Most of the time they are either clueless or just negligent. They pay some advertiser to do some "targeted email marketing" or other buzzwords-of-the-week and assume they are getting normal advertising. Instead, they get spam in their name.
Nothing. Firewall the shit out of yourself, dropping instead of rejecting. Including ICMP.
It sucks, but not doing that can either result in you seeing what you see now, or your being an unwitting member of a reflected DDoS squad.
Explanation:
Attacker sends a spoofed ICMP Echo (or whatever) with the target's IP address as the sender. Your machine dutifully (and correctly) would reply, along with N+1 others, bombarding the victim.
1. Chinese/Japanese/Korean (a good spread of all three) telling me who knows what. 2. People of various Grammar School Failures trying to weasel my battle.net password (that hasn't been used in a year anyways).
Group two there is usually using the stupid anchor-with-a-different-URL bullshit (that people still fucking fall for) and either fake "your account was compromized!" warnings, or fake beta invitations.
The (relatively small compared to above) remainder is this bullshit "your wife photos" with a zip containing drive-by-equipped HTML or other retarded attack payloads.
Because back in the day, it didn't tell you that, and his signature looks like a legitimate slashdot function did. Someone would click on it, thinking that a pile of comments below your viewing threshold were behind it, only to be shown the main page.
It was a joke. Look at his username...
I'm guessing it's a stab at the whole crowd being a bunch of trolls:P
Oh really? Is that just pessimism or do you have any actual fact to back that up?
I'd like to know, because if some executive pissant tried that with/my/ blood/sweat/tears, I've got an appointment with a court for attempted homicide.
Seriously. You'd have a voice loop on there for like 15 seconds before you get pissed of and remove it.
Witness:

Yea, that would get old fast.
You need something that doesn't have a definite loop point, unless the beating is appropriate (think The Jetsons)

The issue is that when people honk, they lay on it.
There's nothing wrong with one or two sharp beeps.... I think this could be solved by having a one-shot horn "button" that when pressed, will execute said sharp beep.
Well, interestingly that under 30 km/h, my fan and/or AC compressor is louder then the engine too. Those would still exist on electric cars too, you know.

Most of my spam is of two varieties:
1. Chinese/Japanese/Korean (a good spread of all three) telling me who knows what.
2. People of various Grammar School Failures trying to weasel my battle.net password (that hasn't been used in a year anyways).
Group two there is usually using the stupid anchor-with-a-different-URL bullshit (that people still fucking fall for) and either fake "your account was compromized!" warnings, or fake beta invitations.

No fear, as long as it's Windows. It will lock up or otherwise asplode within 3 minutes anyways :P
Spammers should be handled by Seals or other agents that can get in, do it, and get out without involving that pesky "jurisdiction."
Hell, I mean if we are going to be doing that, we might as well be doing it for a cause that benefits humanity at large!
Keep your Ubuntu and Mac to yourself. I use neither, and I still don't use Windows.
No good. That would just free up bandwidth for the attack spammers (outlook exploiters, "your wife photos" etc)

So, the real solution is to stop using content they have police over. Do you really need to dub in $RANDOM-TOP40-CRAP into your silly video?
Oh really? Is that just pessimism or do you have any actual fact to back that up?

Agreed.
Music is art, not a product. That you might make money from it is a bonus, but shouldn't be the goal.
We already know exactly where it is.
You're welcome to go on over. I doubt the staff would be very appreciative, however.
Yea because hearing the same 5 word phrase OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER wouldn't get old quickly.
I can't find that damn sound anywhere. The video on the page you linked was removed.
Anyone got a source?
Seriously. You'd have a voice loop on there for like 15 seconds before you get pissed of and remove it.

gives you a genuine sound by using MP3 Technology
Why do I want to stab someone now?

You know what a dead-man's switch is, right? The joke he was replying to was that it was better to kill the employee than to fire.
The response was to build a dead-man's switch.
Hard to go to prison after a 9mm to the brainstem...
Oh my, yes!
There is such a thing.
HOOOOOOOOONK vs Beep Beep

We repress it so much... it finds all kinds of interesting ways to sneak back in.

Wow. That guy in the Raider's hat is a fucking idiot. His friend isn't much better.
