I HATE SPAMMERS. I can somehow tolerate murderers, rapists and terrorists. But I just can’t tolerate spammers. According to Slashdot, the first spammer was convicted under the new US CAN-SPAM act. He got 101 years for spamming plus several other charges (fraud and witness harassment). Apparently there is a bunch of bleeding-heart no-brainers out there discussing whether that [...]
