Re: Apple’s iCal and iCal/vCal format

I've posted a draft (note: version 00 so there will be some typos) on some guidelines for XML and iCalendar use.. this is an individual draft, but if you decide to look into XML and iCal I'd like to hear your opinions.

One thing I saw in your file that isn't in the standard (RFC2445) is the NAME: property of VCALENDAR. Not sure if that causes a problem in iCal but it definitely seems non-stanard-compliant

Re: Yeah of course it's about the oil and that's all it's about (Scripting News)

If it's about oil, then I have a suggestion that actually solves two or maybe three problems: Invade adnd annex Mexico. Take their oil company. Solves part of the oil problem; solves the immigration issue; except large US corporations won't like it because the all the maquiladoras will fall under minimum wage laws.

Re: collision detection: At Amherst college, 1% of first-year students have landlines, 99% have Facebook accounts

I wonder - are all five of the landlines in the small group of incoming freshmen who do not have Facebook accounts?

My uncle went to Amherst but in his day I bet they didn't offer landlines to individual students, you probably used a shared landline somewhere in the dorm.

Re: National ID Debate is Irrelevant

I think that another point is often overlooked - IF we have a national ID card, then every person needs to be able to, with software and/or equipment that costs $20 max, be able to read the data on that card to review it for errors. For people who don't have a computer, public libraries need to be equipped to handle this request. The data dumped needs to be clearly identified, to avoid misinterpretation by citizenry who may not be computer literate. These simple things would allow us to at least make sure the government is getting our data right.

I may be late with this post, but...

This may be an instance of a transition to the "informal economy" as envisioned by this writer:

The basic premise being that in tough times, you drop high fixed costs like rent, occupational permit fees and the like... a farmer's market is a more informal environment

Um... as a married guy I have to ask: what does Miryam think about inviting all these folks to dinner? Especially in Paris - where it would usually earn the 200,000-husband-point bonus to have a romantic dinner in a little cafe..
