Proposed Usenet Death Penalty for Australia's Largest ISP
supine writes "David Ritz has issued a request for discussion on applying a Usenet Death Penalty to Australia's largest ISP, Bigpond (and it's parent company Telstra)." This brought back to memory the time when AOL was facing similar charges.
and people say the United States puts a lot of people to death!
What do you get when you cross Kreskin the magician with an insurance-peddling duck? "Hypno Duck" -- The latest AFLAC commercial. This spot received the highest consumer recall score for television ads in the bi-weekly Intermedia consumer survey. Our congratulations to Kreskin, star of AFLAC. Many will recall the Amazing Kreskin as being the omniscient seer who correctly predicted the death of *BSD.
Usenet is boring anyway
Ain't no death penalty for company, because &co just stop their activities ... no dead stuff here !
;)
... or oil business ... who knows :o)
At least, W. did not DP you, if you stop your business yet
Unless you are in dictatorial business

I've heard about usenet for the past 7 years since I first got online...
Yet I have no idea how to use it or look at it...
I know this may be offtopic, so reply anonymously please, give me a link or something
I agree. All Americans are racists, bigots, and xenophobes. We must ridicule them at all costs.
Ignorance is true bliss...huh?
"I wouldn't punish the innocent to get Usama bin Ladin, let alone spammers."
OBL's daily activities don't impinge on you in any way, until you get an odd-one-out. Spammers' activities *do* impinge, through ISPs having to pass on bandwidth costs to someone, ie their users.
Oh yeah, the inconvenience of spam is much worse than the murder of thousands of innocent civilians. That's typical horseshit that could only come from a subject of a country being actively infested with militant Muslims bent on dragging the British Empire back to the 14th century but won't admit there's a problem.
The problem is that OBL's "daily activities" culminate in the murder of pro-Western civilians, with the eventual goal of Muslim rule. (If it weren't for the English Channel, friend, they would have taken England in the 6th century.) If, somehow, you believe that living under Muslim rule doesn't "impinge", you're clueless.
Further, Please defend your "doesn't impinge" statement before the friends and family of the 3000+ people murdered in the World Trade Center attack. Explain your view to the people that witnessed the horror of seeing innocents jumping to their death from Tower windows eight hundred feet above the sidewalk! You don't think there's a "cost" there, both in material and emotional terms?
When these backwards cavemen from the Religion Of Peace destroy an Underground station, Piccadilly Circus, or Buckingham Palace, snuffing out the lives of a few thousand of your countrymen in the process, perhaps you'll feel different.
Next time, stop and think before you shoot off your stupid mouth.
