Yes, yes they are. And they don't give a damn either.
PUBPAT News > PUBPAT Argues Against Patenting of Medical Facts
One must hope, for the sake of the immortal souls of the husband, the lawyer, the judge, and the legions who supported them, that she really has been brain-dead for the last 15 years.
Because if not, this is anything but a peaceful death.
And if that's the way it's going down, some people are going to be uncomfortable for a very long time.
And see this ...
My question is, which is the murderer and which is the abettor, because this is murder. But is Michael Schiavo the murderer or is it Judge Greer? Greer could have prevented the homicide-in-progress of Terry Schiavo by simply following the laws in place, by not doing so he has insured that a homicide will occur, and the medical examiner should so rule. Systematic, intentional deprivation of nourishment resulting in death is homicide, if the ME rules "death by natural causes" he should be fired immediately.
Schiavo has spent years depriving his wife of the minimal care that would normally be provided to a person in her condition, has interceded to insure that care would not be provided nor tests that would settle with authority what her condition actually is. He has a direct financial interest in her death, he is the only witness to her supposed desire not to be kept alive through extraordinary means (and the only witness to the mishap that left her in this condition). He could have walked away at any point and left her care to her parents who are apparently willing to maintain care as long as they are able. That he did not do so suggests that his first interest is to see to it that his wife dies without any chance she might recover, and perhaps have something to say about that day when she had her accident?
And you may as well look at this, too. What exactly is going on here?
Okay, the most recent (and very prolific) referrer spammer is ws-op dot com (hundreds of hits today). Naturally, ws-op is registered with moniker, the spammer's favorite registrar. Naturally, it's a pinappleproxy script, so spampop kills it nicely. Which means, of course, that it is the child of the Bulgarian spammers.
The whois at moniker shows the usual bogus data:

Registered to Billy. Billy is so cool, so hip, he doesn't need a last name, which obviously doesn't bother the moniker folks in the least, since most of the Bulgarian spam sites have similar bogus registrations. Billy lives in uptown Manhattan, nice neighborhood. His admin/technical contact is one Miracle Lamont, of Vanmeter, Minnesota. Must also be an exclusive neighborhood, it isn't on any maps.
The name servers are interesting, too - ns0.zindagi.us and ns1.zindagi.us, which resolve to 62.1.3.1, as you can see. That is an IP block belonging to internet.gr, Athens, Greece. How did a Greek system get a '.us' tag?
zindagi was created by GoDaddy, and transferred to (who else) moniker. I suspect that's because GoDaddy actually checks the registration provided. Zindagi belongs to Kiya Kyler of Shelby, New Hampshire 87207. Also a very exclusive neighborhood, that zip isn't assigned.
For crying out loud, moniker, what the fuck are you doing here? Is the 18.99 each you get from these scum worth the pollution of the internet you are enabling? In my book, moniker is just as worthless as the spammers who flock to their registration service. Moniker is the crack house/whore house on the street, got a buck? We'll fix you up.
Bastards.
SCO Group delays another filing - Computer Business Review
Apparently their books stink so much they can't get a statement signed by the auditors.
Hardly surprising.
Spam continues unabated, mostly today from buy-2005 dot com, which is registered by moniker a shameless trashy spamhouse registrar, you should be ashamed you worthless parasites, where was I? Oh yes. That domain only exists in the fevered mind of the spammer and the mooney-grubbing accounts of its spam registrar, did I mention that it is moniker? It has no DNS entry. I'm sure it's banned by Google by now, they usually ban domains within a few hours of them showing up in referrer spams.
So what's the point, parasite? Nobody sees your crap on my site except me, no readers, no search engines, nobody. So why do you keep this crap up? I don't want to play p oker, I don't want any phony home loans, my equipment works just fine without any drugs. Just stop it, ok? No, I didn't think so.
I have written a script which displays my logfile. Today I wrote a new one to throw out all the lines that contain "403", the http return code for access forbidden, which is how I handle referrer spam. That way I can more easily see who is really reading my page, instead of just spamming it. I can also see new spams that may get by my traps.
That's how I determined that 80% of page requests to my site are spam.
People, this is getting ridiculous. Somebody needs to kill a couple of these guys so the word will get out.
Okay, somebody from Covad likes to drop by every couple of days and download the same archived files each time. Now this doesn't make sense, and is annoying.
But he, whoever he is, isn't going to see this entry because I just banned his ass.
A spam explosion today, from at least a dozen new domains. They are all being handled by Cindy's spampop script, so we know who's behind it, don't we?
