DOS their loggers, BLOODY EASY

Lets see, 1mbit adsl2 upstream.

256 char long random urls.

Add tcp/ip/http overhead, thats 1000 urls a second.

Make a nice screen saver that does this, give it to 2000000 people, = more HD space than they can purchase with using 2million dollars a day.
20000000 Gig a day = 20000tb = $2,000,000. Not to mention the physical space and power usage, 200000 watts daily added?

* 365, I doubt they would spend 400 million pounds, zero raid on that.

But I could be wrong, Hitler ruined his country 'policing' his people, yeah fat load of good that did, what a looser, and all his hench men and idiot subservants scum.
