Lycos has just released a screen saver which 'strikes back' against spammers by attempting to use the slashdot effect on the spammers site, effectively slowing and theoretically stopping them from doing their business.
Unfortunately, I really doubt this will have any effect…most spammers are savvy enough to be able to deal with this kind of attack pretty simply. I would imagine there is an underculture where they have to deal with this kind of thing from other spammers too…most of them have no-doubt launched such attacks themselves…so they know how to deal with them.
