Congress has finally found something to do; <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/30859.html">US lawmakers lose patience over spam</a> on the <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/">Register</a> reports that: <bq>US lawmakers finally appear to be losing their patience over spam, with unsolicited e-mail now costing American business billions of dollars every year.</bq> Isn't it great that as long as spam was just annoying everyone in the country and hampering our collective ability to make use of the Internet, it was fine to leave legislation out of it and accept spam as an unfortunate side-effect? But now that the more worthwhile citizens of our nation, corporations, are losing work-time and money to this scourge, something must be done. With spam, or "Binary Anthrax" as it's doubtless soon to be called by the hyperbole-happy crowd we've got taking us on this wild ride, poised as the next biggest danger to America, we can happily forget about having been lied into supporting overt imperialism, forget about big tax-cuts to people richer than us and forget about private Lynch's faked rescue. Good thing they consulted Microsoft on this one too --- if we can just get them to shut off the HotMail servers, the spam problem would be half-solved.
