Someone in an online forum asked why roads have those bumps that contain reflectors along the lane markers.
I replied that they’re for blind people so they can know they’re in their lane when they drive.

Software update …
Looks like Spambayes has been updated to 0.9.
This version now includes an installation program for Windows users, which will install either the Outlook Addin (for Microsoft Outlook users), or the spambayes server program (for all other mail client users, including Microsoft Outlook Express).

Optimized Firefox
For those of you using the latest edition of Mozilla’s Firefox web browser on a Microsoft Windows platform, you might want to try an optimized version of the lastet release.
These are recompiled versions of the 0.8 release code, built for specific processors. The different releases are based on the following processor types:
- G7-SSE: Athlon XP, late Duron, Pentium 4, Celeron Pentium 4, Pentium M Centrino, Athlon 64, Athlon FX
- G7: Athlon and early Duron.
- G6-SSE: Pentium III and Celeron Pentium III.
- G6: Pentium Pro, Pentium II, and early Celeron.
- G5: Pentium, K6, K6-2, K6-III, 5×86, 6×86, etc.
You can of course use a lower end build for a later processor, of course, such as the G5 when you have a brand new Athlon 64. Using later builds on earlier processors won’t actually hurt anything, but you’ll have worse performance, if not outright instability in the program.
