Which poor english ISP was it that was recently DDOSed into non-existance? The WMD's of the internet exist, and have been deployed and used to varying extents already in limited formats. The wakeup call comes when rather then a small DDOS affecting only one or two, a major DDOS is launched that takes down large sections of the internet for extended periods while the child that launched them is out mowing lawns for his/her next stratedgy planning pizza...unless of course we give into the folks at RIAA./DCMA and legalize all this crap for the select few<shrug> (in texas, right, certainly not those in utah)... Thanks, Ron DuFresne ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.
