Microsoft Eyes PC Isolation Ward To Thwart Botnets
CWmike writes "In a paper published Wednesday (PDF), Scott Charney, who heads Microsoft's trustworthy computing group, spelled out a concept of 'collective defense' that he said was modeled after public health measures like vaccinations and quarantines. The aim: To block botnet-infected computers from connecting to the Internet. Under the proposal, PCs would be issued a 'health certificate' that showed whether the system was fully patched, that it was running security software and a firewall, and that it was malware-free. Machines with deficiencies would require patching or an antivirus update, while bot-infected PCs might be barred from the Internet."

What racist bullshit. WHITELISTs and BLACKLISTs. Are you serious? How about ALLOWED and DISALLOWED? Much more clear and less racist or colloquial. Get with the political correctness, man!
You open sores fags are the ones who ought to be isolated.
On a separate topic, what would prompt a man to chop off his junk and become a woman? Seriously, what the hell did your father do to you to cause you to do that to yourself, you nasty tranny? Now you just look like a chick with a jacked up face.
