"Buffalo Spammer" Gets 3.5 to 7 Years

jfruhlinger writes "Howard Carmak, aka the 'Buffalo spammer,' has been sentenced to jail time for his spamming activities. Interestingly, the conviction was not for spamming per se, but rather stealing someone's identity, which he then used to launch his spam messages."

    I never post normally but you guys got to know what happened so it dont happen to you guys. So you can learn from my bad luck.

    I'm a semi-regular slashdot reader, and I get mod points quite a lot. Monday was a pretty normal day for me in the IT department where I've worked for 2 years now. I'd finished my work, and am about to head to lunch when I cruise by Slashdot to see what stuff that matters there is, and I see I have mod points, right?

    So I set my threshold to -1, and go into a newish article, and start modding. I see a couple of stuff that ain't funny and mod that. I see a couple of funny gags about clippy so I mod them up. My boss comes in half way through, so I stop what I'm doing and turn round and talk to him. After a few moments, I can see he's looking at the screen.

    Now I hadn't really paid attention to where it was pointing, and it turns out it was on one of those GNAA posts. My boss asks me straight out, what the hells that, or something. I try to explain but he's not satisfied, he reads the word nigger and gay, and he's very dubious of me. He bumps it up to his superior. The next day, I'm sitting in a confrence room speaking to 3 senior boss's trying to explain how come I was viewing a race hate crime website in my work time. I say to them it was my lunchh break which they say is ok then i try to explain Slashdot's like the wild west, at a low level you get all sorts of crazy shit. I'm sweating like mad at this point.

    To cut the long short, by today Thursday, I'm out of a fucking job. My fucking boss thinks I was posting or reading that shit, and now I've got to find something else in this shitty job market. What the fuck am I going to put on my resume about my last job? I get no fucking refrence at all for 2 years work. My fucking life has been totally ruined by these crapflooding bastards.

    FUCK YOU TACO YOU AIN'T DONE NOTHING TO PROTECT PWEOPLE LIKE ME FROM THEIR HATE. cause I'm a regular reader, and HELP OUT YOUR FUCKING SITE I LOOSE MY JOB?? FUCK YOU. I AINT NEVER COMING BACK HERE

    If your reading this, you gnaa fucks, FUCK OFF BACK TO KURO5HIT. If your laughing to yourselfs remember that it is NOT A COMPUTER GAME. I am in the shit now because of you, and I hope in your dead hearts you will suffer for what you have done to me. I am going to find out who you are and cut you down to size...I already started so you guys are fucking dead, here me DEAD i know loads of shit and i have the skills to take you down and i will use them all WITHOUT MERCY.

    Obligatory Bob Marley lyrics
    Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta:
    There was a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America,
    Stolen from Africa, brought to America,
    Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.

    I mean it, when I analyze the stench -
    To me it makes a lot of sense:
    How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier,
    And he was taken from Africa, brought to America,
    Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.

    Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta -
    Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America.

    If you know your history,
    Then you would know where you coming from,
    Then you wouldn't have to ask me,
    Who the 'eck do I think I am.

    I'm just a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America,
    Stolen from Africa, brought to America,
    Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
    Said he was a Buffalo Soldier win the war for America.

    Dreadie, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
    Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
    Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
    Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
    Buffalo Soldier troddin' through the land, wo-ho-ooh!
    Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand,
    Troddin' through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea.

    Said he was a Buffalo Soldier win the war for America;
    Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta,
    Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
    Driven from the mainland to the heart of the Caribbean.

    Singing, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
    Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
    Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
    Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

    Troddin' through San Juan in the arms of America;
    Troddin' through Jamaica, a Buffalo Soldier# -
    Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival:
    Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta.

    Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
