Fighting the Hydra -- A Spam Warrior's Tale

Posted by timothy on from the damned-either-way dept.

Selanit writes "Salon has an interesting article about the battle against spam from the viewpoint of Suresh Ramasubramanian, a sysadmin working in Hong Kong. His most interesting complaint concerns the fragmentation of anti-spam forces: not only does he have to deal with spammers, but also with anti-spammers who assume because his company is Chinese that he isn't doing anything about spam. Hmm ... decentralized opponents striking from the shadows against quarreling allies. Does this sound familiar to anyone else?"

      Wow, that was a fast fp. Almost faster than you French can surrender.

      Okay, I think it's time for you to surrender.

      Remember correctly... You lose Pearl Harbor because you didn't want to enter that war that you should have. You used a nuclear bomb just to take revenge a few days before you knew (or should have known) the Japan would surrender. Later, you engage yourself in a war in vietnam, that you shouldn't have.
      It seems US administrations have never known when war is worthless or not...
      Don't you find weird that most terrorists from 9/11 were from saudi arabia and that you are attacking Iraq ?

      ..and you Frenchies don't care if Iraqi citizens are raped and killed in the streets as long as you're allowed to rape Iraq for cheap oil and put money in Saddam's hands.

      You even gave Saddam atomic bombs for cheap oil rights.

      You don't have to worry about atomic bombs when your country rolls over and surrenders at the first sign of war.

    Eat shit, you greasy pacifist hippies.

    I am sick to death of the ludicrous anti-American ravings of you pissed-off geeks. Do you really believe the rest of us don't see right through your mental pathology? Your entire political philosophy boils down to this: "The cool kids picked on me in high school, and I can't get over it. I hate America"

    You may not be worse than Hitler, but if anyone worse than Hitler ever comes along, he'll be depending on Useful Idiots like yourselves to make this earth a safe place for him.

    If there were any justice in this world (and there isn't, thanks in large part to you dictator-appeasing ubermorons), YOU would be considered legitimate "Targets of Opportunity" for every God-fearing American choosing to exercise his second amendment rights.

    Please wash the sacred blood of Iraqi dissidents and freedom fighters off your filthy hands, then fuck off, die, and fuck off again.

    Does anyone here collect pinworms?

    They live in the intestine and swim in rivers of feces. I was curious as to whether or not anyone collected them? People collect and care for ants and other insects as well as maintaining their own earthworm farms.

    So do you or anyone you know collect pinworms? If so, please post your experiences here.
