When the net has a problem, it usually routes around the problem. That's why it's "the net". DARPA designed it this way mostly; newer fixes have endeavoured to make it so. Other wise it becomes brittle and subject to breakage.
So the first thing to remember is that the bad guys will figure out some way around Lycos eventually.
The second thing is, as others have pointed out, suppose the christian right decides to get their people to do this to porn sites?
Suppose W. gets his supporters to do this to dissenters?
Suppose 10,000 people out there shut down whatever YOU hold dear?
The spammers need to face trial by law; then capital punishment can be administered.
/. pointed me to the excellent Knoppix version; I splurged a whole five dollars for the CD. What does it do for you? Let's you see if your hardware is compatible with Linux and does not write anything to your hard drive while doing so.
If you wish to introduce new folks to Linux, this is a good way to do it. It totally removes any fear-factor about having to dump your current system and try something that just might not work for you.
No, it's not a book but for me, it was better than a book. I'd rather buy a book than take a class but I'd also rather buy a tool rather than read about it in a book. Hands on, know what I mean?
