why are nerds so goddamned predictable?

[rone]

rone: Hmm, the production mail server is running an ancient version of Postfix. I need a newer version that supports milters. But this version of CentOS doesn't have a newer version of Postfix in its yum repository. Well, perhaps some enterprising person on the Net has filled my need. Let's ask Google.

Google: Here you go, a mailing list archive for CentOS.

Person with my same need: Hey, mailing list. Anyone have an RPM that fits my needs that i can use with yum?

Filthy nerd #1: If this is a dedicated mailserver, i prefer installing postfix from source.

Filthy nerd #2: If you are going to compile everything, why not use Gentoo?

rone: I am going to set these motherfuckers on fire.
