To start the day, here is the best piece of news I have read for a while. "Spammer gets hammered with $25m damages judgment". Its about time. Now they just have to get some money out of him, which may prove to be as difficult as a spammer getting money out of me!
Jason from DataFast sent this in. "I received an email this morning from "Microsoft Internet Public Assistance" with subject "Newest Network Security Patch".

I like Go-Carts. I like fast Go-Carts. How about a Go-Cart with a wankel, intercoiller, 500 horsepowers all "without making slipping the tires with the start". A 290KPH Go-Cart! From SnRuB.
