Slashdot Mirror
The Family That Spams Together Stays Together
Anonymous Coward writes "The Globe & Mail has a story about an Ontario, Canada man who is being sued, along with his father and brother, by Yahoo under the CAN-SPAM Act. The Yahoo suit claims that Eric Head, along with his father and brother, were sending out millions of spam emails per month, as well as compiling lists of email addresses to sell to other spammers. Eric's company, Gold Disk Canada Inc., gathered lists of email addresses and sold them for $29.99 for 100,000 email addresses on up to $1,599.99 for 10 million addresses."
GNAA Interviews CowboyNeal
by GNAA staff
UPDATE! UPDATE!
Since the original posting of this article there has been some doubts about authenticity of CowboyNeal. Rest assured, however, he was indeed the real CowboyNeal. We could tell by the smell coming from his pants.
On January 17 2004, select members of the GNAA interviewed CowboyNeal on IRC channel #caoine at irc.caoine.org.
We will be right back after this commercial break!
According to Google Zeitgeist, there are about 80% of Internet Explorer 6 users. The only platform supporting Internet Explorer 6 is, of course, Microsoft Windows. These statistics are consistent with the earlier presented graphs of the operating systems used to access Google, with the Windows family consistently taking the top 3 ranks. Out of remaining 20%, the split is even between MSIE 5.5, MSIE 5.0, both Windows-only browsers. Netscape 5.x (including Mozilla) counts for only a measly 5% of browsers used to access Google. As you can see from the graph, this sample was calculated starting from March 2001 until September 2003.

You Americans should be ashamed of yourselves!
Detainees at Guantanamo Bay are shackled for up to 15 hours at a time in hand and leg cuffs with metal links which cut into the skin. Their "cells" are wire cages with concrete floors and open to the elements - giving no privacy or protection from the rats, snakes and scorpions loose around the base. By contrast the camp guard dogs have wooden houses with air conditioning and green grass to exercise on. A diet of foul water and food up to 10 years out-of-date has left inmates malnourished.
But worst of all is the use of vice girls to torment the most religiously devout detainees. Prisoners who have never seen an "unveiled" woman before are forced to watch as the hookers touch their own naked bodies. One said an American girl had smeared menstrual blood across his face in an act of humiliation!
You make me sick! How dare you call yourselves the land of the free and the defenders of civilization. You make me sick! You are a bunch of depraved lunatics who deserve to drown in pig shit!
Thritteennnthh ps000tt!@@# lol
Well, lets meet the Head family... We have Eric... then his brother Dick, his father Give.... ahhhhhh!!!!
It was the back-to-back dupes that were breathtaking.
The upside is that I only need to read Slashdot every 2-3 days now, with all the duplicates we've been having lately. Saves a lot of time.
I hadn't known there were so many idiots in the world until I started using the Internet -Stanislaw Lem
This could help John Kerry. The question is, can Howard Dean contribute his contact list to Kerry's compaign? He'd like to. But federal law limits the value of such contributions. So what's the value of a big email list? Pretty low, it seems.
Cripes, I hate M$ as much as anyone else who has used linux and unix exclusively since 1995, but geezus...they get slammed for bugs, get slammed for fixing bugs...we all know the bugs are there! We don't need to hear about it 100 times a day!
They just like filler nowadays, apparently. The more posts about spam and M$ they can do, the better. Ah, the good old days when there wasn't 1000 posts a day on /., and when they weren't all whining.
Now Kerry can magically increase the value of the USD, as well?
I'll put that along with the millions of jobs he'll pull out of his hat.
I do agree with you though that GW does spend quite a bit.
