"Spam King" Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Court 238

Posted by Zonk from the going-down-with-the-ship dept.
Monty writes "It looks like 'Spam King' Adam Vitale has finally plead guilty to violation of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 in federal court in New York City. 'The indictment said that in less than a week in August 2005, Vitale and Moeller sent e-mails on behalf of the informant to more than 1,277,000 addresses of subscribers at AOL, the online division of Time Warner Inc. Vitale will be sentenced on September 13 when he faces a maximum sentence of 11 years in prison. Moeller, who lives in New Jersey, faces the same charge.' We discussed Vitale's arrest back in February."

Submission + - Private Funds For Time Travel (nwsource.com)

WED Fan writes: "A University of Washington researcher who couldn't find funds the old fashioned way, from the Government, has raised funds from private parties to continue with his back in time studies.

He is studying the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox. Basically, using spooky action, he wants to be able to use entangled pairs to send messages, not only through space, but also in time.

As the evidence for this has accumulated, several fairly contorted and unsatisfying efforts have been aimed at solving the puzzle. Cramer has proposed an explanation that doesn't violate the speed of light but does kind of mess with the traditional concept of time.


Question: How do you know where to find and "listen" to the right entangled particle to receive a message from the future? Or, in that vast amount of noise, if you don't know someone is sending a message, how do you know its there?"

Journal Journal: Yahoo CEO Speaks Up about Shake Up 88

Journal by cvos
Yahoo has been under fire from loosing marketshare to Google and now MSN. Many executives have departed in the last few weeks, and Yahoo has received a lot of unfavorable press. Their CEO let out a (untentional) personal and heated response to media critics.

Semel's rhetoric goes to show how well-balanced he is: he's got a chip on both shoulders.

Journal Journal: intellectial "property" 1

Journal by slothman32

This is my idea of how IP should work.
It is my opinion.
I will try not to use works like property and owner since they make it seem like it is the same as physical goods.

First it is my guess, though of course I could be wrong, that the US founders, or at least Jefferson, would agree with me.

Journal Journal: Remembering Cybersmith 1

Journal by sootman

So, it's already the end of 2006. That means it's been ten whole years since I worked at Cybersmith. I can't believe it. My life is just whipping by. But, be that as it may, I've always been into nostalgia, so I think I'll write down as much as I can remember about the place and see if anyone else has anything to add. Feel free to comment if you ever worked at one or visited.
