Open up a can of spam

Today's requisite spam entry:

Wired News

In the two weeks since the Can-Spam Act, a U.S. law barring unscrupulous bulk e-mailing practices, took effect this year, providers of spam-filtering software say they're blocking more messages than ever. Spammers, they say, are either ignoring the law or pretending to comply with guidelines for legitimate e-mail marketing.

With the advent of Can-Spam, Jacob said spammers are also increasingly guilty of "faux compliance," exploiting a caveat in the law that permits unsolicited e-mails from legitimate marketers who allow recipients to opt out of future mailings. Unscrupulous junk mailers are pretending to go along with the guidelines by including false return addresses for opting out.

Spirit rolls off the lander

OK, I know, I know. I'm late with this news. But, in case you have been under a rock (or had some crazy times at work like I have the past couple of days), marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov is a great starting page

and the winner is....

the winners have been announced in MoveOn.org's 30-second George Dubyah ad campaign. You can see them here.

On a related note, MeFi's got a spot about CBS rejecting a request to air the spots. Lots of interesting links there too.
