What Happens When You Reply To ALL of Your Spam
bednarz writes "For Tracy Mooney, a married mother of three in Naperville, Ill., the decision to abandon cyber-sense and invite e-mail spam into her life for a month by participating in a McAfee experiment was a bit of a lark. The idea of the Spammed Persistently All Month (S.P.A.M.) experiment — which fittingly started on April Fool's Day — was to have 50 volunteers from around the world answer every spam message and pop-up ad they got. Mooney was game, especially since McAfee was giving a free PC to all participants. She told her story to Network World."
The Nigerian prince send her millions.
She got 1000 Valium for $4.
Her lover was more satisfied.
And she won an iPod.
And lived happily ever after. =)

myself when I was new on the internet. I didn't know at first that the unsubscribe on the bottom of the email was just a way to verify that it was a live address, so I got lots.
What I decided was that the companies that were paying for the spam must like it, so I would click on the link in the spam, find their customer service email and copy it. Then I went to google and entered "subscribe enter email". After that I spent quite a lot of hours signing these companies up for all kinds of email. I hope they liked it. When I had to put in a name I entered Spam War.
Look where all this talking got us, baby.
Because Macs are completely immune to spyware and viruses the Windows and Linux people have to worry about 24/7?
Yeah one time I found a linux virus! However I never did get it to run on my linux box...
Look, it's easy, you just go on any of the Linux support sites where you'll get lot's of helpful people telling you what a noob you are for not editing /etc/virus.conf properly and then recompiling the kernel and anyway, if you had used the right distro then you could have used apt-get or up2date to download the virus properly and...
init 11 - for when you need that edge.
Are you saying you want to put your "spam" in her "inbox"?
For those using Ubuntu and Firefox, there's also this link apt://virus
On a slightly offtopic note, she looks kinda M.I.L.F.!
Oh oh, you just doubled the number of connection requests per second for networkworld.com.
The [X] I don't use apt, you ignorant clod! option:
"This is an open-source virus. Please delete some files at random and pass me along to 10 friends. Please don't break the chain. One sorry person broke the chain and the next day found someone had hacked into their computer and installed Vista."
There's a lib_compat_virus tarball in /pub/dist over at univ-mainz.de. Go get it and untar it. ./configure it with --enable-activex and --disable-pax, but also make sure to read the fucking install.txt for other configuration options relevant to your system. (I don't want to fucking hear from you if you don't RTFM!) Compile it with gcc 2.95, and sudo install it. Then edit /etc/virus.cf and set config_allow_tainted_nonGPL_virus to 0xFE. Your virus should work then.

I love getting pre-paid business return envelopes in my mail. That way I can just send all the stuff that they send me right back to them. They pay to send it to me, and they pay to get it all back from me.
When our name is on the back of your car, we're behind you all the way!
If it's from a spammer, do us all a favour - tape it to a box containing a cinder-block.
"apt-get"? "up2date"? Those are for n00bs, too. Real users download the virus source, build it, and then infect themselves with it.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Her account now abounds

And her cock is the size of Wuhan.
Doesn't matter what spyware/crapware they put on it as long as you follow standard procedure. Wipe the bitch and install a crap free Os on it before the CPU is even warmed up.
Wait, do you mean a crap, free OS or a crap-free OS?
