OT: Lycos Europe has started to distribute a special screensaver in a
controversial bid to battle spam.
The program - titled Make Love Not Spam, and available for Windows and the
Mac OS - sends a request to view a spam source site. When a large number of
screensavers send their requests at the same time the spam web page becomes
overloaded and slow.
The servers targeted by the screensaver have been manually selected from
various sources, including Spamcop, and verified to be spam advertising
sites, Lycos claims. Several tests are performed to make sure that no server
stops working. Flooding a server with requests so that the server is unable
to respond to the volume of requests made - a process known as a distributed
denial of service (DDoS) attack - is considered to be illegal
