With the release of Fedora 12 a few months ago, I&#8217;m taking the holiday break from work to get my servers up to a more current version of Linux.
The fact that Fedora 10, the version of Linux I am currently running, is no longer going to [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve noticed that many of the big names put the &#8220;Report as spam&#8221; button way too close to the delete [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago I commented on how much I liked the Yahoo Complaint Feedback Loop.
Well, I think I&#8217;m going to revise that statement slightly.
While I still like the idea &#8230; and their general implementation &#8230; it doesn&#8217;t really seem to be working.
Even though I&#8217;ve gotten a number of reports from the feedback loop, my [...]]]></description>

They usually adapt quickly to my level of technical expertise and take my word for it when I report a problem.  Once the failing component has been identified, they quickly setup the appropriate dispatch to get [...]]]></description>
