Hey, I'm all for AMD processors (die intel, die..:) - but what's with the name?? Athlon.. a friend mentioned to me this sounds like 'celeron', not quite the image of my chip that i'd want people to have..
other than that, the prices look damn good. might have to get rid of this K6-2 and get one of these;)
it is illegal to intercept the frequencies, but dealing with those listening on the internet is kind of foggy.. are people who stream the shoutcast broadcast in any way responsible for their actions? I'd assume so, but anything similar hasn't been defined in laws anywhere (to my knowledge)
this has been going on for a few days now, actually.. a lot of people were catching onto it last night, and its interesting to see the story on./ this morning..
if you have decent spam/open relay filters like me, the email gets dropped at the smtp server - check out obtuse's smtpd and also the MAPS and ORBS RBL's (which i filter with - no more open relay spammers). even if a server isn't in the database (yet), some PO'd sysop will probably add it to one/both right away, making the spammer lose a significant chunk of his audience.
don't even think about doing that.. getting 'even' by doing something illegal is not only stupid, but could possibly land your ass in jail (which is not a very nice place, last time i remember it anyway). mail the owner of the relay used, if they refuse to respond, mail the uplink. if they don't respond, mail their uplink.. most (if not all) uplink isps have policies which will force their customers to deal with spammers or lose their connectivity. there's always someone to complain to.
