smegging spammers

scary story on La Reg

I have a sneaking feeling that the spammer's days may be numbered... hatred for them is growing exponentially, matching pace with the lengths the spammers themselves are going to.

Not going to be long before there's some serious changes in law, some major court battles etc. Or someone's just going to assassinate a spammer

Whatever happened to that case in America where the creator of a major spam email prog got all upset because campaigners spammed him like mad with every bit of normal post / telephone etc spam they could ---- funniest thing I'd heard in ages that was

Also, the fax spam company that was being sued for One Trillion Dollars... that disappeared.

lol...one trillion!

Is that more than a gazillion?

 

[leggy]

one trillion is 10 to the power of 12

Unless you're british where it is 10 to the power of 18

/edit

Gazillion is an idefinitely large number... so in theory 1 gazillion > 1 trillion

 

[Testin da Cable]

anything over 1000 == lots

Spaming should be a jailable offence, do not pass go, do not collect any money, go straight to jail. Then maybe theyll stop.

Hello everybody, Captain Ubern00ber checking in.

"you have to be famous or at least important to get assasinated dummy!"

I have to agree with the above, If I recall correctly, killing spammers comes under "vermin control"

And if you want a giggle at the expense of a Nigerian 419 fraudster, read how I stitched one up like a kipper at
