One of the stupidiest talks about browsers - sorry, but those guys don't grasp it. Read their little article, find at least 5 errors (there are much more in there, but we want to keep this simple, don't we?) and then you can keep them.

I hate borken mail servers and mailfilters going postal. Today bmf played up on me and trashed some mail. Of course there was bound to be some interesting content in there, but I don't know, since I can't read them. fsck. So bmf is out again. But how to get rid of spam? At least bmf filtered enough ...

Squid annoyed me. Again. I had the experience that Squid pings servers even though it shouldn't do. Ok, annoying, but you can cope with that (although it produces timeouts from time to time). I can live with squid sending out requests two or more times even though there really isn't a need to - ...
