Who would want to attack President Bush’s web site georgewbush.com? Apparently all they did was set up a block to refuse to serve content to non-US domains.

The aftermath of hurricanes in Florida corresponds to drops in volume of spam. Sounds like there might be lots of spammers down there. Maybe THAT is why the hurricanes went for Florida? All the hot air coming out of the place acted like a magnet. Maybe we should just cut the state off from the…

Online Gaming is addictive. That anyone can find this revelationary strikes me as amazing. EverQuest is almost or over 5 years old! We knew when it came out that it was addictive.
