Good point. I looked through the article and couldn't see any mention of the number of unique requests made. I could have missed it but I doubt they were looking at 8 million different people.
Article raises a valid concern but in an alarmist manner.
I think you're missing the point. The point is that the less infected machines out there, the less the chances of being infected. The people who know what they're doing won't care because they'll find ways around it. They generally won't get infected anyway. It's the people who don't know computers that have a version of Windows their nerdy friend installed for them for free (probably cause they already had a virus on it) that'll get caught. Their computer will then be used as a jumping off point for attacking other computers.
I'm not actually agreeing or disagreeing with Microsofts decision here. I'm lucky enough to have legal copies of all my OS's provided so this kinda thing doesn't effect me. Just pointing out it's not as straight forward as it might seem.
No, it's shoving the T-shaped block past other blocks into a T-shaped hole. Almost every Tetris game since Tetris Worlds (2001), including Tetris DS, has allowed for this strange move.
It's just not Tetris if you can't do that!!!!
I hate those knock off versions that don't let you do things like that. No fun.
