MIT Spam Conference 2007 papers (Manni's blog)

Multimediawise, the MIT Spam Conference 2007 was a complete disaster. I didn't much like the webcasts they used in former years which required me to install the much despised real-player, but this years youtubing was a real quality blow. There isn't much to see in those videos and there is rarely anything to hear. According to the Spam Conference website, we can thank Rob Targosz of McAfee for messing up that part.

If you are not that multimedia inclined, you should be able to resort to downloading the presentations and the accompanying papers. But that would be a bit easy, wouldn't it? To make the papers accessible only to the technically inclined, the Spam Conference eggheads provided only ISO images of something that actually contains those files.

Fortunately, I am not on Windows and reading ISO images is no big hassle. Unpacking them, giving web-safe names to the files and transferring them to my server was no big deal either.

So here they are (don't ask me what is what, though):

According to John Graham-Cumming, the reason for the ISO-image is that Bill Yerazunis wants people to glance over all the papers. Makes me wonder what he would have done if he wanted people to not read the papers while still publishing them.
