I just got a flurry of emails from addresses I've never sent email to telling me my email was refused as spam. I think my email address has been hijacked. I sent in a ticket to my hosting company notifying them of the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? I feel sort of like I've been mugged.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
GC -- my co-worker installed his own. He said it was easy.
Allyson -- that might be that someone (or ones) with your e-mail address in their addressbook has been hit by some sort of virus. Try googling an exact sentence from the e-mail and see if it turns up any informative hits.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Above is a link to a truly geeky valentine's day t-shirt. I love it, of course.
Oh, I *love* it! "All my base are belong to you." Bwah!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've had that happen, Allyson, but I decided it was some spammer using my address as their fake return address. I forwarded it to yahoo (it's a yahoo account), and nothing happened.

Thanks, I got a response from my service provider and they basically said, 'no worries, it's a pain in the ass and makes everyone sad."

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Can anyone tell me why I can't view PDFs or more than half of the quicktime movies I run across in either Mozilla Firefox or IE 6 and how to fix it?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Redownload the latest Adobe Reader and make sure it installs the latest plugins, maybe.

I did recently download the latest reader. I thought it started some time after that, but maybe not. Thanks, Daniel. I'll try that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So...due to some random circumstances, I have been checking my hotmail account recently. What a piece of shit hotmail is.
A couple of questions:
1) if you identify a sender as "not junk" why doesn't it remember it?
2) why is hotmail so bad?

As far as I can tell, Hotmail is not actually meant to be used.
