Jeez, SCO is so pathetic. This morning when I was reading about their troubles, I thought to myself that it was time they started whining on again about how much they were victims, and now this happens.
I seriously believe that they are doing this themselves. What we really need to make this attack believable is a statement from their ISP and/or law enforcement people. I, for one, believe that they are screwing their systems themselves so that they can bitch about how everybody hates them for exercising their constitutional rights.
its going to be tough with all the world wide spam
But is the rule of thumb that most spam comes from outside the US really correct? If you look at ROKSO's list of the most prolific spammers (responsible for 90% of spam), 131 of them are based in the US. Counts are:
United States 132 Canada 9 Australia 5 Argentina 3 Russia 3 Costa Rica 2 China 1 Taiwan 1 United Kingdom 1 Germany 1 Hong Kong 1 India 1 Philippines 1 Poland 1
I'd be interested to know if, in the interest of efficiency, or for other reasons, employees of Microsoft are allowed to use Google, rather than MSN at work. Or, is there another search mechanism/algorithm for the MSN knowledge corpus in use within Redmond that provides more Google-like results.
I can't believe that a good geek/techie can do a lot of his work without a decent search engine, and would Micorosoft be so stupid as to hobble their employees with an inferior search engine?
Anyone out there from the belly of the beast care to comment?
I think a more important difference is that it costs them money to call you. So, basically, a Do Not Call list saves them money because they do not need to call people who hate telemarketing.
I've spoken to the husband of a friend who works at a telemarketing place, and actually telemarketers hate the DNC list, since it allows people who have problems with saying no and confrontational situations - vulnerable people who are one of the telemarketers' main targets - to say no anonymously, with no conflict.
If (and only if) such people didn't contribute large numbers of $$$ to the telemarketers' profits, then the latter would love the DNC list.

Admittedly, if you look at his photograph you'll see he appears to have changed his hairstyle, and it doesn't mention a middle name of Underdunk, but I have my suspicions...
Good luck: in this report you can see how John Ashcroft has been trying to undermine the FOIA. Choice quotes, one from the reporter:
" In a memo that slipped beneath the political radar, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft vigorously urged federal agencies to resist most Freedom of Information Act requests made by American citizens."
and a quote from Ashcroft's memo, which memo is the subject of the article:
"When you carefully consider FOIA requests and decide to withhold records, in whole or in part, you can be assured that the Department of Justice will defend your decisions unless they lack a sound legal basis or present an unwarranted risk of adverse impact on the ability of other agencies to protect other important records."

They really are pathetic whiny babies...
and it becomes 100% useless if you make it trigger tons of false positives.
That's right: for every picture with a real hidden message, you have 10,000 with the following text:

I'm looking forward to to car that randomly turns left when you turn the steering wheel to the right.
Come to WA state: it appears that most drivers here are already using them, if their apparent road-sense is anything to go by...
... but Bob Terwilleger was re-elected as Snohomish County Auditor in WA last night.
Admittedly, if you look at his photograph you'll see he appears to have changed his hairstyle, and it doesn't mention a middle name of Underdunk, but I have my suspicions...
Or why not look to an open-source solution available under the GPLd that has already been used in parliamentary elections in Australia.
Maybe we can get Ashcroft to investigate himself.
