It's a good day to die if you are a telemarketer, that is: the National Do Not Call Registry is now open. Ok, it would be open if it weren't for the fact that it's such a fantastic thing that it was "slashdotted" before it was even posted to Slashdot. The new FTC Telemarketing Sales Rules has some other nice features as well; I sure won't miss all of the dead calls we get.
Despite all the bitching from the telemarketing industry, I am convinced that this is a bright day for humanity. I only wish we could get a similar law for spam, and a way of enforcing it.
