The blurb didn't really make this clear -- it was the root DNS servers that got DOS'ed. I wouldn't really go so far as to call them the/Internet backbone/.
I'm sorry, but all this talk of MySQL's lack of subselects has got me all worked up. Could someone explain to the rest of us why the suckers are so hard to implement? It always seemed to me like it would be intuitively simple -- just execute the subselect, dump the result set into a temporary table, replace the subselect text in the main statement with the name of the temporary table, execute the main statement, delete the temporary table, etc. Is there any reason why it can't be this simple?
Machine Design ran an article on this last year, and they generously provide it online in PDF format, with purty pictures and all (though they are a bit low-res). Go to www.machinedesign.com and search for "damascus" for the link. Now if only every publication were as thoughtful...
No, no, no -- those uppity computer scientists have it all wrong. Instead of rehashing old search algorithms, they need to start inventing a Russian computer. When will they ever learn?

My university has what amounts to a campus-wide subscription. Can't hurt to check if you're a student/faculty at an academic institution.

Galeon has them, although they are not enabled by default.
