So, I finally broke down and turned on SpamAssassin on my email account, so all spam is tagged with the appropriate header, and then defined a filter to drop it into the Junk folder.

Hey flist, I have this crazy God complex and want to have a homepage which is a personalized aggregate of feeds and such – like iGoogle, PageFlakes, etc. Two questions: 1.)

This one bit me the other day. Basically, if you're using a network printer and are sending too much data to a raw socket (because of a big job), it times out and the job fails. To fix it, switch it to use lpd instead of socket. Of course, this has me thinking about just [...]
