Hate spam as much as I do? Really really hate it? Well, have I got news for you!
Lycos has created a screensaver which fights spam sites
I believe this calls for a Mwahahahah!
I already got it. It’s easy on your bandwidth, and hopefully it’ll be very expensive for the spammers. They say that it won’t cause DoS attacks. Well, that’s too bad. Wanna know why internet connections can be expensive? These guys are why. We are subsidizing these clowns. No more.
Let’s get 'em.
Yeah, I picked it up last night and I’ve reset my screensaver so that it activates after less time.
It is kinda sad that we can have denial of service attacks, pretty sure those are illegal though, bah.
And yes, hopefully we’ll cut into the fuckers’ profit margin enough to dissaude 'em.
I’ve left both my computers at work running this overnight ever since I downloaded it.
Rock, spread the meme.
(just don’t spam it)

Does anybody know when Americans can get this?, it would fill my heart with joy to help bring the Spammers of the world to thier(sp?) knees.

Yay, spread the word. Our antipodean brothers are having problems though.
Well, I downloaded it yesterday. And I’m living in Austin. So my guess is, as soon as you want.
On the link that I provided, choose “international English” as your language. I’ve had no problems yet.
Well, shucks.
A) should’ve checked MPSIMS first, but damnit, I was strongly considering using the word ‘motherfuckers’ in my OP.
B) That sucks. Think of all the koalas still being subject to spam. (I kid, I kid)
Silly question. If enough people DL this stuff, isn’t it possible to bog things down a bit?
To bog what things down for whom?
It’ll probably make the servers hosting the program a bit flakey, yeah.
I don’t think that general 'net traffic should suffer… though that’s an interesting concept.
Don’t you mean “to bog down who for the what now?” 
That’s what I was wondering.
I have DL’d it and reset my options accordingly, it makes me giddy to Spam the Spammers(hopefully) into oblivion.

The web page is down, probably due to the (ironically) high volume of traffic its recieving (otherwise spammers are just DDOSing it). Does anyone know where I could find a mirror of the screensaver?
Thanks!

I just returned to find my screensaver with a lil’ animated bit of five sites in America being spoken to by my comp.
And all I can say is,
Mwahahahaha!
Motherfuckers.
I clicked on both links mentioned in the OP. The first one worked just fine but the second site gave me this message:
:eek:
Um… Guys… Should I be worried here? …cause I kinda am…
Check out the MPSIMS thread for a more in depth discussion of this.
In a nutshell, probably not, no.
You clicked on a website, and the ‘warning’ came up.
The ‘warning’ did not come up when you actually tried to download any contraband software.
In other words, a hacker is most likely fucking with folks and the site.
Whew. Thanks, Finn. I’ll check out the other thread.
