Abstract
This paper looks at the negative effect of spam on Internet use. The paper begins by describing the positive aspects of the Internet and how large numbers of people are using it for every day reasons. The paper then discusses some of the negative aspects of the Internet such as spam e-mails. It focuses on the product, Hoodia - a weight-loss product, that has been soliciting buyers by sending spam e-mails. The paper argues that spam must be stopped as it is destroying the enjoyment of using the Internet.
From the Paper
"Not only is the efficacy of Hoodia not proven, but Wikipedia notes that "Many products claiming to contain Hoodia do not actually contain the active ingredient alleged to suppress appetite" (Wikipedia, on web page cited). Yet regardless of all this, innocent computer users who merely wanted to check their E-mail were subjected to a barrage of literally billons of spam emails during 2006, all of them offering Hoodia extracts to solve obesity problems. This prompted many complaints to the American Federal Trade Commission - but as usual, very few prosecutions and convictions. (Wikipedia)"

The paper provides statistics as to the amount of spam circulating on the Web. The issue of legislation regarding spam is discussed in the paper. Spam filtering technology is explored as a possible solution to the problem.
From the Paper
"The term spam has a rather innocuous and interesting background. The name comes from the Monty Python comedy sketch in which a group of Vikings in a restaurant start singing "Spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam! Wonderful spam!" They annoy the waiter who tells them to shut up. The interpretation of the ?action? rather than the meaning of the word itself refers to a repetitive act that annoys. In terms of online communication, this annoyance has developed into a crisis, which has powerful consequences for business in particular. The European Commission recently stated that the problem costs ?6.4bn a year in connection charges and lost productivity - the equivalent of ?16 per Internet user."

Abstract
This report exams the current situation of spam in Australia by looking at the major issues surrounding spam. It then evaluates whether it is possible to stop spam altogether in the foreseeable future. The writers looks at why spam is still on the rise and what are current efforts to fight spam.
From the Paper
"Almost every Internet user who uses email would have encountered spam, and for some users, it has almost become an automatic daily ritual to press the delete key upon receiving offers of cheap Viagra pills or low mortgage rates (Swartz 2003). Symantec Brightmail, a spam filtering software company, estimates that 60% of all Internet email traffic is spam (Symantec Brightmail cited in Sipior, Ward and Bonner 2004). This translates to approximately 76 billion messages, requiring nearly 10 petabytes of storage. Confronted with such staggering statistics, businesses, consumers and governments around the world have been fighting to stop spam, whether it is by creating anti-spam legislations, using anti-spam technology or educating the public. In Australia, the fight by the government to seriously control and regulate spam started in 2003 with the passing of the Spam Act 2003 (ACT). Technologically, anti-spam software or filters have been making great advances (Burton, Mogull, Allan, Hallawell 2004). Public education campaigns have been organized to raise public awareness to the danger of responding to spam"

Abstract
This paper addresses the current situation that our country is facing with "spam." It focuses on spam advocates, the opposition, and their points of view. Some groups examined are the marketers, Internet service providers, consumers, organizations, and free speech advocates. The paper is written with a tendency towards electing an opt-in procedure for future spam. There is great support with statistics and summaries of spam legislation. It contains extremely current information and data.
From the Paper
"In this paper we are exploring the issue of spam and whether or not the US should adopt an ?opt in? or ?opt out? procedure. To do this we are looking at the major players involved in the spam problem that plagues the Internet today. These groups include marketers, Internet service providers (ISPs), consumers, corporations, and free speech advocates. We will also be taking into consideration examples from other countries, such as Korea and the UK, who have already adopted legislation on the issue. Thus far in the United States only ?opt out? legislation has been considered. The ?opt out? system establishes the right to oppose spam for those who do not wish to receive commercial non-solicited communications. The ?opt in? scheme means that commercial non-solicited communications are only addressed to those who have given their previous and express consent for it. There are both positive and negative implications in both of these systems for each of the major players in the US. We will discuss these thoroughly and argue that ?opt in? is the system that the United States should adopt."

