Nick's book is very good, and he has managed to "give away" a lot of the tricks of the trade that are used by Sendmail, Inc. Professional Services.
Sendmail (the app, not the company) scales quite nicely if you know what you are doing - I've installed sendmail on a couple of old dual-proc HP's and they handle about 2 million messages a day. Yes, that's right; 2 MILLION. It's a "simple" matter of tuning and knowing the file system.
Don't hack the.cf directly. There be dragons there. Use M4.
And, if another tool works better for you (exim, postfix, qmail) - use it! I don't always recommend sendmail, either.

When you open your shop to the public you lose certain rights as to who may and may not enter, and what you may and may not do to them when they do enter.
This crosses the line. Treating all of your customers like criminals is wrong.
You can damn well bet that I would sue the holy crap out of them if their system fingered me. But it won't - I won't be shopping there.
And, yes, there will be a letter sent to them saying why.
The one thing I have not seen brought up here was that the Kyoto treaty - as badly as it was flawed - was a treaty.
That means it must be signed by the U.S. Congress before it has any force of law - and even then a treaty cannot be enforced that the Supreme Court deems to be in violation of the U.S. Constitution. Not that Kyoto would be overturned - I'm simply pointing out that the Senate is not allowed to give away Constitutional rights by treaty.
Whether President Bush signs it or not has no bearing. The Senate had a test vote, and it was voted down 97-0 - there is no chance that Kyoto would ever be ratified by 2/3 of the U.S. Senate.
Sorry if that makes the Euros unhappy, but that is life.
True; you can't protect property with lethal force. However, you can try to prevent someone from stealing or damaging your property. If they try to harm you as you protect your property you can protect YOURSELF with lethal force. This is true in every state that I know of (with the possible exception of MA, but they are so screwed up that they make CA look sane).
That being said, it wouldn't matter in this case. The Repo man is a representative of the legal owner of the vehicle. In reality, it would be more justifiable for the Repo man to protect himself while taking the vehicle.
You idiot. If this is the case, then why didn't we see a rash of this sort of behaviour during the 50's and 60's, when you could buy a handgun or rifle by mail order, no questions asked?
And don't tell me "The weapons today are more powerful". The AK47 was developed in 1947. The Model 1911.45 handgun was developed in 1911. None of this is new - it has been around far longer than most readers of/.
It is what you are taught. Children today are not taught that killing is wrong; nor are they taught that their actions have consequences. A respect for life and a firm fear - yes, fear - of the consequences for their misdeeds must be established. Otherwise no amount of law will help you.
And please don't prattle on about "controlling access to guns". You can't do it. It still hasn't worked in England: English gun bans a total failure
All your solution would do is disarm the law abiding public - the criminal, who is already willing to commit murder - is not going to obey the law. Or are you going to create a "magical" law that criminals will obey?
Do us a favor and try to think before you post, ok?

Yay! Another reason to leave this lousy state.
Rod simply wants to increase the rate at which Illinois is depopulating.
I'll be glad to help out.
Now I get to use the money I saved by buying a mini-Ipod and use it on a .357 magnum.
Actually, that's not so bad now that I think of it...
"Promiscuous relay for all"?
Perhaps prior to 8.9 - but we're up to 8.12, bucko.
But don't let me stop you from making critical comments about things you know nothing about. I don't want to ruin your fun.

Yeah. That's it. Qmail sucks.
And postfix never did much for me, either. Don't even talk to me about Exim.

Oh, yeah, that Clinton administration was really on our side. Remember that Amicus brief on the behalf of the RIAA?
Gore lost. Get over it.
