  1. Don't expect anything to change on Spammer Bows to Lawsuit · · Score: 1
    unless Verizon is your internet provider. According to Computer World only the domain names owned by Verizon, including verizon.net, verizon, and vzw.com are affected. Even domains hosted by Verizon can still be spammed by Ralsky.

    And as reported by the South China Morning Post: Mr Ralsky has said he has lists of 150 million e-mail addresses as a part of his business, so the Verizon case would likely make only a small dent in it.

  2. Who need a plot... on Star Trek: Pick A Plot · · Score: 5, Funny

    when you have such great acting?

  3. I have met the problem on Cradle to Cradle · · Score: 1

    and as usual it is me.

  4. Bad Bones on Discovering Columbus · · Score: 1

    Finally a legitimate use for illegitimate bones?

  5. Can't be done on ICANN to Decide Fate of Direct Elections · · Score: 1
    They are looking for people who are not tied down to one particular interest.

    Everyone who is elected/appointed will be tied to the same interest - GREED. Either they will have been bought by their "sponsor" or they will be on power trips.

    Anyone who is not looking to get on ICANN for their own self interests will be disqualified because of that very reason. We have already seen that if you are elected to the board by the users at large by running on a platform of equality for all you are automatically considered a crank and a problem.

  6. Re:switzerland is not the US on Swiss ISPs Must Archive E-mail For 6 Months · · Score: 1

    So do their traffic light come with timers?

  7. Anonymous purchaser??? on Tattered Cover v. Thornton Reversed · · Score: 1
    Throughout the judgment the purchaser was referred to as Suspect A as he was not a party to the case, but in a footnote he is listed as: "[Suspect A] who lists a current address as [I removed this part], Arvada, Colorado, 80002". With his current address couldn't anyone who wanted to find out who Suspect A is?

    Do you think the court missed this or do they really not care about his anonymity?

  8. Open access on CIPA Trial Comes to a Close · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Our local library put the internet terminals in the middle of the library where anyone could see what you were looking at. Should this be considered a violation of free speech because even a minority of the local populace could intimidate you into not visiting sites you would otherwise want to. Should the library be forced to provide rooms for internet access where you could browse in private?

  9. And now for something completely different on CA Appeals Court Upholds Spam Law · · Score: 1
    I love it, Python, Monty that is, got mentioned in the Appellant decision.

    FN 5. "Use of the term 'spam' as Internet jargon for this seemingly ubiquitous junk e-mail arose out of a skit by the British comedy troupe Monty Python, in which a waitress can offer a patron no single menu item that does not include spam . . . . [Citations.] Hormel Food Corporation, which debuted its Spam(R) luncheon meat in 1937, has dropped any defensiveness about this use of the term and now celebrates its product with a website . . . . [Citations.]" (Heckel, supra, 24 P.3d at p. 406, fn. 1.)

  10. What computers does this affect? on Bush Lightens Supercomputer Export Restrictions · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have a list MTOP ratings for different computers? Just what computers are now exportable?

  11. My idea of a remote car starter on Is Hacking Cars a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 1
    In order to install a car starter, you have to actually put a spare key to the vehicle *in* the add-on module to let the car starter do it's thing. Yeah, that makes me more comfortable, leaving a key installed in the remote car starter.

    When I'm ready to leave the apartment I just open the window toss my keys to the nearest passing pedestrian and ask them to start my car. By the time I get down the engine is nice and warm.