Abstract
The paper discusses the the relationship between gender and family to politics and class and how they impact the Manifesto. The paper explains that the Manifesto was authored over 150 years ago and was a blueprint plan for communism. The paper shows how relations between class and politics and gender and family are clear through the teachings Karl Marx imparts in the Manifesto. The paper discusses how Marx and Friedrich Engels accuse the bourgeoisie class of not respecting family values or females. The paper explains that the family of the bourgeoisie class will self destruct; true strong family values and respect of females as a gender will eventually rise up and overpower the bourgeois class to provide a world of equality, family love and peace.
Outline:
Introduction
Class and Politics
Family
Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to the Manifesto the development of the new social classes occurred in direct correlation with the corresponding changes and advances in the political system that went along with that class. The Manifesto claims that the oppressed class has historically played a very important revolutionary part in the development of the class system, the political advances and the development and advancement of communism itself during the process. The emerging class of the bourgeoisie played a part in the development of the other class as well because without the separation of its parts it would not have created an atmosphere for another class to emerge."

Spam:The Evil of the Computer Age, 2002.

Abstract
This paper begins by discussing and defining the nature of spam. It compares the high costs of telemarketing and bulk mail to the low or no costs of spam on the sender. It also states that the receiver is burdened with the job of deleting and blocking future mail. The writer then looks at various economic issues related to spam - commission received by the sender and the negative effect it has on sincere advertising endeavours. The paper concludes with a discussion on what is being and can be done in the field to prevent and minimize spam.
From the Paper
"In the computer age, spam, or unsolicited e-mail advertising messages, is considered one of the primary evils that e-mail users have to deal with. While some consider spam as no more of an inconvenience than the traditional junk mail, others consider spam the most dire invasion of privacy since the invention of computers. According to a former spammer (Kosseff, 2003), the nearly $1,000 he made per week as a result of spamming practices was not worth the personal costs in terms of hate mail and threatening phone calls. The cost to the spammer however is much cheaper than the cost to the user. Once the initial investments in spamming equipment is made, it becomes very easy to send up to 10 million messages per day. Also, this practice can be set up to work automatically, so all the spammer needs to do is monitor the sending from time to time (Kosseff, 2003)."

SPAM, 2005.
This paper discusses the origin and problems of e-mail SPAM.

Abstract
This paper explains that SPAM, originally the name of a disgusting canned substance, is annoying junk email or mass, unsolicited commercial email; the use of the term as repetitive junk comes from a Monty Python skit. The author relates that the first SPAM was originated when two lawyers named Canter and Siegel hired a programmer to write a program script that would post the lawyers' advertisement to thousands of newsgroups on "USENET", which at the time was the world's largest online conferencing center. The paper contends that SPAM is the absolute worst way to get a message across because these junk emails are never read, only deleted yet they cost society millions, if not billions, of dollars and are very difficulty to control through software and legislate.
From the Paper
"Aside from being annoying, Spam is costing people big bucks. Saul Hansell of the New York Times explains how in the year 2000, Indiana University spent approximately 1.2 million dollars on a new network of nine computers, with their sole purpose being to process email for over 115,000 students and faculty members across the state. This network was believed to be sufficient until 2004, but with the exponential increase in Spam email, the school had to upgrade their system in 2001, at a cost of 300,000 dollars. The cost to universities is chump change compared to what it is estimated to be costing the United States."

Abstract
This paper discusses the ideas in "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, in which they set forth a program that is both descriptive and prescriptive, describing what they see as the evolution of society and prescribing action in order to take society to the next level. According to the paper, they say that this level is inevitable, but that does not mean it cannot be hurried along by action. The Manifesto involves both social and economic change on a grand scale, including a shift in the political structures from one era to the next.
From the Paper
"The state in which these men lived at the time was capitalism, which they saw as only an interim state before the uprising of the proletariat and the imposition of a dictatorship of the proletariat before a shift to a completely communist system, presumably the end point in the evolution of the social order.

