Your daily dose of spam... rjwoodhead writes "Hansard, the official journal of the UK parliament, reports on a recent discussion of spam in the House of Lords which not only mentions Monty Python, but reads like one of their skits." A New York spammer has been arrested. One account isn't scientifically representative, but it's a grim picture when you're showing a spam-doubling every 42 days. And an article in New Scientist suggests solving a puzzle, which is essentially the same idea as hash cash.

You're a troll but I'll bite.

Go back to your Windows infected environment. Just because you can say a few keywords doesn't mean you aren't a newbie( This isn't Google you know).

BTW, I recommend medical care. The Windows environment has spread into your brain. Tragic.
