It could be that the spammers are using all their spam bandwidth to do the Ddos attacks.
This would explain why spam volumes have dropped.
Perhaps we could play "bandwidth, bandwidth, Who's got the bandwidth?" with the spammers to keep volumes down.
I have actually seen Unsubscribes working. I have opened and unsubscribed from every piece of mail I have recieved for about the last 10 weeks. I have seen my spam volume go down from 30/day to less than 10/day.
Web bugs (1x1 tranparent gifs) are the prefered way to tell if an address is valid.
There are actually many types of fusion reactors, many that may work at tabletop sizes.
Here are a few different types I have found:
Tokamak Reactor: Large size, Confines plasma in a toroid.
Stellarator reactor: Large size, simmilar to a Tokamak.
Laser Ignition Reactor: Fires extremly powerfull lasers at a target causing fusion.
Inertial Confinement Reactor: Small size, uses high voltage to fling protons to toward a Tungsten cage. This type of fusion rector can be build easily by anyone with a decent workshop, and acess to a hi-voltage power supply.
Table-top fiusion: there is evidence that sonoluminescent bubbles could reach temperatures and pressures where fussion can happen. (my understanding is that cold fusion was an attempt to pull protons into a Palladium electrode increasing the pressure to this sort of level)
I also read that some powered neutron sources use a fusion reaction to create the neutrons.
The tough thing about fusion is not creating fusion, but getting more out than you put in.
I found this technology while searching for the fastest processor available.
I think I read in one of the article about it that some team had achieved a speed of 360Ghz (yes 360 Giga-Hertz) in transistor using this technology.
With a chip going this fast synchronization between parts of a large chip becomes the main issue as light travels only 3/100 of an inch per clock cycle at this speed.
This just in... A house fire yesterday was found to be caused by a new type of computer security system which causes a stolen computer to burst into flames. Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah was unavailable for comment.
If you can nail down a domain that seems to profit, use the whois information and call them on the phone.
I usually dont get spam after I have complained to a person.
If the phone number is bogus you can report them at http://reports.internic.net/cgi/rpt_whois/rpt.cgi
It was even better in person, mark was sitting right behind me when he started grilling allen...funny stuff. On the whole though, the people there were the most interesting I have ever met.
They were all experts, and they were are all realy concerned that spam could ruin the internet. there were storys of people getting fed up with spam, and canceling their internet access. I think we will all see some very clever things coming down the pipe from the people that were there.
The discusions covered SMS spam and junk faxes as well. There were representatives from all over the world telling about their experiences with spam. Japan is seeing progress, though the penalties for sending spam can be as high as 2 years in prison, and a 25 million dollar fine.
The Marketers represented there made realy good arguments about the legitimacy of some email marketers. They realy did seem to be against spam, and were responsible in their practices. Email marketing is here to stay, but I think it will get a lot less annoying.

The acting is like a B movie. Very funny stuff, and ok porn quality.

Great... now we will see the slashdot headline :Anti-spammers killed out of existence
Jerk....

Of science fiction!
Vernor vinge wrote about these things in his story "Fast Times at Fairmont High"
In his story they were super small and sprinkled around to create a robust network. the only problem was cleanup when they went bad.

Yup, looks like someone else did it better.

Geez, now I realy wish I hadn't registered that name.
