I've found that SA does a good job with 419s. Every month or two I get a 419 hit my inbox, but no solution will be able to block 100% of spam without false positives.
SA has been great with respect to false positives. I've only had 1 or 2 non-spam messages ever wind up in the "probably spam" folder (which only sees about 3 spams per day... not too hard to sort through), and have never had a non-spam message rejected outright (if I had, the sender would have contacted me and said, WTF? since I reject during SMTP... I don't/dev/null any mail.)
When my wife did it some white woman totally freaked out, rolled her window up as fast as she could
You know it's funny, I was in the car with my sister-in-law and she did the same thing. I asked her if everything was ok, and she said that there was a bee that flew in and out of the window (she is allergic to bee stings) and she wanted to close the window ASAP while it was on the outside.
It wouldn't surprise me if a black person who happened to be within 100 yards of the car went and told everyone they knew how they were victimized by my sister in law. That is their perception, based on their own prejudices. In reality she was trying to avoid a swollen trip to the emergency room. She was so mortified of the bee, she would not have noticed the presence of any other person.
My point is you don't know a person's intentions, so you should not prejudge them. You should assume the best rather than the worst, unless there is a tangible reason to believe otherwise. Do you really know why this woman rolled up her windows? Did you ask her?
Nope. You and your wife just assumed that because your wife is black and this woman was white that she felt threatened by your wife. You said yourself that it is implausible that your wife could be perceived as a threat, yet you assume this woman found your wife to be threatening simply because of her race. That is a very racist attitude you two have, and I hope you can overcome it.
Do you have any idea how much daycare costs?

Well, until you do, then you can fucking wait until my kids are 18 before taking away my free daycare.
Get a $12,000 home equity loan at 6% amortized over 30 years and you're paying $71.95/mo for your solar panels (it's $101.26/mo amortized over 15 years if you want to pay off faster).
What's your electric bill? The electric bill on my house is about $100-130/mo, so I'd be saving money every month with $0 out of pocket. I could invest that $12k wherever I wanted and deduct my interest payments on my taxes. Of course, I don't live in cali, so none of this really matters to me personally. I just wanted to point out how dumb your comment was.

but I researched every other national cell provider and all had inferior service. If I can't use my phone in the middle of nowhere, then it's worthless for me.
I've NEVER seen an unreasonable speed limit anywhere in my travels. (I've driven in almost every state except, Hawaii and Alaska)
Try Washington DC.
Benning Road. 8-lane highway. Speed limit: 30
M St. 6-lane highway. Speed limit: 25
Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue. In a two-block stretch goes from 25 mph to 35 mph and down to 20 mph. How the fuck are you even supposed to know what the speed limit is?
There are more examples. New York Ave, 6-lane divided highway, speed limit: 35. I'm sure I'll think of more after I hit submit.
Anyhow, these unrealistic speed limits are zealously enforced with cameras. Mayor Williams has argued publicly time and again that if you remove the cameras and/or make the speed limits reasonable, the District will go bankrupt.
There are tons of unreasonable speed limits out there. If you haven't found any in your cross-country travels, you haven't been paying attention.
And before I give anyone the keys to one of my properties, I run their credit. To do that, I need SSN.
Why should anyone other than those involved with social security have need of that number, and even if they need it temporarily as a way to certify identity, why should they need to store it?
After I run credit, you're goddamn right I hang on to that SSN. What if you damage my property and then try to run without paying to fix the damage? Well, I'm going to track your ass down and make you pay. I'll garnish your wages and your bank account and put a lien on your car and I won't stop until you pay what you owe for the damage you caused.
To do all that, I need your SSN.
So, yeah. I store it. I don't store it online. I don't give it out to anyone. But I do store it.
You'll find that most places say that they check, but in fact they don't, as it costs money for a background check and checking every applicant would cost a fortune.
You better not leave your current job. Sounds like you really lucked out. I hate to burst your bubble, but my National Criminal serches cost me a paltry $25. Hardly a fortune.
If you are honest on your application, I'll at least listen to your story and make a business decision. If you lie on your application, that's a deal-breaker.
It was "Just OK". The battery on my laptop stopped charging. Logical conclusion is that the battery is junk. They fedexed me a new battery which I had the next morning. New battery doesn't charge either.
So we sit on the phone for a while and they determine my MoBo is borked. They had a tech at the office in two days with a new MoBo. He installed it and the battery charges now.
Did they get it right on the first try? No. But that would have been a hard one to get right on the first try. Overall, I am reasonably satisfied. I would have preferred that their MoBos last a little longer than a year without needing replacing.
But they did fix the problem without too much fuss.
Another good tool that does essentially the same thing as Dirvish is rsnapshot. I find Dirvish to have more bells and whistles and rsnapshot to be easier to get set up.
Just wanted to provide a link to another great tool.
What happens if you accidentally delete an important file and don't realize you've done it until a month later? Do you keep your LVM snapshot active for months at a time?
You should check out the rsnapshot utility. It stores multiple snapshots of your data based on times that you specify (I store a week's worth of daily snapshots, a month's worth of weekly snapshots, and then 6 months of monthly snapshots). But it stores using hardlinks, so if a file doesn't have any changes, it doesn't take up any more space in the other snapshots.
Also, it is automated, so you don't have to worry about LVM silently discarding your changes when your snapshot fills up.
For offsite backups, you can do remore rsnapshot, but what I do is every so often tar up my snapshot directory and pipe the tar through gpg which encrypts and compresses very well. Make sure to use gpg -c unless you also have your gpg key backed up somewhere! Anyhow, I burn the resultant encrypted file to CD. (You can use DVD if you have more data... or multiple DVDs).
I use my own fucking mail server to receive mail. I'd love to send mail from it, were it not for the fact that it's on a dynamic IP and thus listed here. Many ISPs reject email if you are on just one RBL, so I started routing my outgoing email through my ISP's mail server when my email was getting bounced.
I have my own domains. I send email from home through Verizon's mail servers, but Verizon doesn't publish an SPF record, so how the hell can I publish SPF for my domains?
That's right, I can't. Because I have no fucking idea what IP or domain name my email is going to be coming from when I send it, and Verizon can change it anyhow.
If they do provide such software, they're not advertising it.
At any rate, I can't imagine this is a pervasive crime. It's not like you can just submit a SSN online and receive $400 in your mailbox each week. They need to verify that you were working, how long you were working for, that your employer was paying your unemployment insurance, that your employer does not contest your unemployment claim, and that your employer terminated you through no fault of your own.
There is no way this is happening on a mass scale.
My first business I started with about $5 and a dream. Not a huge wad of cash for most Americans. Indeed, it's not enough to cover a cup of Starbucks coffee.
Additionally, how many companies of fewer than 5 people would not fall under the Alter Ego condition for piercing the corporate veil.

Palladium would definitely make it expensive...
Perhaps a small, remote station would only need 150k worth of equipment whereas a large, busy station would need more equipment to handle the traffic.
So I'm stuck with Verizon.
How much more seamless can we make it?
