Are you sure? My ISP, Earthlink, uses the Time Warner cable system here. |

idk about you, but that was also in my high school physics book The Atom bomb is actually fairly simple to make. It's acquiring all the parts that is the real challenge. Anyone have any friends in one of the old Russian states? And really jk. |

Are you sure? My ISP, Earthlink, uses the Time Warner cable system here. It's been dead for awhile. Comcast has become the latest ISP to shut down access to Usenet newsgroups as part of a voluntary agreement to try and fight child porn online. Users of the ISP giant found themselves unable to access Comcast's newsgroups over the weekend, and the company has posted a notice on its web site saying that its newsgroup service has been discontinued. Comcast, along with 17 other cable providers across the US, first announced that it would no longer offer Usenet access to subscribers in July of this year. The voluntary measures were part of an agreement among the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA), the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), and the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) in order to take part in an "industry-wide attack on child pornography." The cable providers that made the pact cover 87 percent of US homes, so this is no small agreement—everyone from Comcast to Time Warner to Cox has signed on. Additionally, Verizon announced that it was going to block access to the entire alt.* hierarchy in June, and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger asked members of the California Internet Service Provider Association to consider blocking newsgroups that contain child porn as well. http://arstechnica.com/old/content/2008/09/lights-out-for-usenet... |

http://arstechnica.com/old/content/2008/09/lights-out-for-usenet... My question, are you sure, was about other options besides Comcast. The companies like Comcast have to provide access to their network to other ISPs. |

You can still get 3rd party access to usenet over Comcast, just not the usenet service that Comcast was providing. |