Seriously, what is the point of all this shit? Google is banning these bastards as fast as they appear, so all their work can't be doing anyone much benefit. I guess when you are from a country that uses cow flops for currency, any little cash that comes your way looks good. It's sort of a third world shithole kind of deal.
doobu dot com has returned, as if from the dead. Although, I guess spammers never die, they just need to be killed.
Get out of my logs, you bastard.
The strange and seemingly pointless referrer spamming of 12.163.72.13 has stopped and has been replaced by poker spamming for rohkalby dot com. They are registered with the spammer registar, moniker, of course, and are being rejected by my htaccess in such a way as to indicate that they are coming from the Bulgarians.
When is this crap going to stop?
Utah came within a whisker of being the first state to return to sanity and retake control of their education system away from the federal government and the inane, evil No Child Left Behind act. In fact, the only reason they stopped was to let President Bush know they were prepared to pass the act, which would give state standards precedence over those of the NCLB legislation.
I strongly suggest to Utah that they go ahead and pass the bill. The idiotic NCLB has done enough damage to the U.S. education system in the short time it has been in existence, and needs to be repealed. This New York Times article gives some background on the opposition to NCLB. Even Texas has resisted parts of the law, and Texas was the model for it. That should tell you just how bad it really is.
The current spam run is for the benefit of 12.163.72.13, which doesn't seem to be online. So I am not sure what that is about.
I also had a couple of trackback spams for the benefit of an online poker site, sorry boys, they got stuck in the honeypot and went nowhere.
U.S. Rejects Italy Journalist's Claims
It is extremely regretable that U.S. forces fired on a car speeding down one of the most dangerous roads in Iraq towards their position, refusing to stop, apparently doing everything they could to emulate a suicide bomber. But when this nutbag journo claims they were deliberately targeted "because the United States opposes Italy's policy of negotiating with kidnappers", she's just crossed the line.
Doesn't this idiot realize they could have killed all of them and made it look like an IED attack by insurgents?
I think if U.S. forces had "deliberately" targeted that vehicle, there wouldn't be enough pieces left to identify the make of the car.
Vietnam Nurse Infected with Bird Flu - Doctor
Well, it will. Influenza virii always mutate towards human pathogenicity, so it's coming. The only questions are, will it retain its lethality and what are we doing about it?
Highprofitclub is gone but not lamented, replaced by doobu dot com. The king is dead, long live the king. Until next week, when another moniker-registered spamdomain starts pestering the blog world.
I also got a run of trackback and comment spams today, even though I have pointed both mt-comment and mt-tb to a honeypot script. So, hello, 216.195.44.106, thanks for stopping by. And also hello to you, 205.234.132.50, glad to see you visit. And you too, 217.66.3.82, please stay awhile, look around (I know you will). But, you, 194.222.14.129, if you need to clean up before you sit down, the washroom is in the back.
And of course all your friends are welcome, too. Enjoy.

Sort of a spammer's heaven, I guess.
I like that 1st one: "Even More Enhanced Domain Protection and Account Security". I guess the spammers are not pleased at Ann Elisabeth's forensic research on them, assuming that means what I think it does, stealthed domains.
I use a stealthed domain for this site, in case you looked.
If anyone is wondering about that "premier spam registrar on the internet", all the referrer spams I have received (nutzu, highprofitclub, learnhowtoplay, ronnieazza, musicbox1, isacommie, etc, etc) are registered through, guess who, moniker. So that makes them the top spam registrar from where I stand.
Dallas news is reporting that one of the cadavers found in a repossessed van is that of a barber who died in 2000 at age 93.
The thing is, his family was given ashes supposed to be him, which they buried in the family plot next to the grave of his wife.
So my question is, are all crematoria corrupt scams?
SCO is finally about to really, really die, and it looks like they've made it impossible for the SEC to ignore all their manipulations any longer.
They screwed up their golden parachute, I guess when you're running a stock scam it's hard to keep all the threads separate. But the auditors caught it and wouldn't sign off on the 10K, causing NASDAQ to threaten delisting, in turn causing the SEC to have to take notice of what's been going on.
Hey, Darl, Martha looks pretty good after her "vacation", maybe you can get the same suite.
And on Feb. 9, U.S. District Court Judge Dale A. Kimball scolded SCO for failing to produce any evidence proving IBM infringed its copyrights. A week later, Nasdaq warned SCO that it could be delisted for failing to file its annual financial statement.
SCO says it missed the filing deadline over issues relating to the accounting of its common stock and equity compensation plan. As a result of adjustments to its accounting, SCO will be restating its earnings for the first three quarters of 2004, BusinessWeek has learned. While the restatements won't change its net loss or cash balance for that year, they are likely to reduce its cash position by $500,000 or more in fiscal year 2005, says an insider.
