128.252.154.87:3284 open socks4 proxy was used on 21 November for a
Hipcrime attack on nanae. And I got the port number by Googling so it
must have been open and was probably abused before that date.

It was used late North American Monday for a Hipcrime attack on
24hoursupport.helpdesk and the same open proxy was still there Tuesday
at 19:18 GMT.

At one time, RCN (formerly Erols) had the famous Afterburner on its
abuse desk. Now, it seems to have Dave Null.

Remember - go to RCN for your net-abuse needs. You put up a phishing
page? It will still be up on Valentine Day. You can get Giganews with
only IP authentication through RCN.

equality  had become  technically possible. It was still true that men were
not  equal in their native talents and that functions had to be specialized
in  ways  that favoured some  individuals against  others; but there was no
longer  any  real need for  class distinctions  or for large differences of
wealth.  In  earlier ages, class  distinctions had been not only inevitable

development  of machine  production, however, the case was altered. Even if
it  was still necessary  for human beings to do different kinds of work, it
was  no  longer necessary for them  to live at different social or economic
levels. Therefore, from the point of view of the new groups who were on the
point of seizing power, human equality was no longer an ideal to be striven
after,  but a danger to be averted. In more primitive ages, when a just and
peaceful  society was  in fact  not possible,  it had  been fairly  easy to
believe  it. The  idea of  an  earthly paradise  in which  men should  live
together  in a state of brotherhood, without laws and without brute labour,
had  haunted the  human imagination for thousands of years. And this vision
had  had  a certain hold  even on the groups  who actually profited by each
historical   change.  The  heirs  of  the  French,  English,  and  American
revolutions  had  partly believed in their  own phrases about the rights of
man,  freedom  of
