Either get another ISP or a contract with your current one that
allows you to run servers.

Many ISPs started blocking port 80 to their customer's sites on
cable broadband connections in response to the ``Code Red'' and
``Nimda'' worms a couple of years ago.

Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't
they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning
anything?  If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five
years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.
