Spamhaus Under Fire
Spamhaus, the largest public RBL, has been sued by an organization that Spamhaus has deemed to be a spammer. Due to jurisdiction questions and questionable legal strategy, Spamhaus is looking at a $11.7 million default judgment levied against them. Many experts worry the loss of Spamhaus will result in a massive increase in the amount of spam we all find in our inboxes. This will be a case to watch.

How do I remove Firefox since the site I want requires Internet Explorer?
Woah! Slow down there! Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox can peacefully coexist as long as you set it up correctly. Using Firefox, go to the IE Tab extension page and click install.