And they're eating the seed corn:
As a result, SCO has been forced to cut staff. Last year, it laid off about 100 employees, a third of its workforce. With each layoff, analysts say its ability to produce and sell software is diminished. "This is a sinking boat," says Decatur Jones's Dion Cornett, the only analyst on Wall Street tracking SCO. McBride says that while his staff is small in numbers, it's high on engineering expertise.
Could not happen to a more deserving bunch of guys. Die, you scumbag.
That's what I get when I try to reach the New York Press page today, after it reportedly published an article on the '52 funniest things about the upcoming death of the pope' (Drudgereport)
Update: it's back, with the funny dead pope article. I should think up the 52 funniest things about Matt Taibbi being mugged and shot through the spine.
52. He would make a great 3rd base for a sandlot baseball game.
51. He could be a scumbag - in a scumbag.
50. You could throw him off a bridge and make bets on how long he floated.
49. Telling him he pissed his pants, and then yelling "Made you look!"
(to be continued)
Best line I've seen today, talking about the new DNC chair:
From comments to
democracy guy: Howard Dean Should Resign
What the heck is this:
61.35.238.77 - - [03/Mar/2005:02:20:00 -0500] "GET /homeContain/jsp/kor/common/error2_j_k.jsp HTTP/1.0" 403 ?
Am I mistaken or is this an attempted script exploit while referrer spamming?
The break was short-lived and highprofitclub is back spamming my logs, almost continously since midnight. A few are still getting 403s but the majority are being redirected to ... highprofitclub. So he is spamming himself.
vnunet.com Interview: SCO chief Darl McBride
See Darl shoot off his mouth. See Darl lie, and lie, and lie. Fast forward three years - see the trial judge tell SCO "Viewed against the backdrop of SCO's plethora of public statements concerning IBM's and others' infringement of SCO's purported copyrights to the UNIX software, it is astonishing that SCO has not offered any competent evidence to create a disputed fact regarding whether IBM has infringed SCO's alleged copyrights through IBM's Linux activities." See NASDAQ give SCO notice of delisting.
It must have seemed so simple back in 03 - lie through your teeth and sue a big rich company and they'll throw some money your way to get rid of the nuisance, and also leave the door open via precedent to try it on some other sucker. A nice shakedown train that Darl and hs co-conspirators could ride into the sunset. After all, the company itself was worthless - nobody was buying much of their antique UNIX system anymore, and they really needed some way to raise some money for themselves. So their extortion scheme seemed like a no-brainer.
Unfortunately, they were the no-brainers.
See this:
Everything is exactly the same except they have stripped off the copyright notices and pretended it was just Linux code. There could not be a more straightforward case on the Linux side.
And that's actually the Linux kernel, as opposed to other parts?
Correct, the kernel.
Of course, hundreds of Linux programmers have looked at the code and have found none of this - and SCO's (incompetent) legal team have yet to show even one line in court that was copied, even when compelled by a discovery order to do so.
Lies, lies, lies. Darl is a lying scumbag. I just hope the Justice Department is taking notes.
After several days of near constant pounding by highprofitsclub spam, I altered my htaccess to redirect all requests back to the referrer.
Maybe it's just coincidence, in fact I'm sure it is, but the spam run ceased about an hour later, and no more visits from this particular pest since.
Now we're waiting for the next incarnation to show up.
Yes, my flinger script works. The spammer is now getting a 302 (target moved) code instead of a 403 when he accesses. So his spam is going back to his own page. Got to love that.
I still get the log entries but knowing that he is pestering himself is worth the cost.
The one thing I don't know is, is he getting my url as the referrer on the redirects? If so, I'm not sure if I mind that or not.
Update: Okay, it doesn't put a referrer in as far as I can tell.
I am experimanting with my htaccess to see if, when it detects a spammer, it can redirect the spammer to his own site by redirecting to the referrer.
I have seen several php scripts that do this, and I use redirects based on remote address in my site, so it should work. Having the proxy abuser hammer his own site with referrer spam is a neat idea, in any case.
All my trackback spams (25 so far) came from one IP address: 216.195.44.106. There seems to be only one domain hosted at that address. Here is the info on that domain:

Ha, yellow monkeys, indeed.
After a quiet week, I find my mt-tb honeypot brimming full of Yellow Monkeys this morning. I am seriously tired of these parasites trying to ride my site to fame and money (oh and also several hundred or thousand other sites too) but I am at least insuring that their crap doesn't make it to public (i.e. googlable) pages.
Can't you guys go back to prostituting your wives and daughters, like you used to do for money? Thanks loads.
