As someone who's been longboarding for years (including commute), I would be interested in something that:
* Would let me ride normally, without using the motor at all (e.g. gear in neutral).
* Would recharge going down hill.
* Would assist me going up a steep hill.
My current board is 40+ inch Arbour board that I got for around $200 5-6 years ago. Every couple of years, I spend ~$40 on new barings (too lazy to maintain).
I don't actually want an electric board most of the time, as it's one of few sources of exercise for me, but it'd be nice to have an assist going up hill.
How far does this go for you? If, let's say, you witness wrongdoing performed by your employer, would you go along because, well, you promised to do a good job when you interviewed?
Good to hear that Dovecot scales. I personally went with Cyrus because at the time I was picking an IMAP server, Cyrus was already a well tested solution known to scale. As I recall, Dovecot back then was still young and developed by one person. I've heard a lot of good things about it since though. I'm sticking with Cyrus since it works fine for me, but it's good to have options.
> never put postfix's spool and dovecot's storage on the same physical device and I/O controller. /var/log must live on the separate device too.
This probably depends on the mail volume, no? I host all mail related services for myself and some family on a $9/month VPS (1 VCPU, 512 MB RAM, and pedestrian I/O capabilities) without any issues. My mail volume is typically under 20K messages/day.
I've personally not found this difficult. Unless perhaps you're dealing very large volumes of mail and overhead of SpamAssassin is an issue. Mail volume in 10s of thousands/day on a low end VPS has been no problem for me.

Droid 4 is a currently shipping phone that has one. I've been using it since Droid 2. Don't care for the extra heft and sub par picture quality, but love the keyboard when an emergency comes up and I have SSH into a server while away from a proper computer.
I'm curious, why run 4 disks in RAID6 instead of RAID10? You loose two disks worth of capacity to RAID in either case, but with RAID6 there's also parity overhead, slower recovery, slower performance, especially in degraded mode?
I do as well. That also opens up other possibilities like the ability to just drag and drop an email between IMAP accounts. The other day I was getting smtp errors from Google, so I sent a work email from a personal account, then dragged it to work sent items, because I won't remember to search for it in personal.
We use Postini at work and it is terrible. Normal Gmail filters are much better. I hear Google is replacing Postini with something they developed themselves.
I couldn't imagine not filtering my mail. I hate seeing spam too much. To a point where minimizing it is an obsession. I spent a considerable amount of time on this about 10 years ago, but very little since [1].
Anyway, just did a quick search through mail.log and in the past 24 hours, I got 4017 SPAMS that were rejected at SMTP time by Postfix [2], about 40 SPAMs got through those, but caught by SpamAssasin [3]. 0 spam delivered to inbox. 0 false positives. 126 legitimate mails.
I'd looked into greylisting some years ago, but never implemented because I didn't like the idea of delivery delays.
So I'm in complete agreement with you regarding how effective SMTP level checks + rbl are, but I disagree regarding statistical filtering -- Bayes was key for me to getting 100%. I had put off adding this layer for years, because I didn't fully understand or trust it, but now I'm a believer. Also, once trained, it just works. I rarely look at my spam folder. Retraining is easy, I just drag a rare false positive/negative to HamCaught/SpamMissed folders then nightly training script auto learns.
[1] I was an email admin at a local gov agency, then tried to get into email hosting biz, so it wasn't just personal obsession.
[2] Using things like standard helo/client/sender/recipient restrictions, with very few custom rules, and rbl check using spamhaus.
[3] SA + razor/pyzor/bayes, again with very few custom rules.
I may be wrong, but I believe IMAP, the protocol, just defines how IMAP clients/servers should issue and respond to search commands, but doesn't deal with mail indexing and things like that.
Cyrus IMAP, which I use, provides Squatter, which substantially speeds up search, but the IMAP client is still the interface. Performance I get is around a sec for a simple query, a few sec for a more complex one against a folder with 20K messages.
Last I checked, Roundcube had very limited search capabilities. Thunderbird is much better, but I'd prefer a terminal based search. Something like SQL. Does anyone know of a tool like that?

Not sure I'd spend more than $400-$500 though.
