10. November, 2002 - current news
- I added How to install SpamAssassin on OpenBSD with sendmail to the website. Another thing that I figured out that might be useful to someone.
- I also added Running around with Eric, Santa Cruz Mountains and Slack day in San Jose to my vacation writeup for this year. Nothing left but the conference now.
- US accused of executing six alleged al-Qaida members with a robotic plane in Yemen. Hrm. Guess they were a Clear and Present Danger . [boing boing]
- Yet another reason I have a beard [flutterby]
- Coping with CWD takes caution, common sense.
For whatever reason, people seem to think CWD is even scarier, and that doesn't make any sense to me.
Well, maybe the reason is that in the case of chronic wasting disease, it's our food that could kill us. But my friends who go hunting are out trying to nail bambi this weekend, regardless.
- More than 650,000 Minnesotans sign up for do-not-call list since Monday.
- Why some pollsters got it so wrong on election day. Cell-phones, caller-ID, minorities, shoddy methodology, and not taking into account the error-bars. Polling by phone misses people who only have cell-phones. Polling on the internet skews things a different way. And lots of people just don't want to talk to some stranger who intrudes on their dinner. [strib]
- Once strongly pro-DFL, Minnesota sliding to right says the Strib. I think it's more a matter of the DFL having slid away from the voters.
The Democratic Party is just out of touch.
And the Wellstone memorial that turned into a pep-rally turned off a lot of voters. [strib]
- One-party rule has its pitfalls for the Republicans, too. If When they screw us, there won't be the democrats to blame. [strib]
- Daschle: Don't blame the message. See, voters were just too stupid to understand what the Democrats' message was. Or the Dems' candidates couldn't articulate it. Yeah, that's the ticket. [fark!]
