[jeb1138]

This is hilarious! The King of Spam gets super-spammed snail-mail fashion! First read this:

And maybe this slashdot article about it all too:

I was readbng about this today on my lunch break at work. This guy thinks he's going to sue an organization that publishes his mailing address on a website? His address is public record. Just go to the county records office and lookup who lives in the county. And, well, we all know that businesses trade customer mailing lists. So, some group accelerated the process a little on one person who happens to be the King of spam. What goes around comes around, twice as hard and twice as fast. He made his own bed, now he can lay in it. We reap what we sow.

We reap what we sow.

...and he's reaping a whole lotta junk. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

It is good to know that there are people out there working for our best interests, but the internet and all the crap that comes with it are a very sad reflection on us as a species. Well, i'm off to redeem my newly arrived "Free Whore Coupon"... yeah, this is exactly the reason I needed a supercomputer!

Did you read the article about the new software the this guy is going to buy from two coders somewhere in Europe?
What they claim it will do is pop up an ad on your screen whenever he sends it out, no matter where (or if ) you are surfing, what protection (firewalls) you have installed, or even whether you are on a PC or a Mac. All it requires is that you are connected to the Internet.
I don't know a thing about hacking, but swear that if he does that to me, I will learn, and I will take him out.
