Overheard

“The superior man contains the means in his own person. He bides his time and then acts. Why then should not everything go well? He acts and is free. Therefore all he has to do is to go forth, and he takes his quarry. This is how a man fares who acts after he has ready the means.”

“Greatness is only a matter of will.  It is the end result of patience, determination, direction and strength.”

“kindergarchy n. Rule or domination by children; the belief that children’s needs and preferences take precedence over those of their parents or other adults.”

“The Northeast Blackout affected 50 million people and zero PEER 1 customers. Find out why.”

“As in 2007, the average U.S. worker has 14 vacation days this year. Just across the Canadian border, our counterparts get an average of 17 vacation days annually. But if you want a real “vacation envy” complex, consider the vacation banks of European workers. France tops the list with an average of 37 days, followed by Italy (33 days), Spain (31), the Netherlands and Austria (28), Germany (27) and Great Britain (26). “

Comments

I've noticed that it's gotten worse lately as well. It still correctly marks about 15 pieces for each one that slips through, which is a decent ratio considering I get about 800 a day, so I'm not complaining too much. But I agree that removing the stuff using foreign character sets should be a no-brainer.
