RoadRunner Blocking Use of Kazaa
An anonymous reader submits: "You should know that RoadRunner is quietly blocking the use of Kazaa in
certain markets. Particularly in Texas, they have some sort of port scanner
in place which scans for Kazaa activity and then disables use of that port,
rendering the program completely useless. Grokster, iMesh, and all other
FastTrack programs are similarly affected. Yet RoadRunner is not disclosing
the practice in any way. Not only that, I'm troubled by the possibility of
them arbitrarily choosing to block other programs in the future. If this
becomes more widespread, they will have many angry (and former) customers." The poster provides these four links to forum postings with more information: one;

Base 2 yields only ARTIFICIAL Intelligence
Migor is angry. Migor has identified a creature worse then the common household troll.
Migor calles them retarded mods. They are evil. They mod down insightful and informitive comments because they don't understand them, or worse, are too stupid to reconize the humor when a joke is made.
Migor is here to help. Migor will keep posting to waste those mod's points so real mods can mod up the good comments. If the retarded mods spend their time modding down the comments of Migor, they can not use their points modding down relevent comments.
And then, upon the day of conclusion, Migor shall eat the soul of the retarded mods. He will have a great feast, and will BBQ the souls of the retarded mods in his mighty spaceship. There will be plastic forks and spoons. There will be pasta salad. Cake will also be served.
I am NOT Migor, only a vessel through which Migor speaks.
The Internet is generally stupid
