coondoggie writes "The Federal Trade Commission today got a judge to effectively kill off the Internet service provider 3FN, which the agency said specialized in spam, porn, botnets, phishing, and all manner of malicious web content. The ISP's computer servers and other assets have been seized and will be sold by a court and the operation has been ordered give back $1.08 million to the FTC."
My heart overflows for this poor oppressed Botnet operator.

Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
I can't think of anything else that would effect the geek community less than banning sex.

This was one of those comments that made me laugh, then immediately made me cry.
If libertarians are so opposed to effective government, why don't they all move to Somalia?
RTFA--they were hosting child pornography sites. That's a whole different animal from the usual porn.
Which animal is in your usual porn?
Because it gets the religious types in a frenzy, and all those anonymous letters and leaflet campaigns carry a lot of weight around the FTC.
Of course. You know that 1 complaint = 1 billion people, right?
