huh? Corporation is quite an entertaining spoof consultancy site – it might fool people even better if it didn’t have a pop up window crowing about how funny it is…

According to news.com , “the new Kazaa allows searches by “playlist,” letting groups of songs be downloaded as a single item. The company touts this as a way for people to share diverse lists of songs by different artists, while warning against trading copyrighted works. In reality, this new option provides a new, simple way to download albums all at once instead of song by song.”

Likewise, “Kazaa’s new software allows people to rate files so that corrupt or false files will quickly collect ratings poor enough to warn people away from downloading them. It also comes with a setting called “filter bogus music and video files” that is set by default as active. ”

Of course most bogus files will be put there by copyright owners who want to frustrate people trying to pirate their music.

UK members of parliament don’t tend to read their email so the web to fax gateway FaxYourMP.com is a real boon in putting constituents in touch with their elected representatives quickly and easily. Unfortunately, MPs don’t always read their faxes either, according to some interesting statistics just published by the site. In fact, the Conservative leader, Iain Duncan Smith joined a rogues gallery of 26 MPs who have not responded to any faxes, including six who have publicly stated they will not respond to any.

I tried to use faxyourmp to contact my own MP, Jeremy Corbyn, some time ago and was among the 75% of faxes sent to him which have remained un-acknowledged…

Overall, 61% of faxes to local were responded to within 14 days (the site’s “cut-off date”).dirty moviesmovies homemade webcamclips porno moviemovie adult free formovie amc theatresmovies kiss girlindian movies sexfuck movies lolita Map

Arts & Letters Daily has bitten the dust. Oh nooo! Won’t somebody please come up with a few £s to pay Tran Huu Dung and Denis Dutton to do their fine work of coming up with good arts and culture links? Meanwhile, people who like A & L can check out Denis Dutton’s Philosophy & Literature site which looks rather similar and Arts Journal.

(Later) I also just discovered that Satirewire has bitten the dust (though at least it was because of creative burnout instead of dotcom flameout).

Register with this site (free) and you get an address which will forward email sent to it to any address you like, but will filter it to remove spam first. I haven’t tried it but it sounds useful. The main drawback is that it also appends a short advertisement at the bottom of every email it filters.

Coming back from holiday I found I had 694 unread emails and this time around I thought it might make a good test of my anti-spam software, mailwasher. Using Spamcop‘s blacklist and rules of its own it only missed 20 of the spam emails I received (2.8%) and it only mistakenly rejected four messages (.5%)
