Submission + - Spammers use stripper to get email accounts

Submitted by W33dz on Tuesday November 06, 2007 @10:29AM

W33dz writes: It appears that our wanton desire for naked boobies has been harnessed yet again. Spammers have created a Windows game which shows a woman in a state of undress when people correctly type in text shown in an accompanying image. The catch is that accompanying image comes directly from a CAPTCHAS query on a different website. As soon as the human horndogs answer the query, the spammers get a new email address to blast more smut.
I'm all for some good smut now and then, and I have to admit that this is pretty darn clever.

Mubarak Muhammed Abdullahi, a physics student, spent eight months building the yellow model seen here (Yahoo), or here (Gizmodo) using the money he makes from repairing cell phones and computers. While some of the parts have been sourced from a crashed 747, the chopper contains all sorts of surprises."

Submission + - Trenches plan to secure Baghdad

Submitted by W33dz on Friday September 15, 2006 @03:22PM

W33dz writes: With all of the violence in and around Baghdad, the Iraqi Interior Ministry announced today that they would be digging TRENCHES and erecting a wall around the city. Brigadier Abdul Karim of the interior ministry told the BBC that hundreds of minor roads would be sealed off under the plan, so that the city could only be accessed via 28 checkpoints. I guess if you can't get all those expensive weapons and cool little gadgets to work, you can always go back to moats and portcullises.
