What funny things can you do with someone's IP-address?
First of all, and the far most easy thing you can do with someone's IP is actually locate where this IP is generated. Many websites can do this for you while you just insert the IP address you have.
That is for the 100% legal part.
(As basicly any website records your IP, and therefor acceses that info)
You can also easily play some tricks with your friends using your "comand prompt"
(=> type in cmd in your "run" thingie )
Eg : DoS attacking them; in English : overflowing them with info, and thus eating up their broadwith, so they suffer heaby lag. I advise to you not to try this when you don't have a fast connection yourself. And don't try to overflowing servers (say Google) with your home PC as you'd crash even before those website gets a few ms of "extra" lagg.
This however can easily be defended by your victims firewalls.
There are many, many, many, many other things you can do with IPs , but those things are more advanced.
Actually your asking us : "what funny things can you do when you have someones name ?"

SPAM is unwanted or unsolicited email that is sent to you by either maliciuous hackers trying to steal your info or by legitimate companies that send out "net-wide" advertisements to promote their products.

More often than not this occurs as a result of an automated "bot" program.

Even if young children know the rules of hotmail accounts they can still ignore the rules and stuff like that really.

What are the reasons for using a proxy server?
Back in the day, Proxies was used to virtually connect computers to networks that wasn't physically at the network area. As in you have a computer in area A and a computer in area B, you would use a proxy to link both of those computers so it seems like computer B is within area As network, or vise versa. Computer A would also be running a encrypted layer, if it has, so if monitored from area B, all they would see a lot of bandwidth being used from one connection.
Today, people use a more "user-friendly" service that has surpassed the use of proxies, but still uses its technologies, VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) are networks dedicated to only be connected to and its computers to only be used for monitoring services. VPNs use more resources this way by the computers just standing in idle for connections to come in, while proxies; theres already a computer within the network at all times on the network running for its purpose waiting for a other computer to come in to do the same thing.
Lets some some analogies.
Proxies:
Lets say a whole bunch of your friends are at a party, but you can not come for some reason. So you choose to just buzz in through a webcam, and just hang out like that.
People come by the computer and look into the webcam to talk to you, chat, socialize through the computer. Your at a different location, while the entire "Party/Network" is over in a other location.
VPNs:
The room is empty. Not a soul to be seen, just computers lined with computers. Then you, and all your friends connect from etirely diffrent locations, to this one "Party/Network" And you all socialized like that.
