- LeeSoong, on 05/03/2008, -0/+1I like SPAM, the real tasty meat in a can product.
Fry up SPAM slices in a pan like sausages - goes great with eggs for breakfast.
Just add toast & juice and you're good to go! - hello2usir, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1Christ you people are idiots.
- darlyn, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1Let me refute that: worst set of comments EVER. (yes, I realize this is an equally pointless comment.)

sarcasm - inactive, on 05/02/2008, -2/+3For any system admins out there running a mail server, look into greyways for blocking spam. It asks the sender to wait and resend the email, if its a zombie computer sending the spam they almost never try to send again from the same domain/sender which are always random. This solution alone blocked about 99% of the zombie spam I was getting to the corporate mail server.

- MISking, on 05/02/2008, -1/+1I have two great filters for spam on my three corporate exchanges. Every once in a while some spam makes it through. I heard the best spam filter is the one that Gmail uses though.

- Twinnie, on 05/02/2008, -1/+0Didn't like this article, a couple of paragraphs about early spam then turns into the usual essay about how modern spam works (blah blah spambots, etc). I was at least hoping to see the first ever spam message but it just gave brief info about it.

- ucccft, on 05/02/2008, -7/+1"the world marks an anniversary" What world ? Amazing when something is American, the Brits and the Aussie call it the "the World". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Tomlinson Raymond Samuel Tomlinson (born 1941) is a programmer who implemented an email system in 1971 on the ARPANet. Email had been previously sent on other networks such as AUTODIN. It was the first system able to send mail between users on different hosts connected to the ARPAnet (previously, mail could only be sent to others who used the same computer). To achieve this, he used the @ sign to separate the user from their machine, which has been used in email addresses ever since. The first email sent by him is not preserved and had content he describes as insignificant, something like "QWERTYUIOP". This is commonly misquoted as "The first e-mail was QWERTYUIOP" At first, his email messaging system wasn't thought to be a big deal. When Tomlinson showed it to a colleague, he said "Don't tell anyone! This isn't what we're supposed to be working on." He is a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a long-time employee of Bolt, Beranek and Newman.
