OpenDNS To Block and Monitor Conficker Worm 175
Linker3000 writes "According to The Register, OpenDNS plans to introduce an new service that will prevent PCs infected with the Conficker (aka Downadup) malware from contacting its control servers, and will also make it easy for admins to know if even a single machine under their control has been infected by Conficker: 'Starting Monday, any networks with PCs that try to connect to the Conficker addresses will be flagged on an admin's private statistics page. The service is available for free to both businesses and home users.' With the amount of trouble this worm has caused, perhaps this is a good time to take a look at OpenDNS if you haven't done so already."

Ballmer, is that you? Ok, now put down the hard liquor and step away from the internet. You shouldn't be so worried, it hasn't taken that much market-share. No, don't grab that chair. Wait what are you doing? Aaaaaaiiiieeee!

Freedom of speech is very important, but there are exceptions. For example, we don't have the right to watch child porn in a crowded theatre, because that would harm children.
We don't have the right to hijack music vessels on the high seas because it would harm the corporate interests that sheltered us when we were still huddled around dark fires, marveling at shadows on the cave wall.
I fully support OpenDNS's sensible actions, or "sens-orship", as I like to call it. Surely we can trust any corporation with "open" in the title to control our minds in a way we will soon be programmed to approve of.
