Most of the touch sensivity is provided by hair, not the skin itself. In fact, the skinn doesn't feel anything since it's made of dead cells. What gives us the perception of feeling are the nerves beneath the skin which connect to the small hairs outside. High detailed pressure and directional sensivity (used to feel textures) is provided by hair. The remaining touch feeling is the low detailed pressure one described in this article.
We have milions of small hairs all over the skin, even on the fingertips. Try placing two fingertips close to each other in front of your eyes and you will notice that you feel them touching before they actually touch each other, this is because of the small hairs there.
This is also the reason why people have hair on top of their heads, to protect them from accidentally colliding with stuff (and to keep the heat for that matter), my hair has helped me a lot avoidiong painful collisions with solid objects above me in the dark several times.
If you ever tried to shave to the point where there was no more hair on your face (pretty easy if you do it with a shaving blade), you've probably noticed that your touch sensivity decayed a lot for a while (until hair grown bck there later).
I just posted a few hints. You must be able to work them out and pay more attention to little things you find more often in spam than in regular messages.
I will not post my header/body_checks files here since they are far from being a general miraculous solution to the spam problem. They just work for me and the people who send me mail.
What I wanted to say with my previous post is that under specific conditions there are ways of dealing with the problem fairly well, and I am fortunately under such conditions.
As someone who likes us-ascii encoded text messages, I could, for example, add a "/content-type:\stext\/html/ REJECT Go away! Find someone else to spam!" rule to my header_checks file and get rid of all HTML crap (which would therefore block most spam). It wouldn't harm me much because the mailing lists I subscribe are all text-based, but would be too limited for regular users. Obviously I am not using such a rule since some people forward me HTML formatted junk mail (which I read) sometimes. Similarly I have rules which block messages with specific attributes in <img> and <table> tags, imagemaps, <form> tags, etc. These rules are good for me since they still let junk mail in but scrap most spam. Although such rules would probably block your favourite newsletter, so they would not apply to you.
Learn to observe your messages and find common things in the spam you receive which generally do not appear in your regular messages and try to figure what's better for your mailing needs.
Usually most spam which arrives here receives a friendly "550 Go away! Find someone else to spam!" message from Postfix. As a result I never get more than 3 or 4 spam messages a month, and even though my maillog is plenty of rejections, few of them are false positives.
A few well thought regular expressions can do the trick. Most spam comes as HTML formatted messages, and since such messages are usually generated by WYSIWYG editors, they come with all sorts of formatting crap, which makes them easier to spot because their authors care about things such as the border thickness around images inside hyperlinks and so on. Images inside hyperlinks, imagemaps, frames and iframes are also common things in spam, but not in regular messages, so these are other indicators worth of attention.
Of course this doesn't work for everyone, especially for people who don't host their own MTAs, or others who receive a lot of HTML crap in their mailboxes (not my case, I love 7bit us-ascii encoded text messages), but it does a pretty good job for me.

LSB is indeed server-oriented. They don't seem to care much about the bare desktops, and I agree with them here, because there isn't yet consensus on a standard API for graphical user interfaces besides X11R6 itself AFAIK. If they ever flavored an API in deteriment of another, they'd have a hard time explaining their decision to the whole GNU/Linux community. If they really mean to keep their "standard base" status, they better not touch the desktop mess yet.
I think the "dependency hell" depends much on the purpose of the distribution, and the way it is designed and distributed. You can avoid the "dependency hell" completely if your base system is big and you distribute all aditional libraries amongside new software. The advantage of doing so is that you can keep your libraries up to date since new software will come with newer versions. The disvantage of doing so is that it will require some redundancy in order to make sure a package doesn't need anything else besides the base system.
Unlike Windows, GNU/Linux distributions are mainly spread over the Internet (at least I don't know many people who actually buy the discs instead of downloading and burning the ISOs), and the required resources cost money, so in order to keep things as small as possible, dependencies are unfortunately required.
PS: My comment is based on the old LSB, not the new one (which I haven't yet read, guess it's slashdotted).
Increase the time density and everything inside the dense bubble will appear faster to outside viewers, decrease it and it will appear slower to outside viewsers. Although relatively to the viewer inside the bubble, the speed is always the same.
I use this theory to explain the universe as well. There is no time density out of the universe, so nothing can cross its "boundaries".
Energy will decrease the time density, make the universe bigger and relatively "slower", and produce repulsive gravity (I believe energy is the antimatter everyone seeks for).
Matter, in the other hand, will increase the time density, make the universe smaller and relatively "faster", and produce atractive gravity.
No forces are required to keep the time density in place. Just like magnetic fields in tapes, forces are only required to "mold" the time once, then it will stay put until other forces "mold" it again.
This is my stupid, dogmatic and uninformed theory about space, time and gravity, so moderating it down if you wish. It can be used to explain black holes and gravitational fields as well.
Intel's prediction makes sence. We won't be able to communicate with Mars most of the time through TCP, the connections will timeout, so we'r gonna have trouble with interplanetary Internet connections.
However, there is light at the end of the tunnel (and it's not the train comming): Intel has just found the solution for this huge problem and will incorporate it in their Wi-Fi routers, which is undoubltly good news.
In the other hand, how many people predicted the end of the world before the 21st century?
The move to IPv6 will also be another PITA. Daniel Bernstein has an excelent article about this subject with which I completely agree. Due to bad implementation issues, the migranion process isn't easy either.
I wonder if all those people do not have principles. What are they seeking for? World domination? I think people with such invasive ideas should be publicly humiliated until they learned.
Usually I feel compelled to follow the rules and not copy stuff, but this kind of protection makes me kinda think about doing the oposite, not because I need, but because of their intentions to limit my freedom, 'cause I HATE to be forced!
I like to be told what the rules are and what can happen if I don't follow them, but I also appreciate my freedom to choose not to follow them if I wish.
I understand you very well, cause I think the same way, but that's part of the karma game. If you feel that you owe something to another person, e.g.: you think that it might have been your fault (which in your case (and mine too) only happens in emotional issues), you stress up, otherwise you keep it cool.
Due to the way you think I am forced to believe that you are not ambitious, at least I am not, that makes me play safe.
By not getting involved with other people's affairs without their explicit request, I am making sure that:
Nothing is my fault;
If I stay close enough I might be able to help them out later.
The same principles help me dealing with unpredictable conditions, like if I am going to get robbed on the next turn. If it happens, it's completely out of my control, therefore I must accept the situation and spend my time thinking about ways of getting rid of it instead of paniching.
I often write in my resumes that I PREFERE to work under a lot of pressure and unpredictable conditions, in fact I could almost say that I live for the unpredictable.
You can always wrap it out to a higher level OO API and be happy with your own interface. Noone is expected to use system calls directly in an operating system the same way noone is expected to use the lower level APIs for higher level programming. If speed (processor speed, not renderization speed) is such a big concern for you, then you shouldn't be doing OO at first.
