  2. Another way to stop spam on your webserver... by ekrout · · Score: 2, Funny

    is to not install Apache at all. Instead, throw a year or two-old copy of Microsoft IIS and watch the virii propagate. You won't have enough bandwidth or enough minutes of up-time to be able to serve pages with email addresses on them ;-)
