Discovered this via a Tweet from mikeash: Regain a little developer sanity in Lion: Sys Prefs->Language&Text->Text->Word Break->English (US, Computer). (ht @danielpunkass) It’s not just in Lion tho. Seems that’s been around for a while. So what does it do?

MFMailComposeViewController lacks get accessors
Argh. Apple’s iOS Application Programming Guide states that well-behaved iOS applications will preserve the state of the application’s user interface.

I check the DPS website to see the status of …

Today I had the pleasure of participating in a Woman’s Self Defense Clinic put on by Kuk Sool Won of Oak Hill. This clinic was different.
