Jan 19	comment	How can I filter spam from yahoo's servers? I run through Spamhaus Zen's DNSBL and PSBL - question updated with info. I have considered using spamassassin with a very high threshold but not sure how effective it'll be on this type of spam.

Dec 15	comment	Does orientation affect hard drive lifespan? "If their heads were heavy, and sagging was a problem I'd say that horizontal position would be better" But by a similar argument, the distance between the head and the surface is extremely crucial, and you wouldn't want the same sag to affect that clearance (though I understand there is a "bubble" of air between them).
Dec 15	comment	Does orientation affect hard drive lifespan? It is an excellent point, though the hard drives in iPods are quite different to the hard drives used in desktops/servers. I know, for example, that smaller hard drives can take a LOT more shock and vibration than larger ones. 2.5" drives can take about 10 times as much as 3.5" drives. It's logical that other characteristics would vary with drive size/type as well.

Jul 30	comment	Useful Command-line Commands on Windows Well I use it as an rsync equivalent. But it doesn't do everything rsync does, obviously, like transferring over SSH, the smart delta transferring ability, etc. What it does do is robustly copy files, and all their attributes and permissions, in a way that it doesn't matter if the operation is interrupted (it can be safely and robustly resumed). Useful for backups or when you move to a new drive/filesystem.
Jul 29	comment	Our security auditor is an idiot. How do I give him the information he wants? The company's correspondence with the OP has all the hallmarks of an actual scam. I'd consider reporting it to law enforcement.
