Another slow news week draws to an end, and nothing new to chew on. What to do?
The Register Spotlights Cannibal Harry's Plight
Just to illustrate that no good deed goes unpunished, The Register has picked up on the story of our own Cannibal Harry's woes with Earthlink. Earlier this month CH was whacked with truly massive ISP bills as a result of his hosting the Nvidia/Halo promo movie.
