I get a crapload of spam from the UAE (Dubai) and the only way I can think about how my email got harvested was that I once wrote a letter on an Al-Jazeera forum mentioning that not all Americans want to invade Iraq when the current Gulf War started.
You know, the USA should invade the UAE to stop that sort of international scamming.

You seem to know nothing of cats. They don't rub to ask for food. They rub to mark territory (you) or family (your mother in law and your spouse). The difference in rubs: side of the mouth rub for territory, forehead bump/rub for family.
Cats will only drink non-stagnant or newly puddled water. Dropping one piece lets her know when the water gets changed. She's probably not drinking _until_ it gets changed, so she's not getting enough water. Cats should get a change of water once a day at least.
getting aggrevated about cats littering in your garden, [...] You do realize that garden soil is full of dead bugs and excrements, composted plants, and that you will get your hands dirty when gardening anyway?
Cat excrement and urine is packed full of ammonia, which can kill a lot of flowers sensitive to soil PH (especially since cats tend to use the same spot many times). For avid gardeners who spend hours each day, a cat's 30 second midnight visit can ruin lots of effort.
You have the most awesome password ever. I'm going to guess 512 shifts? But is it right shift or left shift?

In my practice setting up sftp server is a problem due to lack of sftp server software. Yes, there is openssh based sftp server which can do almost nothing.
No sql, no non filesystem quotas, no virtual fs etc.
My chocolate ice cream didn't come with pickles for my sandwich either. See, I can make ridiculous requirements too. Why would SFTP provide SQL, quotas, virtual filesystems? It's a &@$^!* %$# secure file transfer protocol, not your mother.

why don't they just include a standard graphical sftp client in windows and mac?
You're joking, right? Admit that SMB and AFP aren't the bestest file transfer protocols ever? Apple maybe since they have ssh(d) built in, but Microsoft never will. MS has had ample time to add ssh/sshd to their OS. IIRC, OpenSSH is released under the BSD license, so MS can do whatever they want with it. They refuse.

He spelled "Muphry's" just fine. The problem is that he misspelled "Murphy's".
So you're saying that he intended to cite Murphy's Law, but linked to Muphry's instead (a specific case of "Murphy's" where comments regarding misspellings invariably contain misspellings themselves)? Since this would be a good accidental occurrence, I don't think it would be an example of the "Murphy's" class of Laws. BTW, Murphry's =/= Muphry's =/= Murphy's...

That would smack of playing "catch up" and introducing a "me too" product. Does that sound like Apple?
Yes. The last Apple commercial I saw: "Copy & Paste: New on the iPhone 3GS" Their desktops and servers are using intel chips now. MacOSX proponents were constantly touting "UNIX underpinnings!" Apple does a lot of innovating, but in their innovation, they purposefully ignore others' years old achievements, then add them in a "me too!" style to sell version 2.0 of their innovation.

It's ONLY when we have a spammer-serial-killer that spammers will stop.
Or when there's an official record of one, and a report of another on the loose. Neither have to be real.
