Suggestion errors in Microsoft Pinyin new experience input style

Was trying to type out the phrase 發生。

Ended up, I found an interesting error in the MS suggestion list... 發生關繫, which, in traditional Chinese should be 發生關係-- meaning had a sexual encounter。


It should be 係, rather than 繫.


Can't find a way to inform MS of the error, though.  While... interesting experience, first time encountering or observing errors in the MS suggestion list.

Online but Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Was checking out the outcome of my entry to the green card lottery and found this interesting problem...

Although I was online playing games using Chrome, I got this error message saying "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" when using IE 9 64 bit.


Apparently, the error is associated with the fact that it is a HTTPS (secure) URL.  In addition to SSL, I also have to enable TLS protocol under the security section.

Click on Internet Options

Click on the Advanced tab

Enable both the SSL and TLS protocols
After getting the protocols enabled, the page got loaded successfully and, voila, here it is!

DNSChanger

Apparently, computers affected by DNSChanger might have problems accessing the Internet starting from July 9th of 2012 because a network of rogue servers will be disabled and the computers that use the services of these rogue DNS servers to access the Internet will, thus, lose their Internet connection.
