On The Trail Of Super-Zonda
Dynamoo writes "BBC Radio 4 has been on the trail of the notorious Super-Zonda spammers and crackers, according to this article. Super-Zonda's trick is to find insecure hosts and pressgang them into webservers for mail order brides, viagra and other spam favorites. In this case a server is traced back to a hacked machine at a major international airline.
The BBC investigate some of the people allegedly behind the spam in an investigation starting on the Spamhaus houseboat in London and ending in the Netherlands via Moscow. The BBC point the finger at Martijn Bevelander of MegaProvider as being not the innocent party he seems. The BBC provide some evidence to back this up, and are not known for rash accusations."

I'll just ramble for a couple seconds here.
How's everyone doing?
Good?
I hope good.
Wait, no I don't.

I think you hit on what sucks about stupid people.

Yeah, it's a real bummer when you get caught bulldozing down the homes of women and children without any prior notice whilst the occupants are in there sleeping.
Israel's guilty of just as many human rights violations as Saddam Hussein's regime was in Iraq. But whereas Hussein used chemical weapons supplied by the US and others to kill Kurds, Israel uses to tanks, planes and gunships supplied by the US to kill Palistineans. Big difference.
This isn't flamebait, this is fact. But, as ever, some people with mod points will mod this down as it doesn't fit in with their personal cosy, rose-tinted view of the world.

It most certainly IS flamebait. "Fact", my ass. That's an absurd distortion of the truth and you know it. Has Israel ever butchered Palestinians and buried them, by the thousands, in mass graves? Of course not.
Are they culpable in a great deal of violence and destruction resulting from their invasion, settlement and crackdowns in Palestinian land? Certainly so. But to equate them with Saddam's brutal regime is a perversion of truth, to say the least.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with the spurious case the US mounted in order to trump up an excuse to remove Saddam... but Israel has not, and will never, gas Palestinian dissenters en masse. Really, open your eyes...
A Kurdish child gassed dead by Hussein's troops is no more dead, no more tragic or no more sickening than a Palestinian child bombed dead by Israeli forces. One life isn't more valuable than another.
The dead are dead. Arguing over how they were murdered is just petty semantics.

Whatever the merits of either side of the Palestian-Isreali conflict, I find it contemptible how the first line of defence to any criticisms of Isreali policy and action is met with "You Nazi". *Even* if the person doing the criticism is a flag-waving left-wing Communist vegetarian hippy who believes in "Make love not war", you criticise Israel and suddenly you are a neo-Nazi. This is especially ironic considering a good deal of the criticism of Israel, the new "Nazis" to use the popular throwback from Israel's defenders are often left-wing liberals while many right-wing Christian groups back Israel.
This is also bad for Jews as well. The more the word "Nazi" is used in ridiculous circumstances the more the "evilness" associated with the word "Nazi" decreases in the popular imagination.
"That right-wing politician is a Nazi!"
So why shouldn't I vote for him again?
Because he's a Nazi!
So, what's so bad about that? Isn't a Nazi just someone who opposes the Israeli occupation of Palestine?
But! He wants to kill Jews!
Oh, why didn't you say that before?
But I did! I said he was a Nazi!
But you called my teenage vegetarian Socialist "Make love not war" daughter a Nazi too the other day and I know she doesn't want to kill Jews. I don't see what's so bad about being a Nazi. It's just teenage rebellion you know. You know how we were into punk when we were young, being a Nazi is just a fad. She'll get over it in a few years. Oh let's watch this WWII movie. Oh some nice Nazis! I like their uniforms. They're so cute.
