Favorite food? Not Spam!

Refreshing article at Reuters explaining the details of how Ohio legislators have passed a law making life miserable for spammers. Violators could face a minimum of six months in jail as well as fines of $25,000 per violation, or $2 to $8 per violating e-mail. Their computer equipment could be confiscated, and Internet providers could sue for damages. Love it! Now, Mississippi and other states should follow this example. Actually, I want the death penalty for spammers and malware/spyware people.

Interesting item over at Geek.com about Lycos battle against spammers in Europe. Be sure and read the comments. Cybersouth agrees with Christopher about spammers being bullies. Nice precise news reporting. Good site.

For all The Lord of the Rings fans go see the clip promoting the Special Extended Edition of The Return of the King . Just click on the link and if you have downloaded the free Quicktime player the video will open automatically. Over 50 minutes of footage has been added to the original. It's kewl.

It's lunchtime and work calls. Think there's a hamburger in my immediate future since turkey has been on the menu wayyyy too long. Ahhh, the art of driving and eating.
