If a server has been cracked and the content is not authorized, then doesn't that qualify as theft of service?
You are right though. It would not be fair to show "interest" in servers that have been cracked, though you may want to bring it to the attention of the server's owner.
A majority of spam usually includes links to a specific URL. What would happen if say, 100,000 people desided to show their "interest" in the site all at once?
I'm not suggesting that people be like spammers, who have no problem launching DDOS attacks against anti-spam sites, but instead I am suggesting that people coordinate their interest in the spammers site to show their appreciation.
There could even be a program much like SETI@Home, (no-spam@home?) that could help interested parties utilize their computers during off hours to access spammers sites in a coordinated manner.
Small as in only a dozen or so nukes being tossed over the boarder between the two as opposed to the several thousand that the US and Russia can toss at each other. Could still kick up a lot of dust and cause a small nuclear winter. I think during the last sabre rattling between India and Pakastan, someone estimated the total loss of life would be in around 20-50 million which considering the population over there is quite small. Of course I don't advocate nukes as a form of population control.
