    Spam rage

    SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Call it spam rage: A Silicon Valley computer programmer has been arrested for threatening to torture and kill employees of the company he blames for bombarding his computer with Web ads promising to enlarge his penis.
    If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

      The Sunnyvale, California man now faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for next month on charges of threatening to injure someone. He said he did not own any guns or have access to anthrax.
      didn't know you could get imprisoned for threatening a person with bodily harm, how is it criminal? but on a sidenote, that was perhaps the most humourous article i have read in a while.

        He said his firm does not send spam but blamed a rival firm which he said routes much of their unsolicited bulk e-mail through Russia and eastern Europe. Mackay said such firms gave a bad name to the penis enhancement business.
        There's a bit of hypocrisy in that statement.
