Here’s a handy list of Safari 4 Hidden Preferences.
To change these preferences, you use the Mac OS X Terminal application, located in:
Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
If you’ve never used the Terminal before, here’s an introduction.

and

will let us get back to the blue status bar in the address bar, but really I’d like Apple to give us a choice in how that’s presented within the Preferences.

They’re a band that released their first album in 1986 (of which I still have a copy). I loved their 3 first albums (self titled, Lincoln, and Flood). I listened to some of their later albums, but those first three were a big part of my high school/college years. I still keep Flood and Lincoln in my musical rotation. Of course, they’re one of those bands (at least, from the group of people I used to socialize with) that either you like, or you don’t.

U.S. pulling out of racism conference
White House aides told Jewish leaders on a conference call today that the United States will boycott the United Nations’ World Conference on Racism over hostility to Israel in draft documents prepared for the April conference.
The aides, including an advisor to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, Jennifer Simon, and longtime Obama advisor Samantha Power, said the administration will not participate in further negotiations on the current text or participate in a conference based on the text, sources on the call said.
They left open the option of re-engaging on a “much shorter, much different text,” a source said.
The draft outcome document, typically negotiated in advance and available here (.pdf), contains sharp and specific criticism of Israel for its treatment of the Palestinians, and Western European nations and Canada have also signaled that they may boycott the conference in Geneva.
The conference is known informally as Durban II after a 2001 conference in South Africa that included a heavy focus on Israel and calls to reinstate a U.N. resolution equating Zionism and racism. Libya is chairing the preparatory meetings for this year’s conference, one of several factors prompting boycott calls.
Obama is expected to issue a statement on the subject later this afternoon, and the participants were asked not to discuss the call until a formal statement is released.

Here is the letter I sent to my State Senator and Representative:
“Senator __________ and Representative _____________
Texas is considering reaffirming their sovereignty under article 10 of the United States Constitution.
[Link: www.capitol.state.tx.us…]
“Affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates, and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.”
Given the expansion of federal powers the current administration is proposing it may be warranted for the State of ___________ to send a message to Washington DC about who the government of the United States belongs too.
I appeal to you to consider this as a course of action for our State legislature. I appreciate your service to our state and my family.”
