Hehe, that's the opposite of true. If anything, your performance would've increased (assuming you could reach the server at all), because other internet users were unable to expend your shared bandwidth.
"The Domain Name System (DNS), which converts complex Internet protocol addressing codes..."
And I suppose the person who wrote this article would consider arithmetic a complex system of digits and symbols.

There's only one critical file? Hey, just email it to me, I'll keep it on my hard drive. If anyone needs it, just shoot me an email.

A subterranean bunker is designed to withstand nuclear wars, but what do you think would happen if the nuke was inside the bunker?
Ummm... a lot more people would be safe? That is, the people who didn't fit in the bunker...

If someone could kindly point me to the person or persons who launched this latest DDOS attack, I would certainly appreciate it. I hold the patent on Distributed Denial-Of-Service Attacks By Electronic Means, and I will get my day in court, and royalties due to me.
The chat is actually encrypted. If you gzip each comment, decrypt the result (56 bit encryption. Thank God for crypto export laws.), you'll see that they're actually exchanging compressed tcp/ip packets. They're using this IRC channel as a transport for their encrypted IRC session on another server, where they are coordinating their efforts to destroy Al Qaeda.

They'll have to pry my nuclear weapon out of my cold dead fingers. A man has a right to protect himself. Would you want to participate in a nuclear war without a nuclear weapon? Bringing a knife to a nuclear war ain't smart.
