Text Spammer Gets Injunction, But Will
It Help? 08/30/2004 02:41 AM
Lots of folks are picking up on the story that a man accused by Verizon Wireless of sending text message spam has received a permanent injunction against sending SMS text message spam to mobile phones. However, the more important part is whether or not it matters. The guy in question seems to have disappeared. It's barely mentioned in the article, but he didn't show up at the hearing at all, and the article suggests his last known address is not valid. Basically, it sounds like the guy skipped town, or at the very least, didn't care enough to show up for a case against him. It seems unlikely he's going to let a random judge tell him to stop sending SMS spam.

Florida Wins Spammer Injunction

Florida Wins Spammer Injunction 04/13/2005 04:36 AM
Florida prosecutors have been granted an injunction against two men accused of running mass e-mailing operations, in what is the state's first victory against spam. The move will prevent Scott Filary, 25, and Donald Townsend, 34, both of Tampa, from sending deceptive e-mails. It's the first to be granted under an anti-spam law passed in the state last year.

The pair are accused of sending more than 65,000 e-mails, with misleading subjects and disguised origins, and Charlie Crist, attorney general, said links took recipients to sites engaged in fraud or illegal activities like selling pharmaceutical drugs or cigarettes online.

Anti-spam laws in Florida allow for a fine of up to $500 per e-mail sent - making the two accused liable for a fine of up to $24 million.

Alacritech argues that Microsoft's software violates two of its patents relating to scalable networking, US Patent No. 6,427,171 and US Patent No. 6,987,868, both entitled Protocol Processing Stack for use with Intelligent Network Interface Device. The injunction claims that in 1997 Alacritech invented network interface software to speed up data flows across networks. In 1998 it approached Microsoft to see whether the software giant would be interested in licensing the technology. There are fears that the injunction may delay the release of Longhorn which is scheduled to appear next year.

The latest study on spam trends appears to show that financial spam is outpacing pharmaceutical spam - though, honestly, so much of both is coming out that it's really hard to imagine that this matters at all. Meanwhile, it seems that porn spam is increasingly less interesting to spammers as the numbers have been on a noticeable decline for quite some time. No matter what, though, it appears that CAN-SPAM has done absolutely nothing to slow down the amount of spam sent.

I am now getting 2,000+ spams a day. There are 1,440 minutes in a day The rate of incoming spams is therefore getting close to the interval it takes me to check my email and dispose of a single spam: By the time I'm done checking, more spam has arrived. That is the point at which the spam droplets form a continuous stream. And that is the point at which no interval of my life will ever be spam-free again....

The current ish of Popular Science (August 2004) is on stands now, with a great piece on Charlie Stross and me as science fiction writers who are doing good work on the Singularity (alas, the piece isn't online yet, but it's easy to find in shops). I'm really happy with how it came out, but wanted to give out one tiny bit of errata for the record: the article identifies me as a co-founder of boingboing.net -- although I'm a proud co-editor of BB, the founding was done by my pal Mark Frauenfelder and his wife Carla Sinclair.

Charlie Stross, posthuman: April Fools'
from Paul Di Filippo 04/03/2005 01:24 PM
Cory Doctorow: Paul Di Filippo wrote a great April Fools' article for Locus on my pal and collaborator Charlie Stross becoming posthuman:

"Charlie was teetering on the precipice of transhumanism for the whole last year," said his friend and collaborator Cory Doctorow. "His lifestyle and cerebral/neurological capabilities had been ramped up through intensive ideation and selective smart-drug use to an exquisite pitch just short of the Singularity. When he laid his hands on that sweet, sweet hunk of hardware, it provided the critical mass of complexification necessary to tip him over fully into the Extropian ideal condition."

The resulting state-change brought total en-bobblement to an area of several cubic miles surrounding the store where Stross made his climactic purchase. It is presumed that the newly born ineffable deity once known as Stross is localized within the stasis-sphere, but authorities differ over containment theories.

You people are some of the most disgusting examples of a waste of protoplasm I’ve ever had the displeasure to hear about.

Sean Penn, you’re a traitor to the United States of America. You gave aid and comfort to the enemy. How many American lives will your little, ”fact finding trip“ to Iraq cost? You encouraged Saddam to think that we didn’t have the stomach for war.

You people protect one of the most evil men on the face of this earth and won’t lift a finger to save the life of an unborn baby.

Freedom of choice you say?
