Like a mouse and keyboard the interface is going to be horizontal but it has some visual feedback. What's to stop there being some kinda display icon that you can drag photos, pictures and videos onto to show up on your traditional vertical display.
Yes some people do have a nervous reaction to stress/tragedy. This nervous reaction can be humour. However this is normally manifested orally, much like screaming when one hurts ones self. I doubt there have ever been any cases of people having a nervous reaction where they log onto slahdot and post a comment.
To start with, I think this idea *seems* brilliant at the moment, but like all other systems it will need a few million people to start poking it and trying to break it to prove that it cannot be broken.
What I am concerned about is the extra traffic that all of this is going to produce. As I understand it-
A Spammer sends a large number of unstamped mail. Some of the recipients acccept the mail and it goes straight into their inbox, other send a request back asking for proof of work.
Can you require this proof of work from senders who are not using Camram? If not, then what will happen to requests for proof of work that a sender cannot perform?
If proof of work can be performed by anyone, what is stop a spammer from bombarding users using Camram with hundreds of thousands of requests for proof of work, effectivley diluting the system and significantly increasing the amount of network traffic on the internet as a whole?
If a legimate proof of work request is sent and then acknowledged, than does this not increase the amount of traffic required for one Email to thrice what it is already? While not a significant problem, combined with other systems being implemented on the internet which are less than efficient and with the number of 'high volume' users of the internet increasing. Could this eventually lead to a very messy, inefficient, inelegant and generally debilitated network?
Working in tech support, we had a customer with the surname 'Draper' who was trying to sign up to MSN. They kept on getting rejected and the rejection message was very ambiguous. It took us quite a while for somone to figure out that it was because she had the word 'rape' in her name. Then trying to explain it to the customer was a whole other story.

Are we supposed to take this article seriously? Randy Virgin? Either his parents didn't like him, or this is some kinda spoof!
