Spammers Sue Anti-Spam Groups
SuperBanana writes "The Register reports in a story today that spammers have banded together under the name EmarketersAmerica.org to sue various anti-spam groups- days before a large conference on spam hosted by the FTC(which will be attended by many spammers). Anti-spam groups think the timing is not by coincidence, but believe the move may backfire because they will be able to countersue and get access to spammer's internal documents. By the way, if you're wondering who these guys are, check out Spamhaus's directory of top spammers."

Did you know that Spam is crazy tasty?

Where do YOU get off deciding what size MY browser window should be? Use relative numnbers for table widths and fonts and you won't be tempted into silly fucking kludges like this.

No, there's nothing stock about stock car racing.
Back through the 1970s there was some stock type stuff (not very much though), but now the cars are basically the same. A part of that was because Chrysler was winning too many races. No one buys Chrysler, so Joe 6-Pack would get annoyed because it wasn't Ford vs. Chevy. So NASCAR was losing the audience. NASCAR kept changing the rules to keep Chrysler from winning so eventually Chrysler left.
It is pretty close to your ideal of watching identical cars making left turns. I believe Ford left too although there's Ford titled bodies running Chevy engines. It's not much of a sport to watch Chevys make left turns for 2 hours.
F1 is a "gentleman's sport" and the guy who's winning the race will pull back on the last lap to let someone else win. I've seen Ferrari drivers do that to let their teammate win. That's annoying, too. All though their engines are a lot more technological.
Road racing is pretty good. There's stock based cars in that.
I like vintage car & motorcycle racing. Most of the cars are rich guys taking their cars out for laps while a few actually race. I've heard that the guys who race are told not to come back though because cars on the tracks can be worth millions. Vintage motorcycle racing is good because those guys race and there's not many people just out for laps.

That has appened only a few times, every time a team decision, and every time the media and fans have raised a big stink about it.
Michael Schumacher was really embarassed when Rubens Barrichello was ordered to let him win. And Rubens let him pass on the last lap, just before the finish line, just to let everyone know that it was a team decision.
