Facebook & Myspace Taking Some Spammers To Court
kevinqtipreedy writes "Social networks like Facebook and Myspace are now bringing spammers into the court systems in new attempts to put a stop to it. Although spammers rarely show up in court and the suits do not always lead to monetary reward, companies are hoping the 'chilling effect' will help in the effort to curb spam."

Kuai (dish)
Kuai is a Chinese dish consisting of finely sliced raw fish or meat.
Raw fish dishes are first documented in China in the Zhou Dynasty, and are mentioned in the Shi Jing, Analects of Confucius, and Mencius. Although the dish was not widely consumed during dynastic China, it enjoyed a very high status in Chinese cuisine. > Although Chinese physicians recommended against it due to the very real possibility of serious illness due to flukes and other parasitic organisms, many prominent Chinese individuals (including Cao Zhi and Chen Deng, 陳登) maintained a strong affinity for the dish. > It was believed that the application of strongly flavored spices such as mustard or Sichuan pepper could render the dish safe to consume. >

Why Go To The Bank?
Why do people go to a bank? To get cash, apply for a loan, or deposit checks? Well if you work for a decent sized company you likely get direct deposit. If you need a loan you can apply online. But what if you run a small business? I happen to run one myself and I don’t have the luxury of direct deposit. I get checks from most of my clients so I have to drive to the bank at their set hours to put my money in there. I would pay extra not to have to do so. I don’t like making extra trips or stopping my route to go by the bank to make deposits. I’d love to just get the information off my checks then send that info to the bank. After all they don’t send me actual paper “cleared checks” anymore. They just post the image online for me which is fine by me. I had seen some news coverage of a way to just scan checks into your account and since then it seems to be getting more popular. I live in a small town so my banks don’t offer this service yet but that doesn’t matter as I don’t need to go to them if I can get the service elsewhere. The whole point is to do all my banking online. I’d rather work with local businesses but if that is not possible I will go elsewhere. One company offering the service is here.
