Re: OT: Driving a car -> Voting Machines

Same here, reduction in tax bracket, and increase in child credits.  We
put most of that money back into the local economy :).  Wonder what
congress would have spent that on?

Children all grown. Any decrease in my taxes has been offset by the
yearly increase in health insurance premiums. Factor in inflation and
we are losing 1-2% every year.

The idea is that _hopefully_ you salary increases faster than that 1-2%
inflation rate. Of course, you would have to be employed for that to happen.
BTW, I have my third (and hopefully final) interview tomorrow. So maybe now
I can be one of those _productive_ citizens I keep reading about. :p

All this talk of financial stuff has thrown my bayesian filter off.
Anyone else have similar experiences with their bayesian filtering?

I'm sure others have already spoken up about this, but in case they haven't, 
just about all the IT workers where I work are non-exempt, meaning they are 
paid time-and-a-half for overtime. Whether or not someone is paid for overtime 
has nothing to do with them being an IT worker, it has to do with an employees 
FLSA (I think that's it) exempt/non-exempt status.

Is there some quick and dirty documentation on setting this up? Sure, sure in 
the time it took me to type this I could have found it on Google, but 
sometimes asking here is more effective.

Thanks.

Mine's still working fine. I train it about every other day and have been for 
the last six months or so.

You can do this in a number of ways.  IBM chose to do all of them.

I was working on the article from Linux Journal, but they were using a script 
for managing the tracks and splitting them that turns out to be arcane and 
obscure, won't install on my system.

Here is the quick and dirty documentation for setting up DNSBL for 
sendmail:

/etc/mail/sendmail.mc
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `dnsbl.sorbs.net', `"554 Rejected " $&{client_addr} " found in dnsbl.sorbs.net"')dnl

and after you add that line into your sendmail.mc file, you have to run 
it through the m4 macro utility and send sendmail the HUP signal to reread 
the configuration.  

Chances are, if you didn't build sendmail (aka Redhat, Debian, Mandrake)
you will have to hunt for the m4 configuration file to regenerate the .cf
configuration.  This is one of the big reasons why people hate sendmail.
