I was kind of disappointed in Falling Down. The trailer gave the impression that on that particular day, Michael Douglas just snapped. But that wasn't the case. He was already a loony bin and that day everything just seemed to happen at once. I guess I"ll buy it eventually, but with Gregory Peck just passing away recently, I find I need to buy several of his movies, especially To Kill A MOckingbird and 12 O'clock High.

Back on topic:
Why is it illegal to do DOS attacks on SPAMers?
Would we loose if were caught?
Would the penaltys be high if we lost?

"Why is it illegal to do DOS attacks on SPAMers?"

DOS attacks have a tendancy to knock out other people on the same network as well. That, and many spammers fake their address fields.

I am a pretty passive person. I do like to argue sometimes and have been known to get angry occasionally, but I would never hurt a person. I support the death penalty for certain heinous crimes, but I don't believe in indiscriminant vigilantism. However, I have about had it up to here with spam.

If someone wanted to make a movie about an ordinary guy who snaps and goes on a killing spree hunting down, maiming, torturing and murdering people who do spam for a living in all sorts of terrible painful ways, I would go several times and enjoy it thouroughly.

It actually might be kind of cathartic and prevent me from doing something like this in reality.

And how would you go about killing all these ba$tards that so dearly deserve to die?

I think the best method of execution would be a combination of the Moty Python spam sketch that named them and the "gluttony" death from the film "Seven". The ultimate result would be a "wafer thin" explosion in the style of Python's "Meaning of Life":

Dogscoff (in spam-lady voice): Go on dear, eat up your lovely spam, you've only had forty-three servings. Then you can have some spam spam spam spam spam egss, spaghetti sauce and spam. Then for dessert it's spam spam spam spam mint
ice cream spam spam spam spam and spam.

Spammer: Mmmmph! *gurgle* MMPPPPPHHH!!!

*KABLOOOM!* *Splat* *Splat* *Spam* *Splat*.

Viking Choir: Spammity Spam, Spam, Spam, SpaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmM!

(If this post makes no sense to you, go away and watch the entire collected works of Monty Python. Then come back.)

Many people on these Boards could use some; however, most aren't dangerous (unless you try to take away their copy of SEIV, or have a Beta copy of Starfury and won't let them play it).
Yea Fyron you wouldnt let me play it

Yea it all started when Michael Douglas' show the Streets of San Fransico got cancelled He then had to Romance some stone, but got side tracked when some Black Rain fell and saw a Jewel in Egypt instead. Of couse his Basic Instinct lead back before Falling Down

Heh yea then somewhere along the way he married two wives, dumped them both and then found Catherine Zeta Jones...go figure that...oh and in article before she married him, she stated that she just wants a simple guy to love. Yea right and Pamela Anderson is a genius.
