Take out the word "kids" and this is pretty much exactly what I have done. I would like to add a few points, though:
0) Be very careful about who you give you email address to 14) In addition to using dnsbls in the above steps, write a PERL script to parse your mail logs to see who has tried to send you spam, optionally use nslookup to see who/where they are, and shove some/all of those IPs in/etc/hosts.deny. 15) If you don't know anybody in Elbonia, put all of Elbonia's IP ranges in your/etc/hosts.deny 16) Set up a catch-all email address. Then tell Company X that your email address is companyX@yourdomain, and repeat for other companies. That way if you get spam to one of those addresses, just start denying emails to that address (and stop patronizing the company who sold you out) 16a) If you like, make up a little encoding that you can do in your head, such as "take the 3rd letter of the company name. Increment by 2. Pick an animal that starts with that letter. Add a dot and the animal name just before the @. So now you'd give Best Buy "BestBuy.unicorn@yourdomain". Don't tell anybody else the code. If you receive any emails to the catchall account that don't follow the code, then they're from someone who figured out that you have a catchall, so reject them.
Well put, Keytoe. And, ditto. This new therapy absolutely won't work for the "hooking up" crowd. But yeah, my wife also has tons of negative side effects from The Pill, and has pretty much run out of different brands to try. If this Male Pill were on the market, I'd go out and get it today, to see if just maaaaaybe it would be a better solution for us overall.
Actually the (female) pill can be taken that way for a few days at a time, if the user is sick and vomitting, or for some other reason can't keep it down. Better option than lapsing longer than you're "allowed" to and then having to abstain until next month.
I went to Japan in October. About 4 months prior, I picked up the first lesson of the Learn in your Car series from Penton Overseas at Borders. I listened to it about 2/3 of the time on my commute to and from work (30 minutes each way). I'm very satisfied with the amount of Japanese I was able to learn and retain with that amount of studying, and would recommend these courses. No, I'm not affiliated with the publisher in any way. What this course teaches you is travel dialogue - currency, air/train/taxi travel, hotel/restaurant phrases, giving/receiving directions, and numbers. I don't know what lessons 2 and 3 (i.e. CDs 4-9) teach you as I didn't buy them. Lastly, kudos for you for wanting to learn a foreign language. Too many people in this world only learn one language in their lifetimes.
Fire up Blender, 3ds max, or what have you, and model a cool looking shell for the flash drive's guts. Then send the file to a 3D printing service such as www.3dArtToPart.com.

I have an LG drive that fried last month. I put in a CD-ROM of The Rosetta Stone's teach yourself Hindi program, and the machine shut down. Power button did nothing - have to turn off the switch in the back, wait 15 seconds, turn the switch back on, and then hit the power button. Now, if I put any CD in the drive, the machine immediately powers down. I would think it a driver issue, except that if I turn the machine on with a CD in the drive, it powers itself down while still in the BIOS stage of the boot. Anybody else hear of anything like this? PS This is on my Win2k box, not my RH8 box.
Check out www.tdiclub.com for more info than you ever wanted about VW TDIs. I own a 99 TDI Jetta, and people in my circle of friends own 98, 00, and 01 Beetles and an 01 Jetta, all TDIs. Almost all of us have experienced the Window Regulator problem, but VW has extended the warranty on this to 7 years, and if one goes out they will replace both with the redesigned part free of charge. Nice how they take care of you like that. Gas mileage is wonderful, but really declines if you're a leadfoot like me. I drive about 80mph, and get maybe 38mpg. But on my trip from Indy to Cleveland and back I kept it at 55mph and got 51mpg. We took a 4-car trip from Indy to Toronto a while back, and I gotta say, sitting there in the Jetta not needing to buy fuel at 2 of every 3 fillup stops that the other cars needed was the greatest feeling. Diesel isn't at every gas station, but it's easy enough to find, especially near highways. Biodiesel mixes are starting to appear - it's at I'd say 3 stations per state, on average. More if you don't live in a stupid state like Indiana. My only big gripe is that parts are difficult to find - for instance, I needed a new battery last week, and Sears didn't sell a compatible one. So I had to get one from the dealer, which was $125. If you're willing to wait for shipping, www.vwpartscentral.com is a good source. Lastly, I can't agree more with the previous poster about the handling. Beautiful.
This technology is already in use (Yahoo! cache of Indy Star article) on the Hyperfix project in Indianapolis. Hyperfix is a project in which they're completely replacing the highway segment in downtown Indianapolis in which Interstates 65 and 70 are multiplexed, in only 85 days. Crews are working 24/7.
In theory, 99% of the gas that that Californian purchases isn't being used in Oregon, assuming he doesn't also go to Oregon for other purposes. So technically, it's California that's getting screwed here, because their roads are being subjected to that guy's share of wear and tear, and California isn't getting any money to contribute to the upkeep of the roads. With the current system, I guess this pretty much balances out, though when travelling through Illinois, for instance, I always try to get out of that state before filling up, because they have high gas prices compared to neighboring states. 'far as I'm concerned, it's Illinois' fault for charging high taxes that they're not getting my money. But I digress. As the article said, they propose only charging for mileage driven within Oregon, through the use of GPS or RF beacons to turn on/off the tax-o-meter at the border. And one would presume they're only proposing to charge Oregon residents (I can't imagine they could send a tracking device to my house in Indy and actually expect me to install it). So they'd be sacrificing a TON of potential tax revenue from out-of-state drivers who fill up in their state. And I don't think it would be fair to make Oregonians' tax rates as high as would be requried to compensate.
Also a good idea to keep a list of important IP addresses handy - your DNS servers, and servers you'd need to access when/if your DNS server went down. I tend to keep them as contacts in my PalmOS device. In addition to that, my emergency toolbox contains instructions on how to convert ext2 to ext3 and back again, since Norton Ghost 2003 doesn't seem to like ext3.

I interviewed 18 months ago with Access Indiana, the company that does the www.state.in.us website. They're doing some great things: you can of course renew your license plates online, you can fill out applications for various permits (i.e. the permit for house builders to connect a driveway to the street), lawyers can browse transcripts of other hearings to look for precedents, etc. It's pretty cool. My only beef is if you have a collegiate logo license plate you still have to go to the DMV in person. (Yes I say DMV even though it's called the BMV in Indiana. It's DMV where I'm from and BMV sounds stupid anyway)
