It Takes Two Days To Realize Spam Is A Tough Problem?

from the get-over-it dept

The FTC is holding their E-mail Authentication Summit, and tried to start day 2 by saying that, even if it's hard, spam can be defeated. Unfortunately, no one told the panelists -- as one after another sounded the defeatest note about how impossible it was to stop spam. Sounds like it must have been a great conference for uplifting the spirits of... well... the spammers.

Great Mizuti: clearly scc, this was the next step in the "if you've got nothing to hide...." argument. at least they're being thematically consistent, amirite? >_

silverscarcat: You know, if I was a senator, I'd tell the NSA to dump the email records of all the supporters of the NSA's programs, not only the Senators, the Reps, their families, their friends, any of their lobbyists and I would filibuster the Senate by reading off..

...The most embarrassing and damning emails that they have on live television so that the news networks (Fox, CNN, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert) could tear them apart.

Great Mizuti: I have to give credit to the Daily Show, they had segments on the NSA in every episode last week. They did not relent.

Ninja: Holy smokes it was EPIC!

Leigh Beadon: @GM their segment name of "Good News! You're Not Paranoid" was especially great, i thought :)

Great Mizuti: @Leigh definitely. they did not lose their edge with the replacement host (i suppose no sign they should have, same writers probably)

silverscarcat: http://trutechnoid.com/2013/06/17/drm-is-the-future/ - If this is the future, then the future is bleak and gaming will die.

Leigh Beadon: @GM i felt like John Oliver needed a couple episodes to settle into the rhythm and now he's right on point. He's always been good though, and he's slowly bringing a bit of his own flavour to it

but yeah, the writing team is the same i'm sure, just with a different guy delivering (and possibly approving) the jokes

Mike Masnick: btw, i only just discovered last week that john oliver has a weekly podcast. which is awesome

Great Mizuti: @ssc, i could not get passed the second paragraph in that article. run-ons and fragments and grammar, oh my! this is clearly not the official spokesman for the future of the industry.

@mike, does he really?!? i did not know this. seems like something i can't live without now that i know about it.

Mike Masnick: http://thebuglepodcast.com/

silverscarcat: GM, I could barely read the article myself.

John Fenderson: Wow. I seriously think that AJ has finally suffered a complete psychotic break.

Josh in CharlotteNC: Not the first time, John. He's been overdue for awhile.
