Woah, woah, woah... You already have a tin foil hat with my name on it, but you don't even know me? Gah, so it would seem my suspicions are correct and I DO in fact have reason to be paranoid. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to work on the world's largest foil and duct tape tent for my living room.
Of course, no matter how much they spend, we'll probably always be seeing viagra spam in our hotmail boxes. Perhaps in addition to this set of lawsuits (which benefit everybody, don't get me wrong), they should throw in a campaign to work on giving the Hotmail spam filters an overhaul. It might help the community a great deal if Microsoft were to push some of their development over to spam filtering, as well as integrating some of the better email authentication systems into Hotmail, Outlook and the like.
Are there any published studies about how much spam could be reduced if Microsoft could place more effective anti-spam features into the OS itself
Don't get me wrong, I think this is a great step forward, but I think (supposing spammers aren't a little more intimidated) that we might see a better reduction in spam if better precautions were to be taken. Sorry if I've missed any big features mixed in with Windows that might help with this, I don't pay much attention to the patching that goes in as far as email is concerned.
Anybody else see the potential humor in hacking one of these? "Did I tell you about my day, CareBot?" "Yes, granny, ten million times, and if you tell me that God foresaken story about your children one more time I'll choke you in your sleep with my stuffing..." Of course, all fun and games end when the spammers get beowulf clusters of these things and begin trying to sell viagra to the elderly.

Yup, they have Volkswagon-sized chunks of aluminum waiting on the ground, prepared for launch at the slightest sign of artificial intelligence of the comet nature.
You can, yes, but don't you think it would increase your chances of ever getting a date if you could just pull a small device out of your pocket instead of whipping out the laptop? No? Me either...
Unless, of course, you find a girl in a bar where you're checking for WiFi access who happens to be amused by LEDs and shiny objects.
Also of note, you can superheat pure deionized water, since the only reason (in most cases) that water boils at all is because of impurities in the water itself. I believe they tested this on Myth Busters, superheating pure water in a microwave and then dropping in a spoon for an instant boiling water explosion.
Wait, you had to put it in a locked room? Afraid of the contamination of your other machines if they were to accidentally open the doors and be suddenly exposed to thousands of contagious virii?

And that is why I'm not on Jeapordy... I got that one wrong and had to google to see what "rake" really meant. Nuts. Yarrr... *pages Dr. Freud*
Oh, the possibilities... I want to hear what he says when they tell him he got his name wrong when asked.
Wow, that was pretty vivid and descriptive... True story, perhaps?

Looks like a coralized link of a 409 error...
