  1. To win 1TB by erick99 · · Score: 5, Funny

    You are allowed 500MB attachments so I assume you could upload 200 or so of them sequentially until you have filled up 100GB and then you win the 1TB mailbox. And then.... Profit?

    I can't even imagine how much time you'd have to spend finding unique porn mailing lists to get enough spam to fill one of these babies up. You'd see so much T&A that sex would be just... boring....

    Amateur.

    With 100 Gb, they can hardcode the "You are using 0% of your mailbox" message.

  5. Too Easy by Nova+Express · · Score: 5, Funny
    This is too easy to win, assuming you have broadband.

    Step 1: Rip all three Star Wars and the extended editions of The Lord of the Rings Movies (yeah yeah, the third isn't out yet) to your HD.

    Step 2: Mail copies to 25 of your friends with GMail accounts as attachments.

    Step 3: Have your friends change each of the file names and mail them back.

    Bingo! Instant excession of 100 GB.

    Alternately, you could just post your e-mail address here and say something like "You wussy, panty-wasted Linux hackers couldn't spam-bomb my account even if you wanted to! Your hacking skills are pathetic and lame! Besides, everyone knows that REAL MEN use Windows!"

    I figured that's good for getting mailed 500 full distros within an hour. That should do the trick. ;-)

    ... their mail server is behind a 2400 baud modem.

    Yes, but fortunately (or unfortunately?) penises aren't growing at the rate that mailboxes are. Size is good up to a point, but a 1Tb penis would make it hard to walk. It would have to be on a dedicated server, so to speak.

    Clearly, the solution is 1TB of email explaining how to make our penises grow fast enough to keep up.
