Microsoft Blocking Pirate Bay Links In Messenger
RemyBR writes with an excerpt from an article at El Reg: "Microsoft has confirmed that users of its instant messaging app will not be able to send each other links to popular torrent site The Pirate Bay, citing malware fears. 'We block instant messages if they contain malicious or spam URLs based on intelligence algorithms, third-party sources, and/or user complaints. Pirate Bay URLs were flagged by one or more of these and were consequently blocked,' Redmond told The Register in an emailed statement."
I'm pretty sure that's StarCraft - not messenger
It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
Don't worry. Microsoft's backdoors will not work well until about the fifth version. :-9
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
You could make a prostitute detector and equip it on cars so they don't start when they detect a prostitute in it. That way you can't bring one home and contract viruses.
You forgot to block access to the back seat. Historically, it's a major concern.
Also, I'm thinking of the fun implications of the system. You'll drive you daughter to college and the car won't start. I imagine a long, awkward, suspicious pause before you decide either to check the battery or start the sobbing and the beating...
