If you had them calling you everyday, you'd surely want to block the calls instead of calling them back and requesting them to stop calling. (I realize emails are less intrusive.)

And I don't care much for the company, I just want to use their services. I don't want their email barrage flooding my inbox. I shouldn't have to put up with it just because I'm an 'adult'. Spam is pretty much anything in my inbox that I didn't expect and don't want.

how would the computing power of botnets compare to this?

Granted, its more about network resources than calculations of the bitcoin kind.

According to [1], botnets control bots by the millions, and have the capacity to send billions of spam mails a day.

I second this recommendation. Its an awesome demo. I used ipython from before, but barely scratched the surface. Now I use IPython to finish up assignments where the code documents itself, and with extra tex/images to fill in where required. I even 'cheat' sometimes on Project Euler by running problems in parallel using ipython. ;)
