Unicorns and other 'mythical' creatures are almost sure to be 'created' via genetic engineering sooner or later. The potential revenue for mythological (vs. jurassic) park is too great and the ethical considerations pose no real roadblock, cloning and genetic alteration of various animals having already been accepted in many nations of the world.
A faster than light unicorn, though--now that would really turn heads.
Furthermore, I for one welcome our new FTL Unicorn overlords.
It may be Blue Security's intent, but it may not be my intent as a hypothetical user of a hypothetical service very similar to Blue Security's (but different in one critical detail). Consider: 1. I own a domain: (widget.com for example) 2. I have all mail to the domain collected in a default account: (perhaps because I do testing and need to be able to use 100s of addresses on the fly) 3. SPAM significantly interferes with my operations. 4. The emails which I want unsubscribed are the virtually infinite combinations that end in @widget.com. (They may not yet be subscribed but surely a preventative request is allowable) 5. I submit my domain name and automatic unsubscribe requests for every possible combination ending in @widget.com are sent to the spammer. -------- Equals 6. Legitmate purpose: unsubscribe me and preventatively opt-me-out (doesn't matter whether the spammer would actually opt me out or not. I am operating on the basis of the spammers claims). and 7. Happy coincidental side-benefit: DDoS
