It never fails. As I type, Windows 2000 is reinstalling on my gaming system. Why, may you ask, would I do such a thing? Were it a GNU/Linux system, such an act would be preposterous! The simple, sad truth of the matter is, I thought I would spent a few moments [...]
The state of Florida’s investment plan retirement management company, Ernst & Young, really sucks. (It’s useful to note that CitiStreet is involved and sucks, too.) Some of that might simply be silly Florida laws, but it is nonetheless annoying. My goal is simple: rescue my retirement funds from the sadly inept options [...]
A couple of years ago, I was singing the praises of milter-greylist.
