Australian Considers Outlawing Spam
An anonymous reader writes "The Sydney Morning Herald has an article on spam down under. I guess it goes to show that if something that bothers us also bothers enough politicians then something may be done. Interestingly, the article discusses international co-operation wrt spam. Good thing too. With only 2% of the global economy, it'll take more than Australia to beat the spam problem. Perhaps someone should send a 'group letter' to all relevant politicians in various countries to start co-operating? :)" Update: 04/16 11:56 GMT by H : There's another article on the subject as well, running in The Australian.
How much longer do you folks suppose sourceforge.net will be around? I assume they'll run out of money at some point here. A year? Six months? Three months?
"...international co-operation wrt spam..."
excuse me, exactly what is "wrt spam"? Is that the canned meat variety, or junk mail?
This is my sig. Its pathetic.
MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. - A daughter of Sen. Ernest Hollings (news, bio, voting record) was found dead in her home, authorities said.
Salley Hollings, 46, one of the senator's four children, was found Tuesday morning by her daughter, The (Charleston) Post and Courier reported. There were no signs of foul play and the results of the autopsy could take weeks, Charleston County Coroner Susan Chewning said.
"It could be anything," Chewning said.
Salley Hollings' 12-year-old daughter found her mother unresponsive on the floor, a police report said. Authorities said she had been dead for several hours.
The senator, 81, was in South Carolina during the Senate's recess and had planned to see his daughter and granddaughter.
"It's tough, but we're going to make it," he said Tuesday night from his Isle of Palms home. "You just have to believe in the Lord and keep on going."
That's what get you bitch!

As an Australian, and therefore a citizen of a former penal conony, I play by jail rules.
So YOU shut up, or I'll fuck the turd back up into your throat.
Yes, and French considers outlawing English while German consider outlawing Budweiser and Chinan consider outlawing money.
Who the hell would rate this as redundant? It answered the question of the parent who quoted text from the ORIGINAL FRICKING ARTICLE.
Some of these moderators should meet me in person, so that I can "enlighten" them.
yes and then we could send off Hans Blix and his merry band of village idiots to find the spam.
