well,
for those with *spam* problems, might I suggest dutiful use of spamcop (it is 
free after a fashion).

it also helps to use mail filters in Kontact (formerly Kmail). its saved me no 
end of time. between the filters, the manual larting of some domains and the 
spamcop reporting, I am down to less than 10 spams a day. :)

as for the OT stuff, eventually it comes back around to linux (in some form or 
another) or gets to be related to it in some way.

now, about bad drivers and even worse traffic light settings: would it have 
not been easier to have every traffic light networked through a linux server 
network? would have made changing traffic control a snap instead of the 
current system which will cost some $30 billion to upgrade and change over 
the next 10 years? <how's that for bring an ot subject back on topic?>
