The Thread suggests that this will be a problem for VoIP users only; but it seems to me that the overseas callcenters will call whoever they want regardless of what type of carrier the call-recepient uses. I don't think it is less expensive for them to call another VoIP line than it is for them to call a land-line or cell phone, but maybe I'm wrong.
Another thing... Is there a way that VoIP numbers are indexed or listed? Is there such thing as a listed or unlisted VoIP line?
Many slashdoters may think this is a joke, but it is a serious problem for some users. I had a friend at college who's hand would sweat so profusely that he had to put a rag over his mouse to keep it from shorting out. No joke!

Yeah, where can we find the list? I wonder if anyone from my school's IP range will be on there.

Could someone post the url for the blogger gmail "YES" hyperlink? Maybe a non-selectee would be able to follow the link without being authenticated.
Hook us up Google!
Anyone have a link to the actual scan? There must have been some good stuff on there!
Get an Archos and load it with the open-source firmware Rockbox (http://rockbox.haxx.se/). It's the only way to go.
