A very clever use indeed. If you have hardware that does certain kinds of calculations much more effcient way than a general purpose processor, why not use it? From an engineering standpoint it's the right thing to do. A GPU is a specialized processor when it comes to certain mathematical operations. If you specialize you can be very good at what you do.
IMHO it's one of the coolest experiments I've heard about. And there's no need to discuss the problem in the future. I just hope somebody reproduce the experiment to verify it.
This is actually a very good idea. You block offenders in the switch. My school has done the same during this blaster episode, and I believe it has worked very well. Of course it helped that blaster came active before the start of the autumn term, because not all students had come here after the summer.
And of course, block the right incoming traffic in the border routers.

Kanada is just the Swedish way of spelling Canada. C:s in the beginning of words is very uncommon in Swedish.
