Spamfighting Since the Death of MakeLoveNotSpam?
vacuum_tuber asks: "The now-defunct Lycos anti-spamsite screen saver, MakeLoveNotSpam, was extremely well received despite the whines and hand wringing from the no-one-should-ever-actively-defend-themselves crowd. There was speculation after its demise that Open Source spam-punishing tools would emerge. Other tools such as SpamVampire, LadVampire (punishes fake bank sites), Spam Research Tool and others were mentioned with increasing frequency, but there has been no coherent followup to gauge what people are doing since the death of the Lycos screen saver. What are you doing that you think is effective in punishing spammers or their spam-site sponsors?"
Amazing how a majority of Slashdot users are against toppling a dictatorship that has severed the limbs of people or boiled people who spoke out against the regime as being the wrong thing to do but when some guy sends out a few mortgage offers or sells pharmecuticals, Slashdotters go insane with rage and fury, demanding all sorts of highly unjustifiable punishments and torture.
No. Teach mom how to harden her computer, and how to maintain it. If she can't do that, she has no business using the Internet.
People that don't maintain their computers are like people that drive uninspected, unmaintained cars on public roads -- they're a danger to everyone around them.

Are you saying that the poor, defenseless, uneducated masses of morons in the US can't defend themselves from the highly educated, professional hackers in Nigeria?
Is that really what you're saying?
Actually, when I take a minute to reflect upon your choice of president ( twice in a row, for good measure ), I am inclined to believe you.
You're right. You're all helpless fucking idiots, and being pushed around by the 3rd world. Poor, poor Americans
My mom doesn't use a computer, you insensitive clod!
