2 for 2, I might make this a part-time job... anyway who thought it productive to read junk mail? :) this second case was LaSalle and a site in Korea... an ex-site in Korea.

cheers!

BLOGGER NOTE: I had to re-fwd the e-mail because I keep forgetting that
Blogger doesn't accept attachments of sorts... sorry for the formatting
mishaps and whatnot.

So it's really hard to decide what to tell to a person when they let you know they are spammers and carders, and happy to be into it. I met such a person on chat tonight and I was unable to explain to her why I think spamming is such a disgusting practice. Far from me, now, a possible epiphany regarding the fact that maybe I do not mind spam as much as I think I do and so on, so forth... no, nothing of the sort.

But I was merely curious how does one begin to explain to a practicioner of spamming that what they do is inherently wrong? I mean, in an intelligent, equal-footing conversation, if the climate permits, how do the two sides advertise their point of view?

It is very late and I am unable to further any possible train of thought... I leave it to the random reader to throw a comment or two.

I so didn't need this...

but of course it happened. Filesystem inconsistencies on /home/ which is my reiserfs v3.6 partition... I had issues once before, but the badblock list was short... now, more stuff showed up. Anyway after 2 days and a whole bunch of `badblocks -o reiserdebug.log -v /dev/hda` and reiserfsck-ing I have it all back together... still... I believe a new hardrive might be required for my laptop and we all know what prices those things have. Adam can buy a whole computer with $300 and I have to pay close to that for a hardrive... it's not fair.

But yes, one of my other computers, purgatorio, is an AMD Athlon @ 1 GHz with 512 RAM and a 64MB ATI Radeon 7000... one could probably get even more back for the buck, but the machine has no problem running either *n`x-es or Windows stuff.

okay so taking that site down was quick, as less than 24 hours after the post the URL was unreachable... I also received a generic e-mail reply from spoof@ebay.com teaching me how to avoid getting duped by spoof e-mails... hello! what did i just do? :)

well in all fairness I think AoL conducted themselves well since it took them this short to attend to the matter... of course this isn't the first or last phishing scam out there but... the fewer the better. I'm still very curious whether the WHOIS information - particularly the part pertaining to the name and personal details of the person to register ebaymain.com - is true... something tells me it probably isn't but... who knows? it'd be hard to take appropriate legal action about this, anyhow...
