interview today with the surviving lawyer who spammed Usenet with multiple "Green Card Lottery" posts in '94." And today we can get spam in 20 different languages. Hurray.

The reporter was just trying to get people to visit the CNET.com site which they seem to have done by getting this article posted on/. Personally I think no one should go visit or even read the thing and e-mail CENT.com and tell them they are idiots for even talking to the guy.

Are you defending John Lennon's killer?
If he's not, I will. Mark David Chapman should be a national hero. Hell, maybe even a world hero. He did us all a favor by eradicating one more hippie who thought that merely by wishing the world were a place where "like, just sitting down and talking, man," would actually solve any problems, he could make it so. Seriously, listen to the lyrics to "Imagine." Lennon was a twit (and a hack lyricist to boot). Now listen to the lyrics to "The Ballad of the Green Berets" (SSG Barry Sadler, I believe). That's good American music!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for diplomacy; negotiations that will stop armed conflict before it starts are a Good Thing. But sometimes you have to give war a chance (apologies to P.J. O'Rourke).
Here's to you, Mark David Chapman, for having the courage to do what so many others couldn't.
