Lets hope its real!!

They should have planted something, get the guy for sedition. It's just as bad as a crime as spamming.

It has gotten to the point where if I know people with young boys and girls, (girls more specifically who are more fragile emotionaly etc.) that they always say they want to ope up a hotmail account etc., and I have to tell them no I wouldn't do that cause the second it's open, there is porn, there is this there is that. Basically at any time of the day, any number of spammers are doing a dictionary spam attack on hotmail.

Sucks to be a hotmail user these days unless you have the option turned on where you only recieve mail from your contact list or address book. So unless they spoof headers it's not coming in.

British Airways had one of thier computers hijacked and sending spam a while back. www.theregister.com has articles on it.

Don't ya just love it when you get 5 of these a day from "friends"?

So I sit back and watch as they reveal everything about themselves. You gotta wonder how many sickos on the net actually partake of this and revel in the info they get so they can try and stalk people.

This whole information age is nothing like it was intended. I finished watching terminator 3 and I see the same thing, this "Pandora's Box" of the digital age. It's fuled by so many factors, and next to impossible to stop because greed is the main factor behind most SPAM out there.

I will pledge my allegiance to the hacker group who disconnects the world's networks and reprograms them with Mac OS X.

spam to me is "unsolicited commercial propositions"

Lets say we all email George W Bush with what we see as good offers!

In other words, they want to marry our money, so they can have all the benefits "untill death do us part". Like those folks who marry for money. Same thing, just easier and less guilt.

hmmm, WEEL, I wonder what it is? Is it the next generation IBM PPC 980 that will run in any 68k mac? I guess time will only tell.....unless one of you out there works for IBM and can varify this?

but then again, earlier this year
i registered a yahoo account.
i didn't give the email to no one.
and... no spam. really!
yahoo don't sell your account.
that's the good news.
but, i hate their format,
eventhough they give you more space (4 MB)

1. Log into hotmail and click on Options

2. Click on Personal Profile

3. At the bottom, you'll have options asking whether you want Mordor$oft to share your personal information with other companies. Make sure NONE of these boxes are checked.

4. Click on update

5. Now that you've got that out of the way, you'll need to go into your Junk Mail filter and make sure it's properly set up. I have mine on extreme, and I have it set to send all email from recipients not on my safe list to the junk mail folder. Everything in this folder is deleted after 7 days. You may sometimes also get perfectly good email in this fodler as well. When this happens, checkbox it, and click on This Is Not Junk Mail, and select the option that you want to do. These steps won't completely rid you of spam, but it will be less of a PITA.

there's a national do not call list in the USA...

On my uReach eMail, I rarely get 2 eMails a day... and that's whenever I get one of the Apple Developer Digests... I really need to unsign up for that..

Read that article about spam and you will see that these changes are most welcome by me!
