I did this years ago. By planting bogus email addresses from my mail domain on the web and feeding these addresses directly to a statistical spam filter I would get instantly updated on the changes in spam templates. Because the spammers were feeding the filter themselves I get a very low FP-ratio and extremely tight spam blocking.
I'm still using fvwm and have been doing it for 10+ years. Over the years I've tried switching to gnome or KDE several times but found them too be too slow and lacking features and ended up back in fvwm again. I even tried gnome + sawfish for a while but the constant lisp hacking got the best of me. Fvwm has for a long time and still handle multiple monitors perfectly well and I'm still very happy with it.
Manually compromising servers and installing a tool that causes all those servers to rendezvous with or receive commands from a central control point to execute instructions would make them a botnet.
The key question would be: do the compromised servers also run a program that periodically polls a control station for commands, or does the script kiddie manually command individual compromised servers?
I actually encountered this a few years ago, a Red Hat box had been carelessly placed on the internet with a poor dba username password combo. The attacker had not gained root access. But he did manage to install zombie software on the computer in/var/tmp, which consisted of a small web-server serving malicious code and a custom ssl-irc client configured to connect to the botnet owners irc server.
Curious, I took a copy of the software he had installed before I wiped the server. I then proceeded to connect to his irc server using the credentials found in the zombie software. I ended up in an irc channel with the actual owner of the botnet sitting there. Because I kept my servers original irc-name he started prodding me with dcc-commands to find out the status of his returning zombie. After a while I responded and told him he had been discovered, we had a brief chat before he banned me from the irc-server. Seemed like a script kiddie, he used "LOL" in every sentence and lots of numbers, the net seemed to be run manually with some 30 "clients" in it. I gave his client IP to his ISP in Romania together with the logs, doubt anything came out of it though.
My company has some servers located on Malta, we were down for about 8 hours before they could re-route the traffic. Ironically, we have better routing through Europe now than before the break.
The DHCP and BOOTP protocols both require DHCP and BOOTP clients to set the broadcast bit in the flags field of the BOOTP message header. Unfortunately, some DHCP and BOOTP clients do not do this, and therefore may not receive responses from the DHCP server. The DHCP server can be made to always broadcast its responses to clients by setting this flag to 'on' for the relevant scope; relevant scopes would be inside a conditional statement, as a parameter for a class, or as a parameter for a host declaration. To avoid creating excess broadcast traffic on your network, we recommend that you restrict the use of this option to as few clients as possible. For example, the Microsoft DHCP client is known not to have this problem, as are the OpenTransport and ISC DHCP clients.

IMHO the FPS genre hasn't come far since Half-Live in other areas than graphics. After seeing the first sign of intelligence in my opponents with that title I was hoping to see more title with something else but the standard event driven, scripted stories. But nothing has happened! I want to see clever aliens and monsters - cooperating, sneaking up on you, chasing you, responding to your actions. These games just get repetetive too fast nowadays.
Most users will never settle for only alphanumerics/hyphens, and it's usually the user who has the filename problems. Especially where I am, where every user is wielding a 8-bit character map and lots of imagination. I still remember the horror days when I had to fight a loosing battle involving a Unix file server, sharing the same tree to MacOS and Win95 users with 8 bit filenames. Although things have gotten better with OSX/XP there's still room for improvement.
I have just had the reverse experience - management locked the network admin department in, most of us felt pretty bad about it. It makes our work a bit more difficult with everything from letting visitors in to getting a cup of coffee (yes, our single coffee machine stayed with the rest of the company of course), having to deal with key cards and punching in pass codes every time. I've already locked myself out a couple of times.

I thought it was pike.

How is the bank assuming google has the power to figure out the accidental recipient's real name and address, without going to court themselves?

If you subtract the storage medium?

They're right, we only need one distro..... Microsoft Linux
wait!

Expecting to see robots running around telling us to buy penis enlargments?
Why don't they buy MySQL AB?
Since most of the female characters in game are actually male players, 'gay' marriage is more common than you think...

I'd be happy if they'd let us out again!