Abstract
This paper examines the problem of spam and how it affects personal computer users, entrepreneurs, and businesses worldwide. It explains that spam's main threat is that, if it is not reduced, it can seriously disrupt the flow of commercial and other types of information across the Internet and that, ultimately, it may be a persuasive factor in the loss of confidence in the Internet and e-mail as a reliable form of information exchange.
From the Paper
"While the term spam has a rather innocent background it is developing into one of the greatest threats to modern online communication with far ranging affects for both personal and business Internet users. The name ?spam? comes from the Monty Python comedy sketch in which a group of Vikings in a restaurant start singing "Spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam! Wonderful spam!" They annoy the waiter who tells them to shut up. The interpretation of the meaning of the word refers to a repetitive act that annoys. In terms of online communication this ?annoyance? has developed into a crisis, which has powerful consequences for business in particular. The European Commission recently stated that the problem costs ?6.4bn a year in connection charges and lost productivity - the equivalent of ?16 per Internet user.

Abstract
This paper discusses the Agile Manifesto, a conceptual framework for software development. The paper focuses primarily on Martin Fowler, one of the pioneers of the Agile Manifesto and one of the gurus of design patterns. The paper discusses how Fowler is able to emphasize the importance of this methodology in writing software.
From the Paper
"Although Fowler strives to achieve simplicity in his software design and development, other critics view the simplistic approach "as not realistic (Fowler, 2006)" and then on the other hand, a rebuttal can be made by stating, "but if you make it too complex then people have to understand a bunch of stuff that's nothing to do with the pattern in order to understand the pattern. (Fowler, 2006)" Still, Fowlers style promotes an easier understanding of any system and renders the output as usable, reusable and understandable not only to other developers by the lay users as well. Like a well written English literature, Fowler divides his pattern work into the Alexandrian form wherein (Fowler, 2006)"

Abstract
The following paper looks at two works: "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and the "Communist Manifesto". The way in which religion was used to help maintain power will be discussed with reference to these two works. The fundamental similarities and differences between these two books will be drawn upon.
From the paper:
" Although Uncle Tom?s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Communist Manifesto were written at about the same point in history, they are markedly different books. Although one was a fictional novel and one a philosophical treatise, both works influenced their countries to a greater or lesser degree during a civil war, and surprisingly similar views regarding religion are either expressed or implied in both works. This paper will look at how the two works discuss or reveal how religion was used to help maintain positions of power."

Communist Manifesto, 2007.

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines 'The Manifesto of the Communist Party' by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels from the year 1848. The writer maintains that their suggestion that history, politics, and economy have always been entwined makes sense in light of the fact that the communist system they propose is both a political and economic system. The writer discusses the document and looks at its argument for change. The writer concludes that despite the fact that the document was written a long time ago, Marx and Engels still capture the spirit of the modern imagination by asserting the power people have for change and reminding even the humblest factory worker that life could and should be different.
From the Paper
"The Manifesto of the Communist Party by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels professed revolutionary ideas in 1848. The authors expressed their views of the history of economics, politics, and society and suggested remedies for the evils they discerned. Their ideas were new and radical in their scope, and the transitioning world of the 19th and 20th centuries was a receptive audience. The wide appeal of their words during the first two centuries of the existence of the Manifesto has declined, though, because of the rise of individualism and the concrete failures of the system of communism that have so pervaded the modern world."

The Communist Manifesto: A Struggle with reality, 2007.
A criticism of Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto".

Abstract
This paper examines the weaknesses in Karl Marx' argumentation for the victory of the proletariat. More specifically, the paper focuses on Marx's beliefs about economics and the inevitable victory of the proletariat . The paper discusses these concepts and beliefs as found in Marx's work "Communist Manifesto" and then presents the writer's opinions of Marx's work.
From the Paper
""The communist Manifesto is, of course, a document written for a particular moment in history," Eric Hosbawn states in his introduction to the modern edition of Marx' Communist Manifesto. And yet its impact extends far past that particular moment in history, drawing in the suppressed as well as intellectuals, because it makes believe that history itself is working towards the realization of their ideals for humanity. The notion that the "fall of the bourgeoisie and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable" is an inspiring construct, however, one that has proven faulty and inaccurate in the contexts of history and human nature. Hosbawn further suggests that the Manifesto represented a relatively immature phase in the development of Marxian thought. This implies that at the particular time when it was written Marx himself did not yet have a full grasp of economic theory and people theory. In this paper, I intend to examine some of the weaknesses in Marx argumentation, more specifically in his beliefs about economics, and why the "victory of the proletariat" proved to be evitable after all."
