Many thanks for posting this tip. Does the combination still work with Firefox 3.6? I don’t mind disabling other add-ons temporarily, but losing Blog This in Windows Live Writer would be a deal-breaker for me!

A couple of additional thoughts regarding the Universal electrical plug idea:

-The Universal electrical plug standard should be drawn up by the IEEE, i.e. it should be an official IEEE standard.

-The plugs must provide a proper mechanical or physical connection, to ensure that there's a proper electrical connection. That's one of the problems I've observed with 2-pin plugs in SA (particularly with devices such as power supplies or chargers with integrated plugs, where the weight of the device interferes with a proper connection).

Thanks Arnoud. All suggestions are welcome. This may just be the solution for some:

Yahoo! Autosync synchronizes the information you store with Yahoo!—in Address Book, Calendar, ToDo List, and Notepad—with your desktop personal information manager (PIM), such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, or Palm Desktop. It’s an upgrade to what used to be known as Intellisync for Yahoo!

Thanks for stopping by, but I’m afraid your comment doesn’t make much sense. As for BEE, I saw it in action up close at my previous employer (one of the big four banks in SA), and what I saw of “Black Elite Enrichment” (at the expense of customers, shareholders and staff) disgusted me.

Thanks for the heads-up Paulie. This one is new to me, but it looks like a promising solution, at least to the Contacts part of the equation. Synchronising the Calendar will require a different solution.

Thanks Joel. I wasn’t sure whether to bring the Rosa Parks parallel in or not. Looks as if I should have. If we’re to have a state for all Jews, one segment cannot claim the public space as their own and impose a narrow (and relatively “modern”) view of morality on the rest.

Point taken, Ben. Well made, as usual. I’m not planning to take on the teenage gangs on my own! What I am hoping for is that if enough respectable citizens complain to the “responsible authorities”, “something will be done about it”. I know they have the wherewithal to deal with the hooligans; they just lack the political will.

I don’t have an editor, so thanks for taking time out of your busy day to comment on my grammar.
