The CAN-SPAM Act is directed at the commercial entities that actually create the message, not the service providers who happen to be the medium. There are no penalties defined for the ISP at the source end of the spam. This is a slippery slope, and one the US has done well to avoid so far.
While many have an opinion otherwise, the fact is United States based internet service providers are protected by commoncarrier laws.
While shutting down this ISP may have slowed the spam for today, the two fundamental flaws remain:
the United States does not have and will never have jurisdiction over foreign spammers
the spammers can relay their email through yet another ISP tomorrow.
I thought immediately of VeriSign's Site Finder "service" which came and went around this time of the year in 2003. Perhaps ICANN should send a strong letter to Cablevision and wait for the frivolous suit to ensue.

That made my freakin' day. Just to celebrate, I'm gonna find that thing on vinyl. I don't own a record player anymore, but I still have all my old albums. Are you planning on ripping that album via your scanner?
According to the MUTCD, "A yellow change interval should have a duration of approximately 3 to 6 seconds. The longer intervals should be reserved for use on approaches with higher speeds."
It's a dreadful good thing that I did this on paper first, rather than looking to google. Its calculator is a bit hosed. When you type in "gallon cubic foot" for the query The following result is what I got:
1 US gallon (cubic foot) = 0.000107190925 m^6
So, I guess that google thinks 1 US gallon = 1 cubic foot. (The correct answer is that 7.47 US gallons = 1 cubic foot.)
Over and above that, somehow google has meters in the sixth dimension.
Our recycling center charges for electronics by the pound.
Does anyone remember when recycling companies actually bought the fucking scrap? As I recall, that sort of thing usually served as an incentive to recycle!
Lacking mod-points, but you deserve an up. I loved those games for the 85 and the Tetris port for the TI-86 as well. Jimmy was the one whose programs inspired me to go into assembly programming for the Z-80. Those were the days. Where is my calculator now??

This sounds to me like a RISC-y proposition.

While shutting down this ISP may have slowed the spam for today, the two fundamental flaws remain:
According to the spec, the XOs have a 433 MHz CPU and 256 MB of RAM.
Windows XP requires, a 233 MHz CPU and 64 MB of RAM.
I can just picture Microsoft suggesting that the XO is overpowered for the job, and that they should run Vista instead!

Mod parent up!
This question is one that appears to not yet have been raised in the OpenID security discussion. In these times of phishing attacks on OpenID this should bear heavy on the mind.
For more information, this article is a good jumping off point.

If so, you'll probably need a bigger hard drive.

Ah yes, thanks... I need to RTFM.

I have had one of these similar kits for years now!
There are many many uses I can think of for old machines such as those you describe...
Y2K began on January 1, 19101
Let:
Y2K == "year two-thousand"
19100 == 2000
19101 == 2001.
You mean to tell me that the "year two-thousand" began on January 1, 2001?
I don't think that anyone, even Gates, can factor any prime number.
Usually I wind up spilling my java all over my desktop when I read a particularly inflamatory on Slashdot...

that's your opinion...
if slashdot had bumperstickers, mine would read
"I mod up for w00t! zTetris!"
