SpamCop.net

The evil admin forwarded me a message from a reader just a few minutes ago.

I’m writing to see if you’ve been able to make any headway on the “milkcheesedns.com” spammer that you posted about several times this year. I’ve been receiving a large amount of this junk mail through one of my accounts and it’s practically unbearable. There’s a new domain name every day and my email host isn’t doing anything to improve their filters. The WHOIS records of these offending domains all point back to eNom.com / namecheap.com. I’ve tried contacting eNom, as you did, but my results were the same — their abuse form is broken and they don’t seem very cooperative to begin with. Can you offer any suggestions on how this jerk can be stopped? Besides the registrar and the usual “abuse@___.com” address, which is useless, what else can be done? I appreciate your thoughts.

Fighting spammer is an ongoing battle. We suggest users to create accounts at SpamCop.net and report the spam.

Let’s all move to Kansas City for Google Fiber.

It’s official, Google Fiber is coming……. to Kansas City in Kanas and Missouri.

Plans & Pricing:


Free Internet
$0/mo
$300 construction fee
(one time or $25/mo for 12 mo)
Up to 5Mbps download, 1Mbps upload speed • No data caps • Free service guaranteed for at least 7 years • Includes Network Box
$300 construction fee (one time or 12 monthly payments of $25) + taxes and fees


Gigabit Internet
$70/mo
$300 waived construction fee
Up to one gigabit upload & download • No data caps • 1 year contract • $300 waived construction fee
Network Box included • 1TB Google Drive • $70/mo + taxes & fees


Gigabit + TV
$120/mo

Up to one gigabit upload & download speed • Full channel TV lineup • 2 year contract • No data caps
Nexus 7 tablet • TV Box • Storage Box • Network Box • 1TB Google Drive • $120/mo + taxes and fees

 

It is interesting that Google would be providing TV service. In addition to that, Gigabit + TV plan includes a Nexus 7. I’m guessing that it is used to control the TV Box.

The more people in the same neighborhood (or “Fiberhood” as Google called it) are interested in getting the service, the sooner Google will roll it out.

Now, Google, bring it to Southern California where I live!
