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 ;)

    Well written by another
    Herein rings quite true:

    Negative one, Troll
    It is a badge of honor
    Worn on my penis.

    This is my troll Shakespearean sonnet.
    Boldly here I break the haiku rule.
    Karma; excellent; I have to waste upon it.
    So let good flames, this writ here fuel.

    A haiku's beauty is surely found
    In crystallizing; beautiful, an essence.
    In reducing an experience to the profound
    Surely this ignores Spam's putrescence.

    Entropic mass, with nothing there discreet:
    Is such that comprises Spam's nature
    For whether the missive or the meat,
    It surely defies any essence of character.

    For be well warned o ye who would haiku,
    and look for this poem in my messages to you.

    Haikus won't stop spam
    no more than ISPs will
    stop RIAA

    This FP is claimed by a counter-faction to the CLiT, the Cadre of Logged Out Trolls, or CLoT. The CLoT will soon control the FP's on Slashdot, under a cover of darkness that will only strengthen us. Do not resist us, for that is futile. CLiT members! Check the "Post Anonymously" box on your reply page, and join us in this massive masquerade ball. Do not be worried, for the CLoT is still underwritten by goatse, so the common element of trolling is still there. Do not fear, because the power of goatse will still be the lowest common denominator of the Slashdot troll.
    Power to the CLoT!
