I copy everything to an external hard drive now and then, I did it all day today. But I'm gonna see if the virus comes back in the next couple of days, if it does then I'll have to do a complete system restore, which will be a major pain cause I left all my software stuff back at school

China blocks 760 PORN websites. They were not joking when they said they would crackdown on porn.

BEIJING, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) -- China has blocked another 244 porn websites in the last week, bringing the total number of blocked ones to 726 since Jan. 5.

About one third of the closed websites had not registered with governmental departments and violated the top legislature's regulations and other laws regarding public distribution of sexualimages, said a statement issued by the Special Operation Office for Crackdown on Online Porn and Lewd Content.

The month-long campaign against Internet porn was launched by the State Council's Information Office, Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of Culture as well as four other government agencies.

I wonder what their criteria for banning is - content-based (explicitness), or just by being a porn site?

Also, if they're only blocking sites hosted on domestic servers, it seems to be rather pointless given the... well, prevalence of porn on the internet.

I agree. But I'm sure those in China surfing the internet for porn will find it one way or another.

Well, I think the blocking criteria is both content-based, and recognized sites. The blocking is not only domestic servers, but world wide. I'm sure you know there is something called "firewall", and I believe the firewall do all the jobs. It means that if you are in China and using Chinese internet connection, you won't be able to access those porn sites.

No. Windows and BETA are two words that I won't want running simultaneously in my desktop.

Vista has been okay for me so far. But I know a lot of people are unhappy with it.
