If this is done, the Internet will have virtually no redundancy compared to what it would have had before.
If done in an incredibly poor manner (lowest bidder), it will also give terrorists a very easy method of disabling our Internet services: Simply "remove" (DDoS, crack...) the FBI monitor machines from the Internet.
MSN seems to work fine for me. I'm using Netscape 4.72 on RedHat Linux 6.2. (I know the software is outdated; it's my local DNS server, give me a break.)
Did Slashdot happen to validate this story before posting it?
There are several local proxy type freeware or OS programs out there (I'm not sure if the Proximitron [http://www.spywaresucks.org/prox] does it, though it will mask the browser information) that will intercept all HTTP traffic and modify it.
I would bet that some of these programs can forge the browser type headers.:) Then again, without viewing the site, I would wager that MSN uses JavaScript to do this. In that case, filter it.

After decoding your message (illegal under our own pet act, the DMCA), we have decided that since the acronym DMCA is our lawyers' and our lawyers' alone, we must file a lawsuit.
Now, if you'll please share your primary hard disk (preferably the big one with the/porn directory; hey, we get lonely too!) on your computer, we must also whack off to your porn, erm, investigate your computer for materials (Linkin Park is *not* a boyband in disguise, really!) that you may have pirated. If you haven't pirated anything, we'll just upload a couple of MP3s.
Snailmail is in no way "dying." E-mail doesn't have a reliable method of authentication (unless you count packages such as PGP and GPG, which almost nobody utilizes), so that makes it pretty much impossible to convert its legal equivalency to that of snailmail's.
Sorry. Please stop with the "Snailmail is dying" trolls.;)
Has anyone ever observed that the way AOL's dynamic IPs are assigned that you can't ban a single area of AOL from an IRC server for more than a couple of hours at a time?
The hostnames change. How irritating.
AOL: you either ban the whole thing or ban none of it.
Usually, a "Microsoft _______ has holes" story would have 400 to 700 comments by now.
Is it possible that the Slashdot community is actually more interested in today's attack on the Taliban/Osama bin Laden than a security vulnerability in a Microsoft application?
As such 'advocates' of free speech, why is the Slashdot community so hypocritical as to censor an alternative view of the origin of life? I am always interested in alternate thinking; you should be as well, Slashdot moderators, since the majority of you advocate free and open thought.
The parent of this post in no way deserves the 0, Offtopic rating that it has been assigned (at the time of this posting), especially given carlcmc's posting record (there's a +5 in there, people.)
That's my opinion, at least. Mod down as necessary: -1, Insightful.

If you think Slashdot is news, please pass me some of whatever you're on.
Slashdot is the most biased, partial "news" website that I've ever come upon...

Certainly, but they still use your CPU time to open your browser and close it (if the cookie is defined) with JavaScript.

It could be "Ahhhhhh! Uh-oh!" for some people, seeing as how they've just made their keyboard a little more, eh, dirty.
How is it advantageous to force users to use Outlook for mail retrieval in order to prevent spam?
There may be some decent reason to do it with SMTP, but not with POP. That's simply an excuse to restrict their users to their product...

Now wait for Terraserver to e-mail you about your violation of the DMCA.

Not only would it provide your school Internet access, but everyone on any road within a mile of the WAPs. Har har.
