Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail
Talaria writes "The Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy is reporting that two new laws in Utah and Michigan are going into effect next week, creating 'do not email' registries for children's email addresses. According to ISIPP, 'Email marketers who send unpermitted messages to email addresses or domains on the child protection registries in Michigan and Utah face stiff penalties including prison and fines.'" (Note that ISIPP has a vested interest in publicizing these laws, since they offer a service intended to establish that senders are in fact within the law.)
Sounds like a good way to avoid being SPAMMED...

You send Mormon missionaires overseas to change the culture. Either China changes its email culture or the one-wife, one-child policy goes out the window. Either way, you will have fewer people in Utah writing crazy laws. :P
Why are there only 12 stripes in it? The flag has 13. Slashdot needs to fix this. It's very disrespectful to the flag and the people who died for it.
Nah, it's just a tribute to the wealth of accurate information available on Slashdot.
Help me take back Slashdot. When did 'News for Nerds' become 'FUD and Conspiracy Theories for Extremist Nutjobs'?
I've even heard some people go so far as to say that Utah is resonsible for a lot of the decay in the United States today.
I think that's Washington D.C. you're referring to.
I think it goes up for a vote among the rest of his wives.
Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I was.
Utah is a prosperous state with a highly educated and industrious populous. Anything bad that you are hearing is generated by Left-Wingers who are threatened by the Right-wing slant of the state.
Basically they have all the good and bad of every state in the union; in varying degrees. They have a lot of rural areas which drag then down a bit in the statistics.

I wonder if we could get 1) the Utah kid crowd interested in some Linux distros and organize them on a scale sufficient to attract the attention of SCO, which would want to spa^H^H^H email them about their 699$ registration fee...
2) ???
3) Jailarity!
You insensitive clod...

In return we just need to spend some of it on food and some fun army stuff.
If you me help reply please. The poor little unicorns are dying. To deposit the money in you parents account and make them very happy, I need you to buy some stuff and leave in wardrobe at place I tell you later. you can buy with credit cards. We give you gillions of dollars as soon as we get the stuff.
Please help! You want to make parent happy and be good child, yes. you don't want to be bad child? Pleas reply and I tell you what you must buy. All this ok, i promise, cross my hert!

A new worm is spreading via email, with the sole purpose of mailing porn ads to unknown recipients in Utah. RedHat was one of the affected companies. One of RedHat's managers was quoted saying "All I did was opening an email from a Microsoft representative, I don't understand what's this all about!"
More details soon.
I remember how easy it was to get the DNC list from donotcall.gov for five different area codes, for free (if you lied a couple times about your tax information or something like that).
I got a copy of all the area codes for free without lying at all. I am a seller of products who calls only consumers with whom I have an established business relationship or from whom I have obtained the express written agreement to call. So I'm an "exempt organization", and therefore I can access the entire do-not-call list for free, and I have done so.

Seriously, would you be worried about a nuclear weapon with "Made in China" printed on it?
" Forget China, what happens if the spammer is in South Dakota?"

Oh, that's easy. Teey'll just shut off the ISDN line to South Dakota. Problem will be solved in 10 minutes.
>> No, not really. But the public will think they are doing something and go back to watching Survivor or whatever until their next wave of "government must do X about Y" feelings comes over them.
You got it. Passing legislation beats actually having to pay attention to what your kids are doing. (pretend for a moment the legislation will actually work...)

Well, that's certainly a better way of implementing it, but still, you shouldn't have to pay money to send someone an email. I guess if you frame it that way it's not unconstitutional, but it would violate the federal moratorium on internet taxation.
That's the thing I'm not atheist. To me atheisim suffers from the same problem religion does, the unexplained. For example do you believe in spirits/ghosts? I do, having seen an indian american ghost as a small child (quite frightening).
Zoroastrianism all the way, baby!

No, they've still got the dialup that Frank Jameson's kid set up, over at the library.

If you like snow skiing, hiking, mountain biking, camping, fishing, rock climbing, or any number of other outdoor activities, Utah is a great place to live.
You forgot hunting. Great hunting here too. Why just about every kid over 12 has a rifle.
And allayou outta-staters thinkin' 'bout comin' here just might want ta think 'bout that. We got enuf people here and don' need no more.
Oh, and all the rest of that stuff he mentioned is overrated. And the bit about liquor is wrong, too -- if ya come here, ya better be plannin' ta dry out.
Get the picture?

"I just wish the spammers had a "not an idiot" list, so they could stop wasting their resources sending the stuff to me."
That would be wonderful, if it weren't for the fact that many idiots would get confused and put themselves on the list.
Exam 4/C again. Maybe I'll do better this time.
