Hormel Back on The Spam Offensive
Anonymous Howard writes "After an xapparent setback in litigation, Hormel
Foods is again pursuing actions against entities and organizations over the 'spam'
trademark. According to the web site of DSPAM, an open-source
statistical anti-spam filter, "Anti-spam software manufacturers may be in for a
rude awakening. Hormel Foods Corporation and Hormel Foods LLC have recently
filed for extensions to oppose or to cancel many new and existing spam-related
trademarks and are even filing a few technology trademarks of their own. The
DSPAM project, a popular open source and freely available spam filtering
application, has already received two such notices of opposition from the
trademark trial and appeal board. The complete history can be viewed
here. This came about a year after the software's user community scrounged
up the fee to file for a trademark...""
The third word in that person's writeup begins with a floating letter 'x'. Get rid of it. Also, in my Tor story, change the eff.tor.org link to tor.eff.org. Jeez, do your job.
That "x" error is so obvious that timothy must've been blinded by Roland's semen in his eyes not to see it.
(Okay, now that's a troll!)
WTF
First Spam is made from beef, not pork.
And it is high quality meat.
Third Spam has played nice with all the spam stuff, and they've been generous about their trademark. They've been great to the community
Give them a break. Either use a different word, or pay hormel to use the word. Simple.
on newsweak? eye gas that's possible?
however, it's not as though most of US really do not know what's going on?
beware the illusionary smoke&mirrors.con
all is not lost/forgotten.
no need to fret (unless you're associated/joined at the hype with, unprecedented evile), it's all just a part of the creators' wwwildly popular, newclear powered, planet/population rescue initiative/mandate.
or is it ground hog day, again? many of US are obviously not interested in how we appear (which is whoreabull) from the other side of the 'lens', or even from across the oceans.
vote with (what's left in) yOUR wallet. help bring an end to unprecedented evile's manifestation through yOUR owned felonious corepirate nazi life0cidal glowbull warmongering execrable.
we still haven't read (here) about the 2/3'rds of you kids who are investigating/pursuing a spiritual/conscience/concious re-awakening, in amongst the 'stuff that matters'? another big surprise?
some of US should consider ourselves very fortunate to be among those scheduled to survive after the big flash/implementation of the creators' wwwildly popular planet/population rescue initiative/mandate.
it's right in the manual, 'world without end', etc....
as we all ?know?, change is inevitable, & denying/ignoring gravity, logic, morality, etc..., is only possible, on a temporary basis.
concern about the course of events that will occur should the corepirate nazi life0cidal execrable fail to be intervened upon is in order.
'do not be dismayed' (also from the manual). however, it's ok/recommended, to not attempt to live under/accept, fauxking nazi felon greed/fear/ego based pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking hypenosys.
for each of the creators' innocents harmed, there is a debt that must/will be repaid by you/us, as the perpetrators/minions of unprecedented evile, will not be available.
consult with/trust in yOUR creators. providing more than enough of everything for everyone (without any distracting/spiritdead personal gain motives), whilst badtolling unprecedented evile, using an unlimited supply of newclear power, since/until forever. see you there?
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
Yes, but Hormel wants to hang that horse out to dry; hung like a horse, if you will. Some people thinks that's radical, to which Hormel responds with Hormel's horse radish. To get the news out, they'll race to distribute the news of their new product across the globe faster than the pony express, in morse code fashion. Hormel wants to trot out their old label and brand this communication stallion, using their old hag of a label, SPAM. So you see, eveyone has to cease and desist using SPAM to refer to blind mass mailing since it's Hormel's term for blind mass mailing and they had it first. They'll be using horse-face Kerry to make their rights into law. Yippie-kay-aye.
