So how long until I can remove the block on a pair of CNLink's /20 networks from my firewall?
/20's.
My web server was getting massively log spammed from them (even though I don't publish my web stats). The first time round I actually bothered to report the attacks to their abuse address but naturally got no response at all.

I'm always amused by comments like this on Slashdot. Come on--no government, however "free" the country is, is going to look kindly upon people who advocate overthrowing it.

It is both wrong an very dangerous to think our rights come to us as gifts from our governments.

And this is bad... how?
You have removed choices for me and for everyone else.
Perhaps you would like me to pick out your clothes for tomorrow. Better yet, I'll decide what kind of car you drive (if I decide you get to drive a car at all) and then I'll figure out if you are worthy of...?
We each make choices everyday. Whether they *seem* like small or large decisions, would you like someone else to make those decisions for you?
There are two kinds of people in the world: those with loaded guns, and those who dig.
