Daperture

My previous post ignited some thoughts on why some people choose to conform while others choose to become a hero, in the case where the heroine's actions aren't positively reinforced and celebrated.

It's really sad that our US Soldiers, albeit Reserve troops acting as MPs would denigrate and dehumanize their Iraqi prisoners. The pictures (NSFW) speak for themselves.

New Regulations in the New Jersey Division of Motor Vehicle's 2005 Handbook:

1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A confident New Jersey Driver avoids using them.

Intro
One of my main duties at my current job is administering email. We're processing mail for about 18000 users across 1300 domains. What this means for me is that for every 1 legitimate piece of mail I get, I get 50-100 pieces of spam. It's quite nasty. In order to combat the spam, we've got a cluster of MTAs running Postfix, Amavis, SpamAssassin, ClamAV combo. This setup works fairly well to combat spam, except that the Amavis/SA is written in Perl.
