Slashdot Mirror
When Good Spammers Go Bad
pfleming writes "According to this blog article on BadTux by Eric Green, the constant harrassment of spammers has a price. You get a Cease and Desist letter- or more correctly, your ISP gets a C/D letter. But, if you're a hard core geek you just might get your site more notice as it gets mirrored out onto sympathetic hosts.
Also mirrored in other locations."
Just failed to access his site. Lawyers may fail to shut it down, but slashdot can do it in seconds! :-)

Damn, the trolls are busy this morning.

When good Spammers go bad?
:: Jonsey's Head Explodes ::
Logically, the only good spammer, is a dead spammer.
Therefore, all good spammers are past their experation date already.
So logically, all good spammers must be bad.
I assert that my comment is only my opinion, not that of any employer, past, present or future.
having the main mirror of a slashdoted webpage hosted on a free geocities page = Bad idea.

Erm, you mean like Microsoft Bad, Linux Good?

... if someone wrote a nice piece of mass mailing software that would be free, look great, run fast, spam people like there's no tomorrow and available under a "free but get your paws of my source code" license? I mean, we don't want the spammers to be able to realize that their latest toy doesn't actually send anything and has more backdoors then a Win95 alpha version, now do we? And it automagically has to hook up to a webcam if available, so we can have a laugh as a spammer realizes all his computers are now hosting illegal crap like Britney/Nsync/Linkin Park MP3s, various bad Disney animations as MPGs and files like "SCO_Unixware_kernel.tar.gz" while a RIAA/MPAA APC drives his/her front window!
Bonus points if said program makes a AYB quote the moment the spammer is sued into the nine hells themselves!
Hate me!

"Slashdotted!
Not available at the moment due to the Slashdot Effect. Will be back shortly as a (much faster) static page. Thank you for your patience."
So should this be a new error message? I'm thinking 501 - Slashdot...

Heck, if you're going to do that, just put up some pictures of your cats or something. It's Slashdot, it's not as though anyone's going to actually read the article before spouting off, we'll just skim it for mentions of Microsoft, Lunix and DMCA, then roll out the standard flames.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.

"Indeed it is apparent both from the name of the evidence-eliminator-sucks site and from its contents that the sole purpose for its existence is to conduct a defamatory campaign against the good reputation of our client and their product(s)."
What good reputation?
Imagine my dissappointment when I went to the site and there was no video! It was all text. I at least expected grainy video of a street brawl between two nerds: glasses and calculators flying.
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
In the blue corner we have a web site that appears to sell something of use only to crooks and pedophiles. "Evidence Eliminator" sounds about as decent as "Sperm Washer" or "Easy Hotwire".
In the red corner we have a shrill and somewhat incoherent geek with time to waste (and apparently more interested in getting even than getting a job).
Both parties tend to long self-justified rants. We feel sympathy for the red corner because he seems to be motivated by morals rather than money. But wait... he just wants his reputation restored, does not care whether people are ripped off by the product.
The blue corner are obviously the Bad Boys, the tag team of hate. They like shouting at the crowd more than actually getting down to business. We don't know quite what they're shouting about, but frankly, we can't wait for Red Boy to jump into the ring and smash their stupid heads against the ropes.
Only Red Boy seems to lying unconscious on the floor... it's a Knock Out!!! The Slashdot crowd - all ten million of them - have jumped into the ring and are smashing the ref, the Tag Team of Hate, and Red Boy with anything they can get hold of: chairs, empty drink cans,...
Later, order returns to the scene. The ref announces a draw, and everyone asks "what the heck was that about?" No-one seems to know, but one of the bikini-clad girls holding the score signs thinks that whatever it was, it wasn't worth breaking a nail over. She looks at her hand glumly.
I mean... Jesus!!

I prefer to think of it as "opt-out" . If they negletected to mention an optout link (or it doesnt work) you reboot there computer untill the mailing list is corrupted and your e-mail address is removed .

500 Internal Server Error
You'd have to start at at least 506 - but then that might be used by later http implementations501 Not Implemented
502 Bad Gateway
503 Service Unavailable
504 Gateway Timeout
505 HTTP Version not supported
better to just add a new block of response codes:
600 Server Slashdotted
601 Databaser fried
602 Redirect to Google Cache
603 Redirect to Goatse.cx
604 Random error from 4xx/5xx code
605 Cowboy Neal
Or just use the HTTP response that I seem to get a lot when viewing slashdot:
