Crazy Stats on Spam

gtaylor writes "An article in the Korea Times says that market research firm Emforce has established that South Korean internet users average about 1600 pieces of spam annually, summing to around 39 billion pieces of spam per year. According to the same story, Americans receive about 2500 pieces of spam per year." I figured that I get somewhere around 30-40,000 pieces of spam annually. Lucky me... I get *this* statistic to be on the other side of the bell curve :)

    i am not nitpicking. look at microsoft who has kept black employees from being promoted. look at apple who has pubicly stated that they will not allow blacks to have positions of authority in the company. and lastly, look at linux who, last time i checked could be used, programmed, or bought/sold by anyone, no matter creed, color or religion!

    Additionally when one looks closely at the userbase of Linux, one will see that its made up almost entirely of wealthy white men.

    ha! ha! show me the statistics to back that up. everyone i know that uses linux is some poor guy living in his parent's basement or flat out white trash! anybody can use linux!
