Why the UN is Evil

I came across a nice little article written by Anne Bayefsky called, “Again: Antisemitism, welcomed and cheered”.

It’s really sad what goes on inside the UN, and I’ve always said the UN is a really bad idea to begin with. Power centralized is way too dangereous for regular humans to toy with.

EDIT: And just to go along with it, from JPOST, “Under the rubric of the need to choose one’s battles, Israel is not putting a lot of energy into battling the annual anti-Israel ritual at the UN known as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, scheduled for Monday.”

CSS Margin-Collapsing

Just working on a new web site design here and doing the CSS for it, and came across a little thing that I’ve came across many times before but never understood it. So I ran a query through Google to see what might come up, and came across this awesome article by Minz Meyer at Researchkitchen.

Just to sum it up, when working with block elements, when you’re playing with margins, the margin collapses when you add a border or padding via CSS. After reading that article I finally know why.

Hope it helps you if you’re looking for the same reasoning.

Angry IP Scanner Crashing with Mac OS X 10.5.5

I just downloaded and attempted to run the Angry IP Scanner on my Mac running OS X 10.5.5 and Java 1.5.0_16 or Java For Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2.

Came across a little problem, it crashes on launch. Just bounces a few times and quits. No crash report or anything.

Well here are two commands that you have to run from the Terminal to fix it:

$ rm /Applications/Angry\ IP\ Scanner.app/Contents/MacOS/ipscan
$ cp /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/\
Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub ipscan

Do that and it’ll work like a charm!
