No, AEGIS is something else. This is Goalkeeper, the US have built something similar, called Phalanx. Both are designed for very close range defense esp. against cruise missiles. The Exocet missile scared quite a few people in the Falklands war.
For crashes, Mozilla has the talkback feature. If Mozilla crashes, and it hardly ever does anymore, all you need to do is type the url you visited, and click send. That's it.
For other bugs: people will, and do, report them if they are really annoyed with a bug and want to see it fixed. Even if only one in a thousand take the time to file a bugreport you'd still have a pretty large number.
Shut up. If, the next time we need to go past an EULA, we need to type some kind of word shown as an image that can only be read using a mirror, a prism, and polaroid glasses, we all know you're to blame!
It is certainly better zap a person with a shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missile, than to take a 1000 pound bomb to blow him up, and the couple of houses next to him.
Reading the comment as if Rumsfeld would be some wannabee massmurderer just for kicks and grins is a disgrace to one of the few people in the US cabinet that actually has a brain and uses it. Hope he doesn't click my sig.

Go to your slashdot preferences, the homepage tab, and on the lower part of the page is "Customize Slashboxes". Enable some of the bsd sites to see their headlines while reading slashdot.
Like Shanep said, OpenBSD Journal (at deadly.org) is a good one.
The way I see it is that idea is to throttle the datastream going to the attacked IP, at all the routers up to the originating IP(s), not to bounce the packets back to the originating IP(s). It's the only thing that would make sense. If so, the choice of words in the writeup is a bit confusing. But then again, I'm easily confused:)
So if you shut them down or reverse dos them, then they get a taste of their own medicine and you get to laugh while they're trying to figure out why their system just took a dive.:)
I don't think you get it (or I misread the article). The first D in DDoS stands for distributed. In a distributed denial of service attack many, many clients all attack a target at once. You can assume that the machine of the guy that directs the attack is not among the attacking machines.
A reverse DoS would only annoy some people that probably don't even know that their machine is being used in an attack. A better response (if it were possible) would be to send them instructions on securing their machines.
Suits will laugh in your face if you bring up security issues with ms products. They will never spend money until they are bitten. I know, I've tried...
I can tell you that the Netherlands is a pretty nice place to live in. Sure, there are some things I resent about my country, but still I enjoy living here. But, we are not that far behind the US, so think twice before moving here:)
My bad. Me confused F and K. Good thing I'm more or less anonymous so future employers can't backtrace me.:/ Anyway, I'm smart enough to figure out what to wear based on C temps. For me it's the Fahrenheit temps that give me trouble.
Asteroid populations are mentioned in "A Mote in God's Eye", by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. They play an even bigger role in the sequel, called "The Gripping Hand". Great books.

Chimera (Mac browser based on Mozilla, like Phoenix for Linux/Windows) now has Talkback. Maybe they'll be able to backport it to Mozilla.
Why not? Afraid that Asa might backtrace you by the data in the crashdump, and call your wife?
Just report the damn URL, give the developers something to enjoy. Or is your "someone" underage, maybe?
At the risk of feeding:

He discovered Titan, the moon in the picture, the moon that the Huygens probe is going to 'land' on.
Haven't seen the story on APOD yet in the comments, so here it is.
No no... it's the irrelevance drive that'll give us access to the stars.. and the future... and the past!
"it's almost two months old! that's not news! old news for nerds, stuff that used to matter!"
:) I must admit, when I read the submission write-up I thought: how the hell are they gonna do that..
From the troll-preempting dept.
They probably block cookies too.

I'll be the brain :)
ROFL. Finally good justification for wearing a tie. It's just to stay out of the hands of the marketing drones! Really!

Sure, horrible accident. But nothing on the site that you link to indicates that it had anything to do with a programming mistake.

Oh no, not again! I guess us Dutchies ought to be very, very afraid again, as they are probably pretty jealous of our rank in that list...
No, if I had modpoints I would mod this up to counter all the silly replies in this thread.

Only a 100 meters. Let's just throw Yoda at it.
