3. Are you referencing the Financial Times article? |
|
...or a scam e-mail about AOL?

2. If you send mail to/from AOL and don't subscribe your email will be slower |
|
...to arrive than someone that pays for the service.
However, this is aimed at bulk e-mailers: companies that send out large batches of mail as promotional communications, or for organizations (non-profit, political, etc.) that also have periodical batch mailings.
Doesn't seem to say anything about taxing individuals and their e-mails.
And, this looks like it's a charge only for entities that want to send bulk e-mails to AOL subscribers. Not a tax on the AOL members, but those that are sending 100s/1000s of e-mails out to AOL members.
Examples: Candidates sending out e-mail updates. Companies that get your e-mail address and send you promotions. Non-profits that use e-mail for fund drives. Etc.
They didn't go into much detail about pricing or delay placed on non-subscription e-mails, and I haven't been following this particular tax proposal, but looks like if you don't buy into AOL proposed service (at worse) your e-pamphlet could end up filtered out by the spam filter before it ever sees an AOL subscriber's inbox. Or, could be bulk e-mails sent to AOL members are just snail-mail slow (delayed.)
If you're not an entity sending bulk e-mails to AOL subscribers, this doesn't directly affect you.
At least, not yet.
If AOL puts this into place, could be others may follow.

4. Well my post just disappeared so I'll be brief |
|
It talks about some Diebold machines having an infrared port allowing them to be accessed wirelessly by a mobile phone, a PDA or a laptop.

5. I believe this has been discussed already on the blackboxvoting.org site. |
|
It's just another avenue for hacking the vote.
