UK ISPs threaten action over spamming tools
Talkback MCI/UUNet have for too long thumbed their noses at the internet community, not only by hosting Send-Safe, but by enriching themselves at the community's expense by ignoring complaints of abuse and harbouring any spammer who writes a cheque.

Spamming tool goes on the run
Talkback Why is it that all these ISPs talk big about how they're going to work together to help stop spam but they take months and months, if they take action at all, to refuse service to a known spam scumbag like Send-Safe?

Microsoft fixes faulty IE patch
Talkback I also send tham an email telling them why I will avoid them like the plague. There are too many alternatives to MSIE that are safe and secure. Anyone still using MSIE is still taking a risk, not knowing what else will pop up.

Is your anti-virus program still working?
Talkback If they can do that why can't they send out notifications of the problem? I'm sure it must have affected people who haven't even noticed - set & forget non-technical users who rely on products like Zone Alarm to keep them safe.

IE is broken: can you fix it?

RE: OpenOffice to the Rescue
Blog Comment If you buy MS Office, create a document and send it to someone, and they can't open it, or it is corrupt, or whatever else goes wrong, you can just say "too bad, it was corrupted in transmission, or it was the will of God, or whatever".
