They pay him for the same reson ZDnet pays the assholes that write for them. They piss people off, the people write comments,come back to see what crap he wrote this week,..etc. This is all good for VA/Andover because they make money off the banner hits that all the pissed off people make.

Its on Freshmeat. And who the hell said anything about Linux?!? Why PAY for net access when he could get it for FREE for a month? And ive never seen a ISP with more POP's then AOL. Whe cares of they are evil, he is just going to cancle the account before he has to pay them one dime anyways.
If you are running Win32 or MacOS I think AOL is the best way to go. You can get a month for free (sometimes they offer you another month when you go to cancle the acct) and they have POP almost in every calling area. The client software stores/looks up the phone numbers for any calling area so you don't even have to worry about that. And as for the address problem, Just put a fake one in. Hell all you need to give them is your CC# and the phone # of the place you are making the account from. It will save you alot of junk snailmail. And if you really feel bad about putting a fake addy in then put you UK one in.
AOL is free for one month, and when you go to cancle it they will offer you another month for free!. He doesnt need to put a real address (hell i never do). All that has to be real is his CC # And the phone number he is making the account from. If he runs windows its the best way to go.
