Okay, I'm going to ask one last time and then I'll stop wasting bandwidth. Thanks to those who have already answered.
I'm doing a little art project that involves getting as much spam as I can to a spam hole on yahoomail. I'm looking to get as much 419 nigerian scams, mlm scams, penis enlargement, chain-letters, investments... mails as possible. I've tried to d/l some of the latest spams received by the spam archive (http://www.spamarchive.org/) and answering it to hook the spammers, but I don't seem to get any, and half of those reply-to addresses are deprecated already. The junk mail filter in my dummy yahoomail account is turned off, but still nothing comes through.
So, if some of you get a lot of spam, could you please respond to a few in my yahoomail's account name to start the syphon ? the address is:
internetnoise@yahoo.com
If you do help me, please don't sign-me up for free newsletters, or horoscopes or things like that : these aren't true spam/scams and I'd like to receive only those.
I'm not trolling by the way, and I know this is OT, but I figured posting something on/. was the best way to jump-start that spam flood I need.
BTW : the above is really my account. If you send a mail to it, I'll respond immediately.

"The 6-year-old company has been in court since 1998, suing Bertelsmann division CDNow for violating patents filed in the late 1980s."
6 year old little Johny has been in the director's office since noon, complaining that 8 year old little Bob stole his lunchbox last week.
The sad thing about this, and the other kajillion petty court cases between multimediocre companies trying to position themselves as yet another toll booth between artists and listeners, is that, in the end, it's the consumer who ends up paying the attorney bills.
That means you probably could get 25000 keys in one hour if distributed.net was setup to do that. Even DES is harder to crack. That should tell you something about the extent of Microsoft's understanding of security issues if they can't even protect their own bread and butter correctly.

"Absolute statements like those above are almost always false."
When was the last time you saw a not-quite-Microsoft-friendly document on a Microsoft site ? where can I see even a heavily refuted opinion that's openly anti-Microsoft, with the original text quoted and not the Microsoft-interpreted version of the original opinion ?
I know several people who worked for Microsoft who all tell me the same thing about the Microsoft company culture : adhere unconditionally to the Microsoft way of be booted eventually. What's more, this fact is common knowledge.
Microsoft did not get to be the monopoly they are by spreading information honestly or leaving their employees the choice to do so. This too is a well-known fact.
I would be impressed to see a worm silently infect your machine and try to infect your contacts. But this one asks you a *click a url* ?? Anybody who doesn't dismiss a message with a URL or an attachment from somebody they don't know, whether it's in an instant message or an email, deserves to be infected (and also should have their computers taken away from them and a flyer explaining them why they shouldn't talk to strangers in the street given to them instead).

"First, I want to make one thing clear: In my view, governments and public bodies should not push "gratis," "free," "open" or "proprietary" solutions over any of the other options. That could severely damage the incentives for software developers and the national market for IT at large."
You haven't quite understood the open-source and free-software business proposition, have you ? What's more, in my views, when the government buys Microsoft software, it makes them a little richer and that threatens my job in a small non-Microsoft company that much more. How about a little of that ?
"The government should always choose the best computer program and IT solution at any given period of time."
You forget half of the equation : a government is more than a company, and they have to take national interests into account, which is usually more important than the technical solution. For non-US governments, that often means one of the most important requirements is to not run closed-source software from a US monopoly.
Their network cams use multipart jpegs over HTTP.
You can simply save off the growing jpeg file on a disk, or you can also set the camera to automatically upload a incrementally-numbered file onto an FTP server every n seconds, or you can write a small script that'll pull the file from HTTP every n seconds...
What's more, you can also use third-party free software such as VNCCam that will allow you to customize and view your camera's display over VNC.
That's what I use for an indoors security solution : I have one of these cameras bolted on a ceiling (it comes with the hardware) of a room that has expensive equipment. For indoor use, these little cameras work great, they're reliable, they only cost between $500 and $1000, and they're a no-brainer to get going. However, if you plan on outdoors security, an Axis camera is definitely not what you want.
MGM and Danjaq, the British company that controls the Bond film license, have obtained a cease-and-desist order against New Line Cinema that prohibits New Line from calling the latest installment of Mike Myers' shagadelic spy series Austin Powers in Goldmember.

- Austin Powers: Dr Yes!!!
- Austin Powers: From Russia with Lovers
