Ben Kittridge admits that spamming violates traditional hacker ethics. But with computer programming jobs scarce, the eighteen-year-old Florida software whiz has joined the spam trade. This year, Kittridge made several thousand dollars selling Fahrenheit, a spamware program he wrote from scratch, to dozens of mysterious customers.

But now, Kittridge finds himself an unwitting accomplice in a recent email scam that attempted to separate customers of US Bancorp from their account information.

Joe, don't beleive the myth - gov't CANNOT create jobs.

It can only create at atmosphere where private people and industry create jobs.

Damn...I wonder if thats why Hooper is out there looking for people to invest 5-10 million in his next creative marketing idea?

My guess is them legal fees are getting mighty high. Maybe he should ask Joe E how all that turns out....I hear they hold on tight to flop ears in prison!
