How many times does this have to happen before they figure this out?
Whale Stranding in N.C. Followed Navy Sonar Use
I've read this same article at least ten times now, over the last few years. Cause and effect, people. It's not that hard to put two and two together. I'm so furious I could scream. If one single American human had lost their life "in connection" with these "experiments" you can be sure that the whole thing would be shut down immediately. But no, they just keep doing it, saying that there's no way to determine "conclusively" that there is a relationship between the sonar use and the beachings. Just like there's no way to prove "conclusively" that our excessive use of fossil fuels is leading to global warming.
Get your heads out of the sand. It's the twenty-first century and some of us actually believe in the scientific method, even when it's not convenient.
Thanks to Carl and the helpful guys at his ISP, I've finally found out what's making Spam Assassin more likely to tag ordinary e-mails that I send as spam. It was causing me a major headache a few months ago, and I never really got resolution on why, and why it was only happening on one account, on one machine, and not my other account on my other machine with the same client.
OK, this is hilarious. It was my .sig file. I have my job title, Document Production Specialist, in my .sig. Now look at the word "Specialist." Right in the middle is a word that the spam filter was keying on, and it hated that word enough to block the e-mail without second thought. Yup, "Cialis!" The default settings on Spam Assassin apparently look for the character string, whether it's a word by itself or not.
I'd say that's a bug. And it would probably explain why thousands upon thousands of e-mails go "missing" every day for no good reason.
*Sigh* Oh, and on top of that somone's sending out mortgage spam with my e-mail as the return address. What's it going to take to stop the spamming? I can't believe people are actually making any money from all the garbled crap I see in my in-box.
