Anti-Scammers Become Storm Botnet Victims
capnkr writes "It looks like the efforts of the anti-scammers at sites like 419eater, Scamwarners, Artists Against 419, and possibly others have become the target of the Storm botnet.
Spamnation has a post about it, and as of this writing none of the above listed sites are responding. Spamnation reports that CastleCops and other anti-spam forums are being DDoSed as well. Sounds like a massive, concerted effort against the folks who are fighting the good fight.
Although I hate it for the owners and admins of the above sites, I think it shows without a doubt that their efforts to 'get back' at the scammers are working."
Week 5: Mommy, now i've just started to develop a brain and only now does conciousness have a probability greater than zero of occurring. Mommy, how the fuck was i having that internal monologue during the first few days of my life? Oh wait i wasn't as i was just non-sentient sack of chemicals.
Want 'script' that would click all links on page and then down load those pages, and put them in a nice, neat stack for me to scroll through at my leisure. I'd like it to put all the pics in a separate stack, and blown each one up to the max resolution. I'd like it to also, once finished with the links and down loads from the first page, to start clicking and down loading the links from the first batch of links from the first page, and so on. I think it would need a fairly robust 'back out of this dead end' feature as well as stopping troublesome down loads, so as to continue with doing a reasonable job down loading and filing most of the data. Hasn't someone already done this? I might want it to work well with google. It would hit the first 20, then the next 20, etc.
I can hear that doctor again.
Really. What with? No hearing system at that stage. Barely present nervous system and certainly nothing large enough to call a brain at the other end capable of interpreting the signals.
Learn some basic science, creationism-boy.
