I created a hidden (duh) keylogger application which activated if the text 'root\n' or 'su\n' was entered on the keyboard, it then captured the next string (until/n) and send it through net-send to a computer which i happend to use that day. Then i started the software on a few computers in a few class-rooms, and i recieved a few root password of classmates which used putty (ssl!) to access a server. I quickly became bored and just left and when i got back the (innocent!) computer where the password where send was gone.
So the lesson they learned was: entering root passwords on public (windows) computers isn't smart.
Hmmm, internet-café's use windows *-) or are those computers nowadays secured enough with some sort of kiosk-mode?
Just create some sort of auto-reply which asks the sender to identify a generated picture and send the answer back. Then will the suspected spam message move to your inbox.
The initial version doesn't even need a generated picture, a simple email like: "Your mail is clasified as spam, could you please resend this message by replying to this message.".
Technically this will work along-side normal spam-filtering-tools, because you do not want to irritate people you frequently send mails to. So basically only auto-spam-reply's are sent to messages which are clasified as spam (or only for messages which might not be spam). Of course the system should sent some smart id with every outgoing mail (including with the auto-anti-spam-reply's) so that every genuine reply wont be clasified as spam.
Bounced auto-reply messages should of course be ignored (you should not see them).
You could also add an other way for people to prevent these irritating messages. The instructions will be displayed in the auto-spam-reply's: "Want to prevent these kind of anti-spam reply's? Then install iamnospammer software from iamnospammer.org".
And people who buy things via spam should be beaten to death.

They are probably working on it, in the mean time go to http://mattgemmell.com/archives/2005/03/16/googlex
Yes but the right page isn't shown in google, so hitting back won't do you any good.

You only get compability issues when you use advanced features in your document. Normal people do not use these features.
The position of Batman will soon be available too!
