I like the part about the email being "paid in full" by the sender.

Did they send you a check to cover your ISP costs for the month? ;D

Yeah, here, my Thunderbird anti-spam autotrashes that stuff. Somehow I taught it that "GroupLotto = trash".... :D Might have been clicking the email line on the spam column dot, then selecting Trash, telling it to "delete mail marked as junk in this folder" in Tools menu that accomplished this. I do that once per unique junk email. THEN I go to Comcast's email server, tell IT same thing on the web.

Since Comcast's server and my client are set to keep email on server for a while, I batch process spam on the server in the GUI interface. I've also figured out how to carry over my spam defs from version to version, for some version changes. Mozilla 1.7 rc1 also has this functionality.

So, the barcode, which was designed to communicate digital information through an analog medium, is supposed to acheive what, exactly, in an already digital medium?

;D

Like, do you hold a barcode scanner up to your monitor?

Duh. ;D

Remember that pen which scanned URL's saved in barcode format? (I think Radio Shack sold it.)

That really caught on... ;D
