Nail-Tinted Glasses

Thinking outside the box

Go read Mark Pilgrim before you join the spam wars.

Point the first: ok, we've got an immovable object. What we need is an irresistable force. And, as Mark points out, the resource cost of the war is exorbinant - we need a spare irresistable force. The SETI approach might be an interesting one to try, but I doubt that it is viscious enough. Is there any way we can sick the Scientologists on the spammers? - I really think the Baby Cooper Dollar Bill solution is the most likely to be effective.

Point the second: why on earth are the spammers going after the Internet, when most of the consumer eyeballs are watching television?
