Did "Father of MIME" just resurface failed idea of micropayments to stop SPAM? Not exactly.
http://j.mp/HdeLYQ (Google+) "And let me clarify as well: People who think we can do this today are naive, if not crazy. My position is somewhat subtler than the article conveys -- I believe that we will turn to economic solutions only when we have gotten all we can out of every other approach to spam, which I believe will happen because Moore's Law is on the spammer's side. Based on no data whatsoever, my wild guess would be that this will be in the 2025-30 time frame. So almost all implementation-related arguments are irrelevant if they're based on today's capabilities. In other words, it's a prediction so far in the future that it's irrelevant for any practical purpose. I still believe it, though." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
