Oooh, an evil spammer in the making. Shall we kill him now or later?
By using a search engine you may claim you are targeting, but UCE is
UCE, targeted or not. Don't do it. Ever. Stop thinking about this!
This is timely, though, as I just wrote a spam-prevention and privacy
device in Perl -- it hides email addresses from web pages. It's done
and working; I'm just writing up the documentation before releasing it.
Actually, I'm trying to write a Unix installer. Does anyone have a good
way of getting the time zone as +/-hhmm? I found the Unix 'date' command
will let me get "PDT" (for example), but I'd really like to get "-0700"
and "-0800"...
thanks,
