So both my Ford Focus and Giant Urban Assault Vehicle get to pay the same tax, sure the UAV uses more gas, and tears up the road more, but if we both put 50 miles on the cars, then we both get taxed the same.
My Mom got a new computer. I thought about doing the lindows thing but didn't think that she/Linux was ready. She got a Dell, I sent her a lynksys firewall to put behind the cable modem. I pre configured it at my place and then droped it in the post. She had no problems getting the wires hooked up. I told her to throw away the "internet cd" that COX sent her. I did have to explain that the internet was not on that cd. Once she was on-line I talked he through a VNC install, logged on to her system, cleared out the mess of icons on the desk top and download OpenOffice, Thunderbird and Firebird. Set it all up and now she is totally happy, not scared of the computer they way she is at work, what with all the virus warnings those IT guys send out. She is now at the point where she really enjoys the computer, understands what the Internet is, what the web is and what e-mail is. She may be ready to make the linux jump next and all the apps she knows and links will be there. By doing all of this up front, she never saw/missed IE or Outlook or Windows Media Player.

Given that the AOL users are a subset of Microsoft users, then Microsoft has the single largest group of ignorant users in the world or atleat an equal number of ignorant users as AOL.

I think the solution is to make e-mail more expensive. A simple way to do this is to have the remote host work a difficult problem and respond with the correct response. A difficult problem could take the form of a brute force attack against a secret that has been encrypted using a small key. For example when the remote host connects to my machine I would respond with something like
220: sdiofuowqihr8o23nisdfhoqwienroqwerinqweo
Then I would wait for something like SCRT this was the secret
My server would know the secret it sent over, the remote machine would require a reasonable amount of resources to decrypt the secret, making such transactions undesirable to spammers. I could even have a "white list" of sorts where I use a shorter key for IP address I trust and a longer key for IP addresses that are new to me.
Just my $.02

Thank goodness because my 40GB hard drive couldn't spare the sapce.

Umm - you forgot to include your work e-mail and program code in your post.

So it must be true.

I don't think it is in use by anyone.
