More prior art to any attempted patents on challenge-based anti-spam systems. As noted previously, MailFrontier says they have a patent pending on theirs.
The prior art link above points to an archive of a service that was apparently working on November 27, 1999 and, no doubt, earlier.
Thanks to a personal email from Faisal N. Jawdat.

An amazing rant from Andrew Sullivan: "...we shouldn't be deluded into thinking that Islamism is some kind of legitimate religious faith: it's a murderous, suicidal, death-worshipping totalitarianism, built around the structure of a religion."
I am not a fan of any fundamentalist thinking, whether Islamic, Christian, pseudo-scientific (Nazi beliefs regarding "racial purity" being an example) or what-have-you, because of the mindless hate and destruction it seems inevitably to lead to. But it does seem that there may be a point in seeing the Islamic variation as uniquely "death-worshipping" among the major fundamentalist beliefs.

A new Jeff Bezos patent which seems truly ludicrous and a discussion about it. [Slashdot]
Another amusing patent, albeit with perhaps fewer possible negative ramifications for the Internet industry: Method for swinging on a swing.
