Actually, I meant that they weren't using hacked machines and such;
basically, that they were "advertising" without directly breaking laws.

OT: I am looking for:

1) An affordable decent dedicated hosting company that will let me run
   and administer OpenBSD (preferably) or debian, please let me know.
   By affordable, I mean < $100/mo.  Bandwidth needs are minimal,
   strictly for non-commercial use - personal email/web server.
   I'd like to find a place within the next two days.

2) Someone who will serve as backup DNS (preferably tinydns) for
   this domain

3) Backup MX (preferably postfix)

If you know anyone who can do these, please email me off-list.

where the wizards stay up late

[Travis H.]

Not sure if this guy is still with us, but wanted to read "Confessions
of a Hearing-Impaired Engineer", if anyone has a copy.

BTW, "Where Wizards Stay up Late" is an entertaining book about the
origins of the ARPAnet.  It even has some of the first (hand-drawn,
natch) network diagrams...

Apparently, nuclear holocaust considerations did not really play much
of a part in ARPAnet's genesis, despite folklore to the contrary.
Withstand a nuclear war was not a design consideration (for most of
the key players); any such properties were side effects of the real
design considerations and decisions.
