Actually there are 256^131072 different 128KiB chunks, so to represent all possible chunks you would need 128*256^131072 KiB of data which is much more than all computers in the world could store, combined.
Reminds me of that Bible story where Moses was taking some escaped slaves for a walk in a desert that lasted some 40 years. When asked why it took him so long to get to a free land, he replied that they had to wait for all the former slaves to die off, since only their kids could be trully free.
That's not true. Please read Numbers 13-14 for true reason why that "walk in the desert" took so long.
Short version:
After a relatively short time, they were already near their goal. They send 12 men to spy on the land for 40 days, as commanded by God.
Two spies reported:
Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
Ten spies reported:
We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
People believed the report of 10 spies:
[14:1] And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. [2] And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! [3] And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? [4] And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
God did NOT like that:
[26] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, [27] How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. [28] Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: [29] Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me, [30] Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. [31] But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised. [32] But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. [33] And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. [34] After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise. [35] I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

I don't completely agree - because this can be turned around.
What if a group of terrorists see that a country is going to make a change they don't like, so they *appear* to "force" that country to do so - hoping them to think just as you do, and to abandon the idea. - Which would be exactly what terrorists wanted.
Psychology isn't always so easy - and also terrorists are able to think.
I see this as just another example of how the whole world is going towards one global village, where there are no real independent nations anymore.
In this Village few powerfull entities (like U.S.A currently) tell others what to do, and they will obey.
Where will this end? My guess is that this will end at One World Dictator (or Countil) who says to every continent, nation, state and individual what they can do and think.
I really do hope that I am wrong - but I don't think so after following news for some time now.
It pays to be update with current standards like RFCs. This standard (RFC 2550) has been made specifically for the reason that there can be no more date-bugs in the future.
> Now why on earth would we worry.
The reason to worry comes from Revelation, Chapter 14, where it's stated that those who take the "Mark of the Beast" will receive full wrath of God.
"The Beast" opposes God, and everyone who supports he, or his mark, get full wrath of God. - And won't go to Heaven either (this is stated later in Revelation, perhaps not in as simple terms).
New American Standard Version:
Rev 14:9 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
Rev 14:10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
Rev 14:11 "And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."
Rev 14:12 Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.
NIV - New International Version:
Rev 14:9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand,
Rev 14:10 he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name."
Rev 14:12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.
King James Version:
Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Some translate that "in", some translate that "on". I don't know enough greek to comment on this.
King James Version:
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
New American Standard Version:
Rev 13:16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
Rev 13:17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

2. It might be possible to use some sort of P2P system to distribute the traffic from high traffic websites more evenly around the internet. (what i am thinking about is kind of like caching, however each web browser would become a cache for machines around it... don't know if it is possible)
Read description of Freenet. One aim is just that kind of caching to fight against 'slashdot effect'.
It could be *2* different binaries, one for each system.
Virus has both binaries as payload. When it infects windows files, windows binary is used as 'main binary' and both binaries are added to file as payload.
When infecting linux files this is reversed: Linux binary is used as 'main binary' and then both binaries are added to that as payload.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
Just 'modify' program by changing timestamp of zip or iso-file and you have modified program which you can redistribute.
Although there is text "that you receive source code or can get it if you want it" in GPL which can be understood as you say, that is said only in PREAMPLE section.
Actual license terms clearly states that only when you distribute binary, must you also give access to source code.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Part above is only place where licence talks about giving source code for free. And is states that source code must be made available to those who receive binary code.
