Lycos Anti-Spam Screensaver Brings Down Spam Sites
ChairmanMeow writes "According to BBC News, the screensaver released by Lycos Europe that targets spam websites has been a bit too successful at targeting spam sites, bringing down two sites, with a third responding intermittently, and raising concerns that the screensaver amounts to a DDoS attack against spam sites. Of course, spammers deserve to be punished, but will DDoS attacks against spam websites help to curb the problem of spam?" While the screensaver allegedly throttles back when a site slows, it would seem it's being a bit overzealous.
shut the fsckers down, all of 'em. if they can do it to us, we can do it to them. let 'em go back to selling their "italian rolexes" on the streets.
if this is supposed to be a new economy, how come they still want my old fashioned money?
So is sending an arsonist after a murderer too. It's still a crime, and makes you no better than the asshole you're going after.
Oh, go hug a tree! You bleeding liberals are responsible for most of the problems now facing us. Parents and teachers afraid to discipline kids, total asshats rewarded for going to court to blame the world for their misfortunes. Shitheal lawyers making wads of cash helping the asshats. Dying companies preying on healthy companies, crying "no fair" at competition.
Survival of the fittest. Darwinism at work here. The net is evolving to overcome a disease that's been left unchecked for far too long. Scumbags making money pushing porn at 10 year old kids. Maggots sending my 80 year old grandmother viagra, cialis and get poor fast scams. 100 years ago these fuckheads would have been beaten to death by an angry mob. Now they make millions a year as good men have their hands tied.
Fuck them. Let their servers burn and their wallets shrivel. Let's see the punks make some money fast some other way.
Code, Hardware, stuff like that.
