Good lord, not even a comparison here. Just about any modern language is better than javascript/actionscript. Mind you, AS3 is a big leap over AS2 and previous. But still. It's javascript at the core, which is never good. That's not true. Javascript and Actionscript are derived from ECMA script. And even with that common ancestry, they are fundamentally different. Biggest difference being that AS is fully OO, and JS is not.

Help them recover it, use silverlight. hahaha. No. Flex/Flash is a much stronger implementation of this technology and it is already platform independent. With an Eclipse-based IDE, Open source media and remote data servers and AMF, why bother with silverlight? Frankly, as a web developer, I have enough headaches with Microsoft's loose implementations and platform lock-in. They did this to themselves and they've been left in the cold. I really don't care if they freeze their butts off.
most whois providers lock out ip addresses that send repetitive lookup requests. when you sign on to become a registered reseller, they have an audit process for you and your business and you have to agree to not run scripts against their whois servers.
a really large bot net would probably succeed though with interval-based anonymous lookups. not to give anyone any ideas though...
well Appendix C sorta lays it out pretty plainly and if I understand this correctly - and I may very well not - I would say the easiest fix may be to shorten the lifetime of the key used by PRNG to something incredibly short or do away with it all together.
