Spamhaus Guru Steve Linford Profiled

BenLev writes "The New York Times has an article profiling Spamhaus Project director Steve Linford. The feature goes behind the scenes at Spamhaus, 'one of the leading groups that is trying to make the world safe from junk e-mail', showing that it operates from Linford's houseboat on the Thames near London, spammers don't like him, and his volunteer corps likens itself to the X-Men."

    i agree. this hand maintained list is stupid too. the spammers arent stupid, they find ways around this shit, and innocent users get screwed by a list rife with false positives.

    this is the same problems IDS and Virus scsnners face. the list is older than the problem, always.

    looks like finding anomalies and using living lists is the way to go, but that actually takes work to develop.

    The 9 Steps to Greased Up Yoda Doll Insertion, the Alpha-Jedi Technique

    1) Defecate. Preferably after eating senna, ex lax, prunes, cabbage and hot sauces.

    2) Wipe ass with witch hazel, soothes horrific burns.

    3) Prime anus with anal ease.

    4) Slather richly a considerable amount of Vaseline or other anal lubricants into your rectum at least until the bend and also take your yoda doll or yoda soap on a rope and liberally apply it.

    5) Pucker your balloon knot several times actuating the sphincter muscle in order to work it in

    6) *NEW STEP* Put a nigger do-rag on Yoda Doll's head so the pointy ear that are like daggers dont lacerate the rectum. This was a very insightful addition to the repertoire by a kind fellow.

    7) slowly rest yourself onto your yoda figurine

    8) make sure to have a mechanism by which to fish yoda out of your rectum, the soap on the rope is especially useful because that is built in.

    9) gyrate gleefully in your computer chair while your fat sexless geek nerd loser fat shit self enjoys the prostate massage you'll be getting. Read slashdot. Masturbate to anime. Email one of the editors hoping they will honor you with a reply. Join several more dating services - this time, you dont check the (desired - speaks english) and (desired - literate). You figure you might get a chance then. Order some fucking crap from Think Geek. Get Linux to boot on a Black And Decker Appliance. Wish you could afford a new computer. Argue that IDE is better than SCSI because you cant afford SCSI. Make claims about how Linux rules. Compile a kernel on your 486SX. Claim to hate windows but use it for Everquest. Admire Ghyslain's courage in making that wonderful star wars movie. Officially convert to the Jedi religion. Talk about how cool Mega Tokyo is. Try and make sure you do your regular 50 story submissions to Slashdot, all of which get rejected because people who arent fatter than CowboyNeal can't submit. Fondle shrimpy penis while making a yoda voice and saying, feel the force, padawan, feeel the foooorce, hurgm. Yes. Yes. When 900 years you reach, a dick half as big you will not have.

    All in a days work with a yoda figurine rammed up your ass.

    Greased Up Yoda Doll is My Lover
    Written & composed by Greasedyoda Jackson

    He was more like a beauty queen from a star wars movie scene
    I said dont mind getting greased up, but what do you mean I am the one?
    Who will grease up on the floor in the round
    He said I am the one who will get greased up on the floor in the round

    He told me his name was Greased up Yoda, as he caused a scene
    Then every purple head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
    Who will grease up on the floor in the round

    People always told me be careful of what you do
    And dont go around breaking boys rectums
    And mother always told me be careful of who you grease up and shove
    And be careful of what you do [in the ass] ?cause the lie becomes the truth

    Greased p Yoda is my lover
    He's just a "girl" who claims that I am the one
    But the kid is my greased up Yoda and my son
    He says I am the one, but the kid is my greased up Yoda doll!

    For forty days and forty nights
    The law was on his side
    But who can stand when hez in demand
    His schemes and plans
    cause we greased up on the floor in the round
    So take my strong advice, just remember to always shove it up a greased ass twice
    (do shove twice)

    He told my baby, we where anally gyrating till 3:00
    Then he looked at me, he showed me a photo
    My anal lover cried, cause his anus w

    Spammers spam because they earn money with it.
    The laws should allow to take away the money made from a spammer and companies that use spam.

    Xmas is comming, so will the spam for micro radio controlled toy cars come. Take away the money from the companies that sell through spam. If the have only confirmed opt-in - give their money back. If they can't prove it. Take their money und buy schoolbooks.

    There is always a traceable adress. A person or company bills you. Take away the money they make with spamming.
