I somewhat agree, though it'd be harder to whip the masses into a frenzy over it.
I guess TV would be first, gotta smear it by saying TV radio waves cause cancer, then present a few people who are adversely effected and then the case begins...
"Everybody loves Raymond right? This guy doesn't, Raymond gave him cancer!!"
Isn't that a bit much? He won't be serving all that time, of course, but it's a lot of time for spamming.
Math time!!!
Lets assume each spam he sent out was worth a second of someone else's time on average,... wether it meant setting up a spamwall that it slammed into or someone actually took a few minutes to read, comprehend, and send a thoughtful reply with a credit card number attached.
10 million emails a day now becomes 10 million seconds of life sucked out of the general population... 115 days a day.
9 years is about 3287 days, or over 28 days of spamming.
If he was spamming for a year, then he is getting a light sentence, even accounting for effortless spamblocking and seasoned spam deleting email users. And mind you he won't be totally consumed without sleep, blocking filtering and deleting spam while he is doing his time. Assuming he doesn't win an appeal or something...
I only block when they get old, are annoyingly placed, or especially when they flash about.
So yeah, I block pretty much everything, and thats the fault of advertisers and lack of decent space in most sites to reasonably invade without getting me POed. (sticking adverts in the story block of a site is so absolutely unacceptable IMO)
I think "generating infinity" on a level of detail basis may be a way to go. Start with a 4x4 grid, then turn those into subgrids that average to the original color, and so forth however far you care to go.
Humans don't have a corresponding infinity to stare at CG noise with. Best to break the problem down and incrementally beat it.
I'll install flash, when the flashblock plugin is like all stable and stuff, and preferably when an OSS flash client becomes sanely mature.
I'd like to see some of the inane crap that requires flash, it is hardly worth all the ads it enables though, and I'm still a bit sore about how one of their players liked to screw with my unstable windows webcam (routinely sending my box into fits of blue-screen-ed-ness).
Unless of course he doesn't consider unborn to be people, in which case he has much bigger problems, since it requires only one more step in logic to support killing babies and small children for convenience.
Babies are a very close step, small children have gained significant out-of-womb experience (and include a pretty large age range, at which killing adults would be a small step from).
I suppose I'd better take me and my gas-can far away from this debate though...
It'd be more realistic to ignore stealth and punch hard/fast.
A britney spears "mp3" that: 1) fools a user into thinking she is worth hearing 2) hopes the browser vill directly feed the tune to XMMS or something 3) exploits a media player buffer overflow, executing itsself 4) hops through a local root exploit, fetches rootkit, kills your goldfish and swaps the contents of your fridge/freezer
GNU systems are readily attacked, there are enough holes. I assume the grass is greener on the Windows side of the fence, as far as ease of attack goes.

Easier and more sensical to just throw in more pixel pipelines... Which is what they are doing...
Thunderbird is utterly ineffective against the foreign junk I keep getting.
NASA is evaluating the machine as a builder on Moon using moondust- Who said moondust is useless?
Sorry if this is redundant, pain to look over all previous comments.
My answer to the question is:
"Everyone who will end up dying because moondust walls fail. Meteorites?"

But, really... nine years?

Is it art?
If its TOS then an LCARS styled Python editor wouldn't make much sense.
I'd rather it eat all of Phlox's stupid little creatures.
No more fricking clones, no more transplanting bits about, heck, eat the doc too, might get some decent eps while they suffer thorugh that...
Send them a Knoppix disc then.
I'd rather petrified hot grits pour Natalie Portman down my pants. ...in Soviet Russia, Mars is found on water.
In Soviet Russia joke kills you!
Can I get a beowulf pack of those murderous Russian jokes?
50M is a joke to them, regardless of the direction it goes.
Hundreds of daily spams are a less jokable matter.
I want to know what happened to fairtunes...
I don't think it matters who I want in office or why.
I expect Bush to get a third term, regardless of legalities.
By using more advanced words one can convey more information in a clearer way, assuming people have that vocabulary.
It has little to do with complexity and more to do with "look, I finally passed the fifth grade!!"

Is this a hardware or software problem?
Sounds like rushed software.
I'd rather have a Kashier(IO) Slave give me the money.
Are you going to tell me that Microsoft's incompetence hasn't been intentional based on their generally malicious nature?
Wow, video clip playback in text editors.
Can I get some of what they're smoking?

What makes you think viruses that attach themselves to executables (is this oldschool now?) won't automatically take advantage of this?
