Verisign Ordered to Stop Deceptive Renewal Notices

Ummagumma writes: "CNN is running a story on how the courts have ordered Verisign to stop their deceptive 'renewal notices' to other registrars' customers. I've gotten a couple of these, and was smart enough to figure out what's going on, but this is a dirty practice, of borderline legality. Let's hope they get smacked down hard for this one..."

  2. Mississippi by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    A professor at the University of Mississippi is giving a
    lecture on the supernatural. To get a feel for his
    audience, he asks: "How many people here believe in
    ghosts?" About 90 students raise their hands.

    "Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who
    believe in ghosts, do any of you think you've ever seen
    a ghost?" About 40 students raise their hands.

    "That's really good. Has anyone here ever talked to a
    ghost?" 15 students raise their hands.

    "That's great. Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" 3
    students raise their hands.

    "That's fantastic. But let me ask you one question
    further... Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?"
    One student way in the back raises his hand.

    The professor is astonished and says, "Son, all the
    years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever
    claimed to have slept with a ghost. You've got to come
    up here and tell us about your experience."

    The redneck student replies with a nod and a grin, and
    begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor
    says, "Well, tell us what it's like to have sex with
    ghost."

    The student replies, "Ghost?!? From way back there ah
    thought you said "goats."
