/. linky

So basically, they're counting on idiots and overly-caffeinated typists to generate more ad revenue for them and we're supposed to believe that they'll keep their caches up to date.

The new Comcast DNS redirection service was controversial both for what it did and for how hard it was to opt-out. Comcast engineers have taken the criticism to heart and fixed the opt-out process.

Would you like to know more?
