hang microsoft's www

[Ron]

If we all take out lots of hotmail email addresses ( like a couple of hundred each - easy just use sequential numbers and forward every doc to every other address you have)and keep up to our 6meg limits, won't this make microsoft systems run really slow? And if a few thousand of us do this, lovely Bill'll have to buy more servers. And then you fill them up (never delete). And he'll start charging for 'services'. Or restrict emails. Or cry. Whatever happens, it'll piss off the common people. I was [email protected] and thought I was alone (sob) a long time before I found this site. By the way, anyone heard of Bilderberg? Gates is a member, so search on www and help anyone you can
  :eek:

That won't work as they'll just file a complaint with the courts for harrassment. There isn't a judge anywhere who wouldn't issue a restraining order to stop that. And they'd be right to do so. There was a similar case a few years ago where opponents of Jerry Falwell tried to jam his 1-800 number with computer generated calls. Same thing, he simply got a restraining order.

how d'you issue a restraining order against someone who isn't involved? This was a suggestion  to people and restraining orders have to quote names

[Ron]

& we ain't jamming his phone line. If A LARGE GROUP of people decide to do the same thing at once with no (proven) communication  between them, then we CAN jam wg's phonelines.
Can't issue court orders against us ( the people of America)
for being American
I'm willing to go to court - maybe that's why I ain't been sued yet. - By the way Bill, I copy everything you ever made, and post it on my site. Find it you fuck. And we're in Mexico
And Paraguay
And Cuba
And hiding our identities in Europe
U boys who are scared - fuck you. I've fought BG's shit all my life and I'm sick of it - pass on any sites offering free windows - don't use it but I#ll pass it on.....

Your idea of a denial-of-service attack on Hotmail would actually be rather trivial to avoid; simply track one of the spam messages and delete every account it gets forwarded to, then retroactively claim the right to do this in the legalese on their site.

However, I knew a guy in high school that would hack into Hotmail for shits and giggles. He would usually avoid doing anything that would leave on obvious trail, but he did bring their network down a couple of times just for fun. (-; He did end up with some heat from the FBI once, but if I recall correctly he managed to get away from that unscathed.

Actually it would work gump. If everyone opened those hotmail accounts, use the account on any porn site, then just let it sit. It'll have 5MB of spam within a couple of days.  Problem is, MS would use it as marketing material (*Everyone* uses hotmail). (:

It would also have a good side effect (or bad depending on if you are a perv).  It would bring down all the porn and spam servers.

Yeah, let's put MS and Hotmail to good use!

wouldn't it just up the hits to the porn sites, et c? Plus, you forget folks, that if you just leave yr hotmail account, and don't look in the inbox at least once a month, yr account gets deleted. this would only work for a month at the most, even if you could coordinate it... Not enough for 'scarey' mr Gates to be worried about i reckon, not at a tinky little 1 Mb a shot, which i believe is the upper limit for a hotmail account.
