A friend of mine sent me this link to a new pyramid scheme:

http://www.vmdirect.com/

It requires Java (preferably 1.4.2).  Here's a video email from 
him:

if anyone cares to look (again, ya gotta have Java installed).

I took a quick look for RFC's regarding video email but it looks 
like I could easily spend the rest of the day learning about 
this.  I'm betting that someone on the list already knows.

I don't get involved in pyramid schemes, but I'm curious about the 
tech and whether there are RFCs coming down the pike that already 
cover this type of stuff.

I suppose that my friend will make a small pile of money.  I doubt 
that he'll make significant money over the long term, but I 
always seem to underestimate people's capacity for stupidity.  
Maybe, as he predicts, next year there really will be a million 
people paying $5 a month for the ability to send video emails.

Whatever.  I'd just like to hear everyone else's take on this.
