Gates on Spam

Posted by michael on from the on-crack,-more-likely dept.

pvt_medic writes "Microsoft is proposing a new system that would require people to pay to send e-mails. Postage would be in the form of allowing others to use your computer to make calculations, similar to the SETi@home project. There are other systems being suggested that would include monetary stamps and people could decide on accepting an e-mail based off the value of the stamp. (story has great picture of Bill Gates as well)" Gates' proposed system will be Microsoft patent-encumbered, unsurprisingly.

    Think before you speak Bill, if you sound too crazy then MSFT might start loosing money.
    Then where would SCO get their funding?

    I like how you added (way too much) after taxes. I find that funny, beause I don't pay enough taxes, and I don't know anyone else who does. Maybe your in another country? I live in New York.
