Common internet scams

I love it.

It seems to me that internet Scams (one way or another) are cons that have been around for generations. Albeit using older technology, like snail-mail, pony-express or hieroglyphics on a pyramid wall. Same crap, different venue. Thanks Misfit.

BTW: Totally love Bob Parsons and GoDaddy, where Q-Baby makes her happy little home.

In a year and a half of hosting my useless little site: ZERO down time, $7.00 per month. (Wonder if Korpela and company are paying any attention at all to the possibilities here? LOL!)

Oh yes, I know GoDaddy well. It's where http://seti-at-home.com and http://seti-at-home.info are registered.

Now if Matt would just get off his duff and transfer those domains before I fwd them to someplace naughty. ;)

I simply meant that certain aspects of SAH could possibly handled much more efficiently and cheaply by third party companies.

As an example, allow third parties to handle the community aspects of SAH (such as these forums) while Berkeley looks to the strictly science aspects of things.

These forums, are just a glorified php forums. Actually, most php forums are much better organized. A couple of mysql dbases, a few Gigs of server side memory and off you go. Simple, elegant, cheap and far more reliable that whatever lurks in the server closet at Berkley. IMHO.

Might even help out with the continual bandwidth issues.

Not to mention heliping out with the, ahhh, questionable, interpersonal/power issues that seem to continually beset SETI.

I was just thinking about the new email system wich was developed by a german university.
You no longer need email adresses.
It will analize the subject and the message and sent to different adresses.
Could be interesting.
I´m glad i do have a strong spam filter.

Especially when they mis-spell "analyze"; must not have spell-check installed.

I think that spelling is more appropriate for spam. ;)
