And I was worried about drop koalas. Now I have to worry about drop bears?!
I'm pretty sure the term "government" is synonymous with "idiots". Nature of the beast I suppose.
Thanks for the info! Good stuff.

If anything this actually hurts opportunities for females. All this has done was create an environment where females may end up excluded because anything a male says could be used against them to cost them their jobs. I don't think this person even understands the magnitude of what she's done. Job loss is a Big Deal (tm). Immature jokes entirely NOT DIRECTED at you or even your gender from behind you in a crowd is nothing. Unless they were directing these comments at her I don't even see how this got to this level. Is there something I missed here? How is this not misandry?

Something I was discussing with my wife recently was if reading online counts. Most of my "scholarly" reading comes from Slashdot mostly which seems to be comprised primarily of educated folk. How much does this kind of reading contribute to traditional reading comprehension?

Ask Slashdot: How Do You Handle SPF For Spam Filtering? 187

An anonymous reader writes "Our organization had had a decent SPF record of our own for a long time. Recently, we decided to try using SPF for filtering inbound mail. On the up side, a lot of bad mail was being caught. On the down side, it seems like there is always a 'very important' message being caught in the filter because the sender has failed to consider all mail sources in writing their record. At first, I tried to assist sending parties with correcting their records out of hope that it was isolated. This quickly started to consume far too much time. I'm learning that many have set up inaccurate but syntactically valid SPF records and forgotten about them, which is probably the worst outcome for SPF as a standard. Are you using SPF? How are you handling false positives caused by inaccurate SPF records?"

I recently took a business class and one of our speakers referred to "The LLC barrier has been punctured so now your best bet is to go with an S-Corp" if I recall correctly. Anyone have any insight on this?

Whatever, AC. I appreciate it. Misinformation pisses me off and this crowd usually respects when folks aim to fix it.

That's part of their script these days. I received the same speech on both US coasts within a week. "Is there anything about these machines you know that I don't?" You'd think I wouldn't have to answer that question over and over and over but alas. I figure I may as well make it as uncomfortable for them as it is for me. I don't mind being felt up. To be fair - the pat downs have been nothing but absolutely professional. That is, assuming you consider a pat-down professional.
