Spamming Travel Firm Sues Anti-Spammer
Spamming Travel Firm Sues Anti-Spammer
03/17/2005 03:26 AMHere's yet another case of a company accused of spamming getting
pretty upset when they're called on it. Someone asked a travel
company, named cruise.com, to stop sending him spam. They continued
to send him spam. He threatened to sue them under Oklahoma spam laws,
and featured them on his website. They turned around and
sued him for $4 million for defamation and trademark
infringement. They might have trouble on both those claims. First,
the guy seems to have the spams pretty well documented, including his
repeated attempts to opt-out. It's tough to win a defamation claim
when the facts alleged are true. Second, the trademark infringement
concerns the use of their logo on his website about them -- but, as
has been explained numerous times, trademark law is only to protect
against confusion, not to give full rights to the trademark. It's
quite unlikely that anyone going to this guy's website about how the
company was spamming him would confuse the site as one officially
sanctioned by the spamming company.

Big Time Bogus Pill Spammer Stopped
07/31/2004 02:09 AMThe FTC is happily announcing the fact that a federal court has
shut down one of the big-time Florida pill spammers,
Creaghan A. Harry. He's listed in Spamhaus' register of known
spammers (though, as Harry Creaghan - which Spamhaus says is his
r
eal name even if he insists on reversing it). A federal judged
has barred him from sending any more spam, and frozen his assets
(which just so happen to be in Latvia). Of course, it remains to be
seen if this actually does anything to slow down spam. Still, it's a
start.

The intern strikes back
The intern strikes back
06/02/2004 03:23 PM
The intern accused of having an affair with Kerry
does some investigative reporting of her own.
And so my education had taken me pretty much as far as it could. I
started out as an ambitious young woman inspired by politics and the
media. I’ve ended up disenchanted with both. If I had been an
ambitious young man, this story would not have happened. I’m never
going to know exactly what happened, but that matters less to me now.
I lost a good friend and learned a few lessons. I am struck by the
pitiful state of political reporting, which is dominated by the unholy
alliance of opposition research and its latest tool, the Internet.
Even the Wall Street Journal’s Website ran Drudge’s story, with
only a brief disclaimer that his stories weren’t always
accurate.
It was important for me to set the record straight. I don’t mean to
dredge up old news by writing this, and I’m not trying to create any
now, though I’m not unaware of the irony that I am adding to the ink
spilled on this story. I don’t intend to discuss it again in public
either. But for me, this painful experience will be hard to forget. It
may be only a minor footnote to the campaign, but it has changed my
life completely. Google Strikes Back

Is Time Travel Is Possible?
Is Time Travel Is Possible?
03/15/2003 04:00 PMThere was that
guy who
was supposedly going to have 3rd August 2002 tatooed on his forearm
instructing him to come back in time to the Empire State Building on
that date should he ever gain access to time travel in his lifetime.
Whatever.
What about putting a line in your will and
testament to the effect that you will legally force your children to
pledge that they will come back in time to meet you should they gain
access to time travel in their lifetimes, and they in turn must too
must force their children to make the same pledge and so on all the
way down your entire line of descendants. Surely by making that pledge
today you
should be able to make time travel happen. If it is
at all possible.
Wow, wait a minute......someone who looks
a little like me dressed in an outfit made out of what looks like
silver foil type fabric just appeared in my room. Wait...what?....you
mean you're my
great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grea
t grandson and you've come back to show me all about time travel? Wow!
I just had a quick trip forwards in time to August this year and I
blogged it!
Cool.
Intel strikes back with Nocona
Intel strikes back with Nocona
08/02/2004 03:54 PMInfatuated with Itanium, Intel has long resisted the obvious: creating
a 64-bit chip that simply extends the x86 architecture on which the
company built its fortune. Instead, Intel has ceded that ground to
AMD, whose 64-bit, x86-compatible Opteron has steadily eaten into the
market shares of both Itanium and the 32-bit Xeon throughout the past
year. For many, Itanium has been too expensive and too much of a
departure. And Xeon has lacked the 64-bit headroom provided by
Opteron.
The game changed in late June when Intel introduced its newest Xeon
processor, code-named Nocona. Intel unveiled the most recent arrival
in its storied Xeon processor line with little fanfare, but in fact,
it’s a major departure given that Intel has actually adapted the
x86-64 instruction set that AMD developed for the Opteron. Intel’s new
architecture, the EM64T (Extended Memory 64 Technology), brings a Xeon
chip into direct competition with the Opteron for the first time.

Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back
04/03/2005 09:53 PMI know it's kind of pointless to review some of the most re/viewed
movies in history, but I'm working my way through the original Star Wars trilogy on DVD and I haven't seen
them in awhile, so I'm putting down some thoughts anyway.
Something that struck me while watching Empire is that every time I
see a Star Wars film, I catch something I missed the previous 50
times. I generally chalk this up to my not paying close enough
attention or forgetting that I actually caught it the last time
around**. But I also think, begrudgingly, that Lucas is a little
smarter than I give him credit for and the first three movies are more
complex than they seem.
The novel thing this time around for me occurred during Luke and
Vader's first meeting in Cloud City. I never noticed that Vader isn't
trying to turn Luke to the Dark Side to join him and the Emperor. He
wants Luke to help him overthrow the Emperor and they'll rule as
father and son. And then that sets up all sorts of weird shifting
alliances and intrigue between the three of them...the Emperor is
trying to play Vader and Luke off of each other, Vader is trying to
keep his true goal a secret from the Emperor and might have to kill
Luke to do so, and Luke's trying to fend off both of them and keep his
own secrets (Yoda, his sister). I mean, it's not The Godfather, but
it's not bad.
** This happens to me all the time, especially with shows like Law
& Order. I can't remember a single episode from start to finish,
which means I can watch them over and over again and always be
surprised about what happens at the end.

Responding to Spammers -- The Internet
Strikes Back
11/05/2003 10:55 AMOne of the things that I live my life according to is the question:
"What would happen if everybody did this?". This is one of the
reasons why I would never spam.. If everybody did that, we would end
up with, well, the situation we've got with spam. Today, I got so
fed up with the spam I've been receiving (I'm up to about 300 spams a
day now), that I picked two random spams, went to their web sites and
typed in random data into their forms. One of those sites was even
kind enough to respond with a toll free number that I could use if I
was overly eager to talk to them ( 1-866-561-9216 -- inaccessible from
Canada). Then I asked myself my recurring question "What if
everybody did this?". I liked the answer. We've been going about
it all wrong. We need to start responding to spam.

Spammer, Anti-Spammer Involved In
Lawsuit Will Hold Public Debate
Spammer, Anti-Spammer Involved In
Lawsuit Will Hold Public Debate
05/20/2004 11:41 PMJulian Haight, the founder of anti-spam service SpamCop, and Scott
Richter, the founder of spamming service OptInRealBig, are currently
in the middle of a fairly nasty
legal
battle over whether or not SpamCop can block OptIn's spam. Still,
the two have
agreed to appear together in public and debate the topic.
Both of their lawyers say that the debate will avoid the issue of the
lawsuit, but as the article points out, that seems unlikely. The
thing is, in listening to what both sides have said over the years,
you already know what they're going to say in this debate - and
they're talking at cross purposes. The spammers focus on their right
to make money, while everyone else talks about their right to be left
alone. The problem with the spammers' position is that they
don't have the right to make money. They have the right to
try to make money, but if it involves pissing everyone off, and
everyone decides to create and use filters to make email bearable
again - then that's their right too.
