Land of the Lemmings, v2

And I thought the flyboy act on the carrier was disgusting. This is just revolting:
“Or, and this is a real possibility, we could see President Bush giving his acceptance speech at Ground Zero,” he added. “It’s clearly a venue they’re considering.”
As if I needed another reason not to vote for Dubya.

So, abstinence is going to pay off, huh?
Not to imply that parents shouldn’t be taking some responsibility for this kind of thing, but can’t schools at least give some education other than ‘don’t do it’.

When installing amavisd-new on Gentoo with McAfee’s uvscan, you need to install:

• Before you emerge amavisd-new (which installs clamav), emerge dev-libs/gmp, as mentioned in the clamav FAQ

I’m working on a webform to compare the tax impacts of various levels of 403(b) deductions. And I can tell its been some time since I wrote any perl or even any web forms. But, I’m using some cool data structures:

my %monthly = (
        single  => [ 26767, 12392, 5708, 2567,  808, 221, 0 ],
        married => [ 27175, 15463, 9838, 5396, 1858, 667, 0 ],
        );

Hopefully I’ll get this figured out in the next couple nights.
