Спаму 30 Лет !! !
- Код: Выделить всё
Первоначально слово «SPAM» появилось в 1936 г. Оно расшифровывалось как SPiced hAM (острый хамон) и было товарным знаком для мясных консервов компании Hormel Foods — острого колбасного фарша из свинины.
Thirty years ago next week, Gary Thuerk, a marketer at the now-defunct computer firm Digital Equipment Corporation, sent an email to 393 users of Arpanet, the US government-run computer network that eventually became the internet. It was the first spam email ever.
That commercial message, sent on 3 May 1978, drew a swift and negative reaction. Recipients complained directly to Thuerk, who had made no attempt to hide his identity, and DEC was reprimanded by the Arpanet administrators.

А вот ещё,интересно:
Today spammers target not just email, but also websites, blogs, social networking sites, and cellphones.
And there seems to be no end in sight, as spam-fighters struggle to keep the junk from overwhelming useful communications. Spammers and anti-spammers seem locked in an arms race. No one expects that the fight against spam will be won anytime soon, despite Bill Gates promise in 2004 that the world would be spam-free by 2006.
