Microsoft MSNBot DoS

Oi, Microsoft, yes You!

See this?  Now Bugger Off!  Your lack of self-control was pushing my poor server’s CPU through the roof, so I blocked you.  Now I see you’re back and after the 403 you still aren’t taking the hint!

Search just about anywhere else on this site, no problems.  But the git repositories, those are both CPU and I/O intensive.  Had you noticed how long it was taking, and backed off, I might’ve put up with you, but 5-minute CPU load averages in excess of 80 on a dual-core Intel Atom are no fun.

Go bing up someone else’s host!
