Haiku vs Spam

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it-must-be-august dept.

Mark Cantrell was among several people who sent in a story about a company using "Haiku to Stop Spam. Essentially you use a copyrighted Haiku to tag that a message meets criteria (1 Recipient, Pre-Existing Relationship, etc) which then makes it a simple matter to filter the mail. I'm sure the spammers in China will laugh wildly as they forge the haiku. I challange comment posters to post only Haiku in this discussion ;)

    You offer:

    • "lynx slashdot.org --dump 2>/dev/null|grep haiku"

    In syllables, it still works in Unix. Nicely done!

    • lynx slashdot dot org
      dash dash dump, err to dev null,
      piped thru grep haiku

    But a good haiku is a metaphor between man and nature, still crammed into the syllabic form.

    • The Lynx hunts the weeds,
      ignoring all distraction,
      eyes only its prey.
