Try Mailinator. It's perfect for those disposable email addresses. There is no link to you other than an IP in an apache log file. (Most disposable email address providers require an email address to forward your mail to.)
Actually, your numbers are a bit off from the original prisoner's dilemma. As usual, Wikipedia has a good article on the matter. However, variations on the game are always fun thought experiments.
The problem is that the creditors don't eat it, the merchants eat the loss. The credit card companies have no financial incentive to solve the problem.
Basically, you'd have better security if you set up a daemon listening on a known port that waited for you to send a password, with no overloading of the port concept in TCP. If you're worried about replay attacks, use the same encryption/whatever on your password as you would on the port numbers.
What benefits does port knocking give over a simple password on a known port?
Of course, the solution to this is to block port 25 entirely, or filter port 25 in some more creative way. ie. a 1 second cumulative delay for each mail recipient in the last ten minutes from this account/IP/port.
I believe that the client is allowed to display web pages any way they want to. And revenue streams are not your concern, because you're not running the business. You can decide to allow advertising, whether through inaction, or through specific action for each specific site, and thus provide support to that specific site.
This is off topic, so don't mod me up, but anyway, I suspect it's a bit of both, because I've run other programs under GTK2, and they've had different issues.
I have 2 monitors, monitor 2 is larger than monitor 1. With GAIM, conversations tend to appear in the area above monitor 1, left of monitor 2; the top left corner of the full virtual desktop created by the two monitors. This area just happens to not actually be displayed on any monitor, so I have issues.
With Crossfire, it opens the windows on monitor 1 only. Heaven help me if I want it to start on the second monitor. However, it does open properly positioned on the monitor, and appear in the same dead space as new GAIM conversations. With Crossfire, I suspect the issue is some wierd code that handles the positioning of the window in some buggy window managers under the *nices.
Actually, the proper way to do it is to call 911. Call during normal business hours, and tell them that you're testing your 911 service. Don't do it too frequently, and don't do it when there is high call volume, and everything will be fine. Just use common sense.
Forum message from some people who actually did test 911 over VoIP.
People have been testing 911 long before VoIP became popular. The usual reason was that they programmed one of the buttons on their phone to speed dial 911, and want to make sure it works.
And I seem to recall seeing it floating around long before then. If anyone knows of the original, please respond. Also, if the original troll could please fix the numbering? 4 isn't supposed to repeat again after 5 and before 7, I'd greatly appreciate it.

The next obvious step is adding a new CA with the malware. So, https://www.bankofamerica.com would work just fine, with NO evidence whatsoever of any wrongdoing.
Of course, if you're going through all that trouble, just install a keylogger and be done with it.
Crossfire has been around for years. It is not a clone. The graphics aren't great, but like I said, it's been around for years. The gameplay is awesome. If you like nethack and the older Ultimas, you'll probably like this gauntlet-like MMORPG.
That's the thing about finite state machines. If they're ever in the same state, they'll produce the same results. Hence any software PRNG can and will repeat a given series, given enough time. The trick is to have enough bits of state that it doesn't enter the same state. If you have 32 bits of state, you'll get at most 2^32 unique results before repeating. If you have 1024 bits of state, you'll get at most 2^1024 unique results before repeating. Of course, it could be much less with a poor PRNG.

Dual monitors is absolutely wonderful. I'd say it doubles my work efficiency. I have two video cards, an AGP card and a PCI card, which was the way to do things before these newfangled video cards that support two monitors. (There were ways before that, but this isn't a history lesson.) Anyway, I'd suggest plugging a spare PCI video card in your box, and connecting a spare monitor to see how it feels. Once you're in love with it, spring for the fancy dual head card. Of course this assumes that you have a lot of old hardware.
To answer your questions, dual monitors is definitely worth it. I don't know if the dual headed cards are worth the extra cash over a 2 card system, but it probably is. On my system, the resolutions of the two monitors are completely independent. I run one monitor at 1280x1024 and the other at 1600x1200. (17" LCD & 23" CRT) The taskbar only appears on one monitor by default, but Ultramon will give you that second taskbar. Ultramon also allows you to put a different wallpaper on each monitor, and is overall a very nice program.
Anyway, running two monitors is a completely different experience than running one larger monitor.

If preventing spamming is a vigilante activity, then are you suggesting nothing be done about spam, except by law enforcement?
And this one actually is free! It's open source under the GPL: Crossfire
Admittedly, the graphics are a bit dated looking, but you're more interested in gameplay anyway, right? And this game is bulging with gameplay.

Does anyone take port knocking seriously?

Perhaps it was a security measure. An air gap, if you will. (Not to be confused with the "air gap firewall" marketing BS.)

Ah, thank you! I was a bit surprised that Ultramon didn't include that feature, so I'm downloading Hydravision right now.

If the code was published, it can't be patented.

Assuming it's SBC DSL that has been blocking your port 25, (They've started doing this recently), http://help.sbcglobal.net/article.php?item=4640 will let you request unblockage.
It seems Verizon doesn't block port 25 yet, (but I may have mis-googled), They do have other issues though.

Better yet, then divide it up into sections, and only display one section at a time!
Many cards have a user configurable MAC address.
Get a second monitor. I've got AO running on one monitor, where I just killed a Borer Scorpion, as I was typing this.
I do tend to die rather more often this way, but, hey, I'm getting a lot more wasting time done at once.
