SlashSpam

Got a first post on SlashDot.
Seems that zombie pc’s (systems infected with spyware, trojans, and viruses) account for almost 80% of the spam received.
And take it from me: If you get spyware, back up your data, and erase your PC, install things back, restore your data. It is not worth cleaning the system, it takes less time to start fresh. It is almost impossible to get it all off, and lately the spyware takes you to web pages to load more versions of spyware. So unless you get every single trace of it off, all at once, you will get reinfected almost immediately.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

-- John Stuart Mill
