2009/11/getting-organized.html

I replaced them with a unicode that didn't turn out well later

atleast when viewed from a pc -- using either {chrome, seamonkey }.

. worse, I saved the page as the html I posted,

so, my local copy looks like a mess too! .

. I edited both by replacing the brackets with italics font,

or if they were something like <...> or <> then I used [/]x .

That's why we have a team

— the Data Liberation Front (dataliberation.org) —

http://www.dataliberation.org/

whose job it is to make "checking out" easy.

Recent examples of their work include Blogger

http://www.dataliberation.org/google/blogger

(people who choose to leave Blogger for another service

can easily take their content with them) .

12.28: web.addn/net.blogger.com/display angle brackets:
. yea! my problem at blogger.com has a solution I can find!
superuser.com/...how-to-display-angle-brackets-in-a-pre-in-wordpress
has this solution:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-syntax/other_notes/:
Example 4: If your code already has html entities escaped,

use escaped="true" as an option;

. surround your code with this:

<pre lang="xml" escaped="true">
</pre>

and replace left angle brackets with the usual html code & l t ;, etc .

WOT bookmarklet for Safari and Opera

11.3: news.addn/mac.safari/security/WOT bookmarklet for Safari and Opera:

. If you are using Safari or Opera, you can add the WOT bookmarklet

to your browser simply by dragging this link to your bookmarks.

Using the bookmarklet is simple:

click the bookmark and it will display a WOT popup on the page,

showing ratings for the current site. Another click will hide the popup.

This gives you an easy access to WOT reputation data,

although you won't be able to give your own ratings.

why is mac firewall off by default?

11.3: web.addn/mac/why mac firewall off by default?:

. wonder why the firewire was off?

the next article reminds me that I used to know

my router has a hardware-based firewall built-in,

and if there is any problems with the likes of skype,

just turn off the computer's firewall and leave that job to your router .

Damien Gallop 2003:

For even better security,

particularly at home on a broadband connection such as cable or DSL internet,

get a combo NAT gateway for yourself. Next to a VCR,

these little "black boxes" are the technology bargain of the decade.

Installing one between your home computer or network

and your broadband modem will give you a two-tiered level of firewalling.

configure it!:

We suggest that you select the Enable Stealth Mode check box.

It doesn't have many side-effects,

unless you want people to be able to perform stealth scans of your Mac.

arm vs atom

11.30: web.addn/dev/arm vs atom:

www.eetasia.com/ART_8800508852_499488_NT_1af778d6.HTM

Make no mistake: Atom is an important new architecture,

and it is likely to be a big success in many markets.

Atom can run PC games; ARM can't.

Just don't expect it to dethrone ARM

in the mobile market segment any time soon.

In most scenarios, Atom burns more power.

gateway syndrome

10.2: psy/gateway syndrome:

. when culture allows drug use,

then it could entail a sort of Peter principle

"(Employees Tends to be Promoted to their Level of Incompetence)

which in the case of drug experimentation

would be the situations where the drugs caused

something both negative and irreversable,

such as when accidents cause brain damage, depression ...

[10.4: or various autistic syndromes .]

the trees of genesis

10.28: relig/bible/genesis/trees of trees:

. the tree of knowledge story

may have caused double meaning of

{know it, aware of it, cause it} .

. what's the story's original meaning ?

there are 2 big trees in the picture:

knowledge (we got that)

and eternal life (we got the snakes at heels instead) .

11.21: relig/bible/genesis/lesson#1: safety in numbers:

. the trees of knowledge is esp'ly

awareness of one's own genitals?

. and they are tossed from garden;

esp'ly the tree of eternal life ?

. trying to control genitals (for population reduction)

could cost the culture its naturally eternal life,

as that life can often depend on

overbreeding being the cause of branching out

so that one catastrophe doesn't affect the whole group .

Islam's message

10.3: co.apt/relig/islam/the message:

. G*D's main message to islam was:

don't use infanticide to deal with the problem of

there being too many women;

use multi-marriages to absorb all the widows

-- and there will be a lot more widows,

because we are going to be hard at war

enculturating the environs .

10.9: relig/Islam Scientific:

. the way a humanist should be Islamic

is to admit that the christians are too subtle

and their call of christ as god

too easily confused with idolatry or polytheism .

. admit Muhammed was a prophet of G*D

but also combine that with monotheism:

all of the supernatural -- good and evil -- is G*D .

. being human actually means

being a mouthpiece to both;

science is about finding ways to sort out

the good from the evil:

G*D is the good future,

devil is the wicked past .

. let science determine what words were good's will

vs devil's will .
