Funny how a sunny place like Florida can cause so much grief to so many people (that is: a lot of spam comes from there). Any that is getting off the subject.

DDOS'ing is not smart, even if it is to the lowest form of life (aka spammers). Mistakes do happen and it could be to you or your ISP. AND (I think this has already been thought of, so don't accuse me of planting the seed) I can just see a huge problem lurking in the back ground. Thing like this are bound to be sent to everyone in your inbox right? So little s**t is going to start an email to a look-a-like site. There you will download the same screensaver, but the code will be altered to DDOS someone else.

I read a great editorial from someone regarding emails and spam. What he said is that you are charged a fee to send an email (like a postage stamp), but unlike a similar plan by B.G., the recipient can then ok the email as legit and the send refunded. So that if you want to send out 1000 emails for v14gr4 and it costs ?1 each, you get charged ?1000. If no one ok's your email, you are out of pocket for ?1000! Now if granny send you an email, she will also be charged ?1. But you then ok the email and her ?1 gets refunded. Next time she sends to you, there is no charge untill you block it again.

If all of us use this as screensaver, and some of us run the flash file 24/7, then spammers would have higher bill.

At the same time, if I am not mistaken, someone would get a profit out of it, right? See: spammers pay more = someone earn more.

LOL!

I just worry about the legal implications.  Everyone is effectiley participating in a DOS, which IIRC is a federal offense now.  All it takes is one wrong URL, or even one legit spammer who turns the whole lot in, then everyone using it could face a court case.

Well whatever it does it seems to be working. The volume of spam in my Inbox at home has seriously dropped by about 60% in the past few days. I couldn't work out what it was and then remebered this... go Lycos! :)

There are other ways of dealing with spammers apart from this. Makes me think that the 'team' who thought of this gem were all 17 year old pimple faced geeks stoned off their asses.

I dont support this at all, and I do not support spammers. There are better ways of fighting spam.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
