Internet & Networking There are many things concerning the internet that are decidedly not amusing. The internet can be a source of viruses and other forms of malware, which affect computers worldwide. It can provide refuge for the sick and perverted, who use the depths and anonymity of the internet to distribute material that goes beyond any imagination. It can also be a hotbed for other dangerous activities like crime and terrorism. However, I think I speak for many when I say that spam is the one thing that bothers us all on a continuous basis.

Man does time fly. you think that in thirty years we could have come up with a way of neutralizing it.

I guess, with our current level of tech, it impossible without resorting to serious censorship. I know I'd rather run anti spam software than encourage email censorship so i guess it's a necessary evil at the mo.
