Spammer verschickte unglaubliche 800 Millionen Emails
Der in den USA als 'Buffalo-Spammer' bekannte Howard Carmack (SSN berichtete) wird die nächsten dreieinhalb Jahre einsitzen.
Diese Verurteilung schließt sich an ein bereits letzen Jahres ergangenes Urteil an, in dem dem Provider Earthlink 16.4 Millionen Dollar Schadensersatz von Cormack zugesprochen wurden.
Der Spammer nutzte 343 Emailaccounts um insgesamt 825 Millionen mal Spam zu verschicken. Für diese eindrucksvolle Zahl benötigte der Mann nur 16 Monate. Ein Fachmann von Sophos sagte das Spamaufkommen habe seit der Festnahme Cormacks aber zugenommen.

Welcome to Planet Pixar
How the pixel-packing upstart became an animation superpower and left Disney in the dust.
When Brad Bird arrived at Pixar in 2000, the first director ever recruited from the outside, he was skeptical about the company's reputation as an animator's paradise. You can't blame him. Already an industry legend for getting The Simpsons and King of the Hill off the ground, Bird was furious with Warner Bros. for botching the release of his labor of love, The Iron Giant. "They were closing down the animation division while we were still working on it," he says. "Every week there another exec would be gone. When they released the film, we didn't even have a poster!" So on Bird's first day at Pixar he showed up with a video camera and recorded everything, from the reception desk to the view from his office. He wanted evidence Pixar wouldn't disappear beneath his feet.
