A golfer would never consider a cool catalogue with the latest golf toys spam.
I certainly would consider that spam if it was sent to me without having signed up for it. And it was 50K. And HTML/MIME mail. And sent several times. And had a fake return address, different ones each time. And relayed through *.cn or *.kr. And had random garbage appended to the subject to (try to) make it slip through filters.
Exactly what I was thinking. Instead I just give them bogus information in all my Hotmail accounts complete, and completely wrong. I was born on 1970-01-01 (Unix epoch zero), and my address puts me somewhere in the middle of the Charles River in Boston.
All the quotation symbols are denoted with " entities now, so whatever was wrong, I am guessing it has been fixed.
Microsoft Word will attempt to use entities with decimal values 147 and 148 to denote the curly quotes, but it forgets to include the semicolon (it will output “ instead of “). Microsofts browsers naturally can handle this mistake; but I would not be surprised if Mozilla can also detect it and render properly. Even if the 147/148 entities are written with the semicolons, it still may of course fail in some browsers 147/148 are Windows-specific codes for the curly quotes, in ISO-8859-1, ISO-10646 (Unicode), and other standard encodings, 147 and 148 are control sequences; the curly quotes are 8220 and 8221.
Looks like a subdomain of the site Com.com, which is C|net. I didnt know ZDnet was part of C|net, either. ZDnet.Com.com itself, however, redirects to www.ZDnet.com. What a nice tangled web of domains.
Write a procmail filter that looks for filename="blahblahblah.doc" in the headers or body (this would usually be in a MIME subheader, hence the body of the message-as-a-whole), and pass it through a script that sends back that exact reply.
Letterwise, e is the most common. But keywise, I would say that something like space, slash, or dot would be the most common. And tab if you spend time using a shell with autocomplete like bash or zsh. And dont forget modifiers like control, alt, shift, and command (Macintosh) would be very common also they dont produce anything printable, but they still are keys that get pressed.

Well, of course the Americans didnt go to the moon! I mean, would you really go to the moon if you knew there were already Nazi moonbases up there!? I read it on the Intarweb too, so it must be true.
Larger pics are available here. The largest is a 1951x2366-pixel JPEG. You'll have to crop some text off of the pic yourself to use it as a desktop, it appears.
That thing is used in some logic textbooks as the NOT symbol, and AppleScript (Macintosh scripting language) uses it at the end of a line to signal that the code continues on the next line (like how a \ is used at the end of a line in shell scripts):
set d to (display dialog "What the hell is this?"
with buttons { "OK", "Cancel" })
set x to button returned of d
In Unicode, it is U+00AC, and is called the not sign and an angled dash in the documentation [PDF].
Why did you mention UK keyboards; is that thing some kind of British symbol that I am unaware of? Or did you mean to type the pound sign and my browser is displaying it wrong? (I see a sideways L-like thing, FYI.)
Yeah, and a whois on onflow.com which he was trying to link to these guys turns up a company located in California with a real address (not a shady PO Box), a real name, and at least one legitimate-sounding email address:

Well, it actually labels it as Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Linux 2.4.17 i686). This allows me to both slip through the idiotic browser-testing pages, and proclaim I use Linux. This is, incidentally, what a lot of Linux browsers also do. MS copied Netscapes Mozilla/x.y tagging. So several Linux browsers have now copied Microsoft.
I think thats some kind of bug. The env.http_x_forwarded_for appears to be some kind of Perl object for the HTTP X-Forwarded-For header, which is a header that a typical proxy sends containing your real IP address. In other words, it looks like they are trying to stop double-votes based on your real IP, not the proxys, but it is not working correctly.
Hows that again? What do you mean by a high-numbered port? Macintosh by default seems to use local ports in the 50000+ range. Right now Im SSHed into a box of mine from my Macintosh, 53102 22. How would they differentiate this from a NAT?
As part of tuition my university subscribes to Lexis-Nexus, and many other similar resources. Yeah, Im sure as hell going to buy the privilege to use this Yahoo! search engine.
Ah huh, because everyone knows people who pirate software are also drug abusers and murderers, right? Theyre all mom and pop places Im sure it would be so much better if they were all owned by AOL or Starbucks, right?

Create some hotmail accounts with the same idea in mind:

Neither is that TrustE link. Oh, wait, thats just my new proxy config :)

The two companies could surely still be connected but Onflow at least appears much more above-board than vx2.cc.
Yeah, and in the process help all their spamming friends by providing 100 million fresh email addresses for absolutely free.

Thats why I love my JunkBuster proxy. All outgoing browser connections get labelled as MSIE/5.5, and I even add a bogus From line for the hell of it.

Already getting slow-downs here. Maybe they should try running their webserver with their free-energy machine.
Theres the GFDL, a GPL variant for documentation, that might be useful.
