Megaspammer Monsterhut Loses On Appeal

Werehatrack writes "Much jubilation was expressed in news.admin.net-abuse.email when it was learned that the long-running court battle between PaeTec and Monsterhut had reached a definitive conclusion on Friday with a New York appeals court finding in favor of PaeTec which finally allowed PaeTec to pull the plug on their least-loved customer's connectivity. PaeTec was actually somewhat restrained in its news announcement on its own website, simply noting that they had won and that they had disconnected Monsterhut."

    It's so simple. Don't include GPL'd source code in your source code and the GPL doesn't affect you. Or is it so unjust that you can't get something for nothing and claim it as your own?

      "buckle your seatbelt, dorothy - kansas is going bye-bye."
      That was easily the worst line in the Matrix. It was tacky, forced, and just plain stupid. When I heard it, I had the impression that some studio exec had gone to one of the Wachowski brothers and said "Okay, gang! The script is good, but we need more shitty, smart-ass sounding lines that we can use in our marketing!" And now you have it in your sig. Thanks for bringing back all the bad memories, you toenail-fucker. Please die.

      You are completely right.

  15. Re:12 inch penises are illegal in the US? by Kintanon · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    Yes, sadly many of us have had to suffer through a trimming process to return our penises to the accepted legal limit of 11 inches. The procedure is quite painful and involves a fair amount of screaming. This law has caused a massive "cock-drain" of American porn-stars into other countries with less restrictive penis size limits. The American pornography industry has suffered accordingly with some recent features starring men with less than impressive 6 and 8 inch penises. Please, if you are in the US, lobby your congressman to overturn this heinous law and bring back our former pornographic glory in the US!

  17. Damn Lawyers and Biochemists by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I recently worked at a major search engine comapany. Our product could encode word positions as paragraph/sentence/word (but saved these as bytes, thus limitted sentences to a maximum of 255 words). Well, this was bad for the lawyers since they like those long run-on legaleze sentences that routinely exceed 255 words.

    The product also limitted words to fewer than 256 characters which is fine for 99.999% of the english language. Unfortunately the biochemists name new compounds with huge names such that they wanted a limit of 1024 or 4096 characters for word length...
