Microsoft researchers are working on a way to stem the rising tide of spam by forcing spammers to use more computing resources for each message they send. The idea is to make it much more expensive for spammers to do business because they would need to get more machines and more bandwidth to keep sending out the same number of e-mails.

THE MISSING LINK

![]()

Officials from eBay say auction traffic spikes noticeably in January. You'd just better hope one of those surfers
isn't Aunt Millie making sure you're not hawking those plaid socks she gave you!
