Study Reveals How ISPs Responded to SiteFinder

penciling_in writes "During the 2+ weeks for which Site Finder was operational, a number of ISPs took steps to disable the service. A study just released reveals the details and analysis, including specific networks disabling Site Finder during its operational period. For example, the study reports China blocked the traffic at its backbone, and Taiwan's Chunghwa Telecom and Korea's DACOM also disabled the service. US ISPs have been slower to act, but US ISP Adelphia disabled the service September 20-22 before re-enabling it on September 23." That link is a summary; or cut straight to the study itself.

    My karma is getting terrible lately, and I don't understand why. It seems even my most challenging and witty comments get modded down.

    So God, if you're up there, please let me have FP. It's the only thing I have left. PLEASE!

  2. Sad News Cruz Bustamonde dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio, the incompetent Lt Gov of California Cruz Bustamonde 54 was found dead in his East LA home. The cause of death was from a ruptured rectum from a greased up YODA doll. Even if you did not admire his work, their is no denying his contributions to the Mexican KKK. Truly a Chicano icon!
