Instead of taking the Estonia/wherever servers down, like everyone so far has suggested, use them!
While they're up and running, effectively you have locked all the herded bots down. Take over the control bots, and just do nothing with them. Change them so they don't accept any new instructions from their overlords.
Don't send the herded bots new instructions, nothing. You have effectively taken control away from the spammers/evil masterminds.
"And as long as they're going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. Theyâ(TM)ll get sort of addicted, and then weâ(TM)ll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade."
-- Gates, circa 1998
It's now 2008; Gates has had his decade. Worked out well for him, didn't it?
I've encountered a number of systems that take voice input, mainly banks. Total fail if I'm at work, sitting in a room full of computer fans. Outside, any traffic, river, plane or bird noise and it's no-go either. I hate these systems with a passion and try to avoid them where possible. I always complain to the people who decided to use these stupid input methods.
Fairly. I remember using magneto-optical disks in around 1993-1994. They were a pig, as well. Lived in their own caddies that were almost, but not quite dissimilar to standard CD caddies, so you couldn't share the drives... and the software! I was quite glad when someone stole the drive and the disks.
It has to be a bot. This same garbage gets posted to almost every Slashdot article, relevant or not. The person (I'm being generous here) who thought up the original boilerplate needs some serious help.
Not true. The implementation of the stack is poor, but does work. I fell over this one, and a little googling showed that the reason for the problem was spaces and non-alphanumeric characters in the WPA[2] password[s]. Take those out and you're good to go.
Don't you ever get bored copying and pasting this same old crap into every single slashdot post? Particularly when you just *know* that no-one is going to read it?
Give yourself a rest, and give everyone else back their bandwidth, and stop already. You have an axe to grind, maybe. But the rest of the world just isn't interested. Go get some help.

And if you replace "String Theory" with "Dark Energy Theory" in your statements above, it reads exactly the same. Remember "epicycles?"
The gaming jock is the prom queen, you insensitive clod!
Hello? People in the rest of the world use Mythtv, not just those in the 50 states.
So-called piracy only helps M$ against FOSS. See this 2006 LA Times article:

You leave my imaginary friends out of this, you insensitive clod!

The explanation that has been given in the Bible is the only one whose source is decidedly not human.
Proof that the source is not human, please?
Indeed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutineers'_Moon
Did anyone else read the name "Dr. John Parmentola" in the summary as "Dr. John Paranoia"?
Perhaps not...maybe Daddy works for Ford...

Fail. IPv6 is 128 bits.

You DO realise that riding a bike while wearing headphones almost certainly invalidates any insurance you may have?

That's the number of the lock on my luggage!
What's wrong with Military Intelligence 6?
Well, they assumed the banking system was all right till recently...
Reminds me of the Sledge Hammer ep where Sledge shoots at the guy about to jump from the ledge and scares him back off the ledge...
...Perhaps this is meant for in-the-rear commo vice while out on patrol...
Jesus! You mean this thing gets rectally inserted? Oh, wait... that would mean it would be near the soldier's brain then... good idea!
Haumea is cigar-shaped because it is rounded by gravity and stretched by rotation.
If that were so, it should be disk-shaped, not cigar-shaped.
