Research and innovation needs money. Research money goes to industries that make money. There was no profit in going back to the moon so nobody did any more efforts to get there. So now we want to go to Mars we don't have the technology we would have if there was money in it.
It's all a bit sad really. And surprisingly, military research (death science) has blossommed into many technologies we use today (hint:Internet) because there was money in it.
Would you rather drop the nukes and have them NOT go off?
"Oops, sorry Mr president, it appears we shot blanks again"
Public review is how the usefulness and feasibility of research such as this are determined. Besides, there is no 100% denial in the presented scenario unless the attacker actually manages to attack from ALL incoming nodes on MOST branches of the attacked network infrastructure being traversed. It is almost certain that some good, if not poor (as defined in the paper) traffic will go through.
So, you want us to send our soldiers as mercenaries to wipe your behind for you, and then you expect us to turn our soldiers over to whatever butcher is running the world court this year? We are not amused. Don't forget, the UN is filled with nations that want to destroy us (and you, too, if you're in Europe).
Um... the US seems to be running the UN currently along with sidekick Mr Blair from the UK. If you are going to be the super power you might as well consider the underlings' sense of justice.
Plus I really don't see what it is the US is doing that the rest of the world would be unable to do... Maybe they are unwilling?
The US has always been a republic. Insofar as we can avoid democracy, we have a chance to keep our freedoms.
*Cough*... Your Republic gave you Bush. And that, after a global embarassment of doing it the way you did it.
*pauses to let this sink in*
And I'm sure you would keep your freedoms... eg the freedom to unbiased news (CNN), the freedom of information (DMCA), human rights (people in concentration camps in Cuba), security (twin towers) and quality entertainment (WWF):-p
Our State Department would do nothing of consequence. If it became a common practice to treat Americans thus in some country, the government would advise us not to travel there.
Um, it already does that with about 80% of the world's countries. Including the 'birthplace of Democracy', Greece which is full of US tourists, Turkey, which is also full of US tourists... and so on and so forth.
Besides, you know as well as I that the outcry to US citizens being in a concentration camp somewhere (in the depth of indonesia for example) would result in a push from the US public to do something.
Which means a bombing.:-p
I mean, it appears to be your (presidents' i should point out) solution to everything. It failed in Yugoslavia, it failed in the FIRST attempt at saddam and again, did you hear the news, Saddam has reconfirmed his authority in Iraq by public vote if I am not mistaken...
Oh and the Taliban have fallen from power in afghanistan but Mr Laden is still bombing australians.... in Indonesia was it?
So... scale back on the rhetoric please and wake up. The role of the superpower is something you don't do very well.
Give me a moment to switch my brain to your way of thinking.... *CLICK*
Interesting that the world is always black and white on Slashdot.
Can *you* cite any studies on this?
It says a lot about the ability of most of the Slashdot crowd to grasp the complexity of any problem that isn't hard science that this comment was modded up.
Why do you find *that* so obvious? Maybe people who don't like some posts dont bother to mod them down... Could be, could not be... prove it.

Poor birds tho. Then again, this seems like a recent development. How noisy and inefficient (and dangerous) were early cars?
If we all had one of those we'd not have to get stuck in traffic for an hour a day

If you propagate upstream your pipe will *no*longer*be*filled*.
Plus, you don't process every single packet. Only dropped ones and of those, only a sample. Did you actually READ the paper?
