Evil Church

Why am I not surprised the DMCA is involved?

Church, DMCA, and too many missing links
By Molly Wood

“How scary is the Church of Scientology? Well, I waffled on whether I should even write the column you’re about to read, because I figured I’d get CNET sued just by bringing up the topic. But I couldn’t stay out of the fray. I find it terrifying that any criticism of Scientology is fast disappearing from the Web, thanks to ill-conceived copyright laws and an apparently rampant fear of being sued. “

Big Brother P2P

New P2P network funded by US government

"A team of government-funded US scientists is building a Peer-2-Peer (P2P) network that they say will solve technical problems with existing P2P networks, such as Gnutella and Kazaa, and might even one day supersede the web."

"The network, dubbed the Infrastructure for Resilient Internet Systems (IRIS), will speed up searches and information transfer over the internet, and aims to foil 'Denial of Service' attacks by hackers – in which a web server is swamped with requests for a page until it crashes."

Anonymizer.com Boosts Privacy Service

"It's more complicated than that, Cottrell says. It is true that subscribers can use the service to keep their employers from seeing what they're doing online at work. And it can help you hide a browser's true history from your significant other. But Anonymizer's mission is to protect your information from the outside world, he says. This is especially true with the explosion of spyware on the Web. "

How Can Ya Have Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Real Email, and Spam without the Spam?!?

Spammers ought to be subjected to Chinese water torture, drawn and quartered, and castrated with a dull spoon. I lump them in with telemarketers, people who rob old ladies, people who steal candy from babies, televangelists, rednecks, and other undesirable members of society. Sure, we all have our faults, but sometimes I can’t help but feel spammers are a waste of oxygen and other valuable resources.

Can ya tell I’m pissed? 😉
