Microsoft Sues Spammers

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the cut-it-out dept.

mclearn writes "Microsoft has filed seven more lawsuits against spammers, this time targeting those who violate the 'brown-paper wrapper' provision of the CAN-SPAM law, which sets rules for sexually oriented e-mail solicitations. Apparently these are a small part of over 120 spam-related cases Microsoft is currently litigating. With Microsoft's deep pockets, can they effectively send a resounding message to spammers?"

    rofl. Yes Definately. Maybe that post about the Air Force/Miltary taking specialized interest in Microsoft program debugization, etc is effecting all divisions in a positive manner.... Maybe they gave up on half of their hopeless products...

    Micron Technology located in Boise, ID better start treating contracted personnel better than they currently are. We are not second-class citizens.

    This will not be your only warning, but it will be your most gracious one.

    Evil cyborg Bill takes off a shoe and starts banging it on the podium, "I WILL BURY YOU!"

    At least he doesn't have nukes.

    Let's hope that Bush doesn't do this though...

    Kim Jong Il would be funny, banging his high heels on the podium :P (yeap, he wears high heels)

    You know... "and" is a joining word...

    And?

    The GP did join two sentences (er, immo, independent clauses) with the conjunction "and". He didn't put comma before, but English language allows that (and, yes, in punctuation rules of some other languages (er, Deutsch?), it is actually incorrect to put a comma before "and," in that case). Of course, English, as dumbed-down as it is, still doesn't allow run-on sentences, but I'm trying to bash you, not the GP. ;)
