You're right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars *next* year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I'll have to close this place in... 60 years.
Actually, I think you will find a number of church officials requiering that those in their employ install such software. Couldn't hurt. I want to whack something with a sword, and set something on fire. Does that make me a bad person?
They would be able to find those themselves in the wad of stuff I visit.
Too easy...
Reminds me of what happened to a friend of mine

He calls up our University's tech services to report his internet connection sucked. It fixed itself within a few hours. The next day, he gets a call saying that his connection should work now, and that he had visited some "interesting" sites and that the network is for "academic use only", but that they had monitored his activity only because he had complained.
I hope he goes for a real-world case study -- the end to end transfer of a given porn movie. Definetely something your manager can read and relate to, plus it gives you an easy springboard onto such topics as average throughput, burst transmissions, etc:)
What if you got together a list of known spammer domains (many exist already), and ISPs were to automatically redirect or disable their DNS entries for those domains? What if they did this before people got the email? Then the spammer is wasting his time, because the domain won't be there by the time Grandma gets his ad for penis englargement. And if that happens often enough, combined with the serious consequences that legislation can bring (jailtime!), then how long will we have spammers?
If the ISPs were to, say, redirect their DNS entry for a known spamming domain to a different one (say google), then that really solves the problem, doesn't it?
From the spammer's perspective, if he has to worry about huge fines and/or jail time every time he sends out spam, and if only 1% of the emails are getting through, and after 10 minutes his connection goes dead, how long is he going to be a spammer?
Think of spammers like an infection. How does your body deal with it? It attacks the infections in a bunch of different ways. Why can't we do the same with spam? Rather than working hard for the magic bullet, why not use some combination of: Bayesian filtering, artificial bandwidth scarcity, blacklisting, aggressive collection of fines, targeting of domains that are advertised, etc. If you were to do all of these together, I'd imagine spam would not be a pleasant buisness to be in...

I think that this article answers the greatest moral question of our age, are we raising a generation of porn slackers?
Don't say that... the children don't know any different
Well played. You're just missing the part with the wirey grey-haired scientist who says how it will never work

On a cold winter night, there's nothing that tastes better than a nice, juicy spammer. Tastes like chicken, only a little gamier
