I think the estimated impact energy from mn4 would be 1900 mt of TNT, which would be about 1.9 billion tons of tnt, meanwhile the energy unleashed by this earthquake is estimated at 32 billion tons of tnt.
But you can not really compare asteroids and earthquakes, one is spread out in huge area, while the other is a pinpoint hit..
What if, every time we send email, we would actually send 2?
One (with full message) directly to the person we are sending it to and another one (lets call this, confirmation message) to a international organization that would forward the message to the mailbox of the person the message is supposed to go to.
The email we would send to the person, would contain all the information email ordinarily contains, but the confirmation email, going through the confirmation center, would only have a brief info about where email originated (ip address) etc..
So if I sent a message to you, you would first get my whole unconfirmed email message and then a short while after, a confirmation from the confirmation center (if I had not been marked as a spam mailer).. Once confirmed, you would see that you have one confirmed email in your inbox..
This way, once a spam mailer would start to operate, they would light up like a bright light on the ip map of this not yet founded international organization.. And thusly, their email rights could be taken away.. (their email would no longer be confirmed)
I admit it would be a lot of trouble, but then again, spam wastes a lot of bandwith we could use better and getting rid of it, would actually end up paying for the system..
There would be confirmation centers all around the world, working under either local or international mandate (un?).. Basically they would be server farms able to see all the email traffic (that would use the system), heck, there could be a wall sized screen on which you could immediatly see when some ip starts sending out spam messages (it would light up like a star)..
I am not saying it would be simple.. I imagine a lot of spammers would start denial of service attack against the ip addresses of confirmation centers..

I found the 32billion ton quote from here: http://www.virtuelvis.com/archives/488.html Your info is probably more right on.

They can change the spin on OReilly factor..

Just my 2 cents..
