Rainman1976 said, "Maybe someone should have developed a webpage that's focus is to allow users to submit names of BBS's, country it was from, state, area code, etc, so you can add your handle/name to it, and then list out your CURRENT Internet contact info. I'd love to have my old contacts back. Things were rockin' back then;)"
Even if BT were able to block ALL kiddy pr0n sites globally for their users... who cares? Who would know? Who would complain?
Who from BT is going to go exploring for these sites on company time. Their own time? Wouldn't this be a violation of their employee ethics and somehow their AUP? If images were found on their work computer or their personal computer, wouldnb't they become outlaws? How would their customers feel about all of this if they knew some person was surfing for new sites like these and they were paying for it?
The stats also show that women are "the cause" of more fires at the gas pump. Hey, don't blame me... it's just the stats, ma'am!
The Mythbusters took care of this MYTH in episode #2:
Episode 2: Cell Phone Destruction, Silicone Breasts, CD-ROM Shattering In this episode, Jamie and Adam test several explosive theories. Can chatting on a cell phone while pumping gas cause the pump to blow up? Our mythbusters put themselves at risk so you don't have to. They also put silicone breast implants to the test at high altitude. Will they burst under pressure? Finally, we'll learn once and for all if high-speed CD-ROM players can really shatter a compact disc.
"He is also fed up with being called a Benedict Arnold CEO (perhaps he'd prefer Unemployed Computer Scientist). Barrett pegs K-12 math and science education as the biggest threat to U.S. employment, but when pressed about U.S. kids who do well in both, attend excellent universities, but have no guarantees of good jobs when they graduate, Barrett remarks 'I don't have a solution to that one.'"
So you'd rather become part of our destruction and send jobs overseas, pick on our poor education system and insist on NOT being called names when you could be directing your company's MONEY AND ENERGY to initiating school programs (even if just in your area) to help mold the type of employee you'd want to wrk at Intel.
People like you make me sick, Mr. Benedict Arnold CEO, you'd rather take the easy way out than try to use your brain and attempt to fix things.... even if a little bit.
Take your mellion dollar Golden Parachute and move along now.
... that another company is going to force feed me it's propaganda... like a commercial on TV. I am deeply bothered by this.
What can we, the little people (thanks Rev. Horton Heat - That's Showbiz) do to avoid this? Instead of their $itefinder coming up, I'd rather see a close match, or at very least a random site. I'd rather see nothing like I do now.

Not only is this bad for American companies to do to the American workforce, these people on the other end have no more expretise, and sometimes less.
I spent an hour on the phone yesterday attempting to explain to them my problem with their company's web site. I asked to speak with this person's supervisor and I was put on hold for over 20 minutes and the same person came back attempting to disguise their voice.
I had to start laughing at them. Then I wrote a nice long scathing letter to General Electric on how they treat their customers.
A friend from the UK (The Mayjah) came up with VirginTracker (guess the parody) to track the last virgin...
Booble would have been a huge money make for Google... maybe that is why they are sking this company to cease... should just buy them out and seek adult advertisers.
We've had Vonage for a few months now and I must say overall the service has been excellent. There are issues with bandwidth, but that can be traced to Comcast. Every now and again the service will just drop... but I refer back to the last sentence.
Right now, we are in Sunny (mostly COLD) FL... our service is registered in MN. Simply mooching off of my hosts Comcast Cable and the only interruption of service was the flight down (and the damned layover).
When sitting in Atlanta, I was able to check my Vonage Voicemail.
Billing is VERY simple... direct to our credit card where we are earning points.
Overall, we are very impressed. We ARE suggesting that my parents use it (they are not that tech inclined) as they will save a ton of money in long distance... basically a free call to us... calls are free from one Vonage user to another.

I've moved all domains I have to another registar and refuse to have anything to do with them.
They are coming into my life and inturrupting my surfinng, I really don't want to see Verisign's little "I am all over the web and you an not do anything about it" service.
We are s'posed to care how the Micro$oft cartel spends their money? I just can't get into a caring mode about this... unless you left the fact out that they are going to stay in the cars slated for crash testing.

Oh and Fuck You Steve Ballmer for calling me a thief. Your accusation is slanderous and I take offense to it.
Your are a profuse sweating pig... go back to kissing ass to any developers you have left.
Wireless like mine. I was unsure at first, but it worked famously.
Defcon.
Someone has, and it's fairly decent...

Lose contact with your old BBS buddies during the internet revolution?
On this website, you can:
If they know where these sites are... can't they be shut down?
Even if BT were able to block ALL kiddy pr0n sites globally for their users... who cares? Who would know? Who would complain?
Who from BT is going to go exploring for these sites on company time. Their own time? Wouldn't this be a violation of their employee ethics and somehow their AUP? If images were found on their work computer or their personal computer, wouldnb't they become outlaws? How would their customers feel about all of this if they knew some person was surfing for new sites like these and they were paying for it?
Seems an unlikely proposition and very political.
This quote seems fitting about now:

Absolutely a better model to copy from anyway.
