?Two years from now, spam will be solved?
Bill Gates - January 24, 2004

will it happen?

It was solved (Not by Bill Gates mind you) Systems like spamarrest mailblocks etc. block spam 100% No one's implemented it ISP wide though.

Although MailBlocks was bought out by AOL for something like 8 million back in the day, I don't believe they ever added it to their system.

when they have it solved im sure they will spam the solution to everyone

Good ole Bill I love him.

If anyone has 20 million and wants to buy paul allens island thats about 5 minutes from my house.. let me know. hehe

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

It's hardly solved if 80-90% of email traffic is spam, and if you asked internet users what their number one complaint about internet is, most would say it's spam... It's almost like a motorcycle owner claiming there is no problem finding a free parking space downtown NY or Chicago... (I know, bad analogy :1orglaugh)

i am yet to find a spam program that does not trap email that is not spam. not one and i have tried damn near every one.

i gave up, run filters and spend 15-20 min a day weeding it out. if my customers get caught in spam programs they chargeback. fuck that.

the reason i think they will never beat spam is you are constantly working against other human brains just as smart if not smarter than the developers of the software to filter spam.

solved? no, reduced? maybe heh... granted my inbox still gets inundated with junk every minute

I meant the technology to solve it is out there and has been for years. It would just need to be implemented by every major ISP which so far hasn't happened.

two years from now bill gates will still be full of shit and making crappy products.

two years from now bill gates will still have more money than all of us together

still doesn't change the fact that he is a tool.

too funny! and i believe true.

He's waiting for Apple to do it, so he can copy them.

I eliminated all spam with Spam Arrest. I get over 4,000 emails a day to my main account alone (see pic) 98.8% of which is spam.

I depend on ICQ and text messages over emails these days.

My spam filter filters out people that are in my address half the time. Often times I never see emails.

No spam sounds good to me!

You know, if I'd just open some of those emails I'd be richer, thinner and my cock would be hard 24/7. It says so right in the subject line.

go bill...save the world from the turrible spammers..lol

what a load of crap

I don't know about you but I don't get any spam in my email accs (except the porn ones, but you can't really do anything about that)

once spam is solved, im sure someone will make spam2.0 and that will be the new medium

Along with obscene amounts of money! :helpme

spam will never disappear,i`m pretty sure about it. I don`t know what Bill Gates was thinking when he made that statement !

80-90%? i thought it was closer to 98% :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Yup, Spam Arrest works good.

Bill will be known as a prophet someday. :1orglaugh

But I believe it.

dont think the problem has been solved :1orglaugh

daym you get A LOT of spam!
