What I meant to add is that I take abuse complaints at the small ISP where I work. Occasionally one of our customers will spam, and often the first reports we get will be from Spamcop. I can reply to the reports, but the email address is always something like "8723742347y77@spamcop.net". Unless the sender has left in a.sig w/their email address, I'll never know it.
Hm...not sure if just submitting stuff to spamcop (you send the spam, they email back a link, you click on the link and hit submit) but if you are, I don't think it's likely you'll get spam from that.
Also, have a look at the MRTG spam graph I maintain. It keeps track of the numbers of messages we catch using procmail. As I write this, the average over the last couple days is 333/hour. In the time I've been keeping this graph, I figure something like 1.25 million pieces of spam have been caught.
Legitimate question: what the heck is a channel? I keep reading different sales magazines, and just like the linked article they use the term "sales channel" without explanation. I think I can grok it from context, but I'd be grateful if someone could fill me in here...
Absolutely. Someone's already put a link to Amazon for the book, so go check it out. It's amazing how damned interesting it is to read it, to see how things like task switching and process creation are actually done. (Keep in mind I came into Unix as a hobby, so I haven't taken any of this in CS courses.)
Someone was asking up above what the point was. Aside from learning from reading yet more code, this is as close as we can get to original Unix. If I was given the chance to check out the original manuscript for, say, the Revelation of St. John (I'm atheist, but religion fascinates me), I'd jump at the chance to see what changes have been made between the original and what we've got now. You'd learn an awful lot about how things have changed -- not just the book itself but everything else. I think that would apply with Unix just as much.
Couple things: buckrogers, I downloaded the source for the PDP-11 version a year or so ago. The original tarball has been lost in the mists of hd upgrades, but I do remember not being able to correlate Lions' code sections with the source I downloaded. Has your experience been any different?
And another thing: I'm sure I went picked up the code -- just the code -- for the PDP-11 version, way back when. Now, though, I can't seem to find it on their site. I thought I checked through the directories pretty thoroughly -- can anyone tell me where it is, or provide a link to their own copy?
Now, of course, I've got to check out the PDP-11 simulator. (I'm sure I heard about one that was written in Java, but when I did a search on Google it seemed like every damn CS student in the world has built one as a class project...someone else'll have to provide the link.)

Heh...Fun gedankenexperiment every now and then is to pretend that an actor is always playing the same character, and diff. movies are just about different times in their lives. Ignore the name changes, and it's fun to think about. Example: John Cusack in Better Off Dead, then Say Anything..., then High Fidelity; cf. Ione Skye in Say Anything, then The Size of Watermelons. (Sorry no IMDB links; too lazy right now.)

We have better beer with a higher percentage of alcohol. The senators who decide this will either be happy not to be bribed yet again with a case of Bud Lite (tm), or will be unaccustomed to being quite so drunk during a vote.
Furthermore, as a Canadian taxpayer, I will naturally be asked to help decide who gets to be an astronaut. Moderators, you know what to do.

And how exactly does that get defined? Has anyone got a link to that '91 set of predictions?

Congratulations, guys. Now just tell me what colour you want the Beowulf cluster to be.
This and the other answers were most helpful. Thanks, everyone.

Okay, I'm done now.

Honestly, just imagine 80,000 attempts at starting "Silver Bells" that get no further than the first three notes. His office mates are gonna kill him.
