There's no explanation for such a botnet other than a professional full-time organization specifically created for profit.
Yes, there is, a lot of DDOS power. A lot of xdcc bots. Script kiddies with zero skills can pull it off.
Hopefully though it doesn't add fuel to the various ??AA organization's fire of declaring IRC a scourge on humanity.
Just because botnets use irc networks as a place of gathering does not mean IRC is a scourage on humanity. ??AA are not even worried about such things, there is no direct relationship between botnets and music/movies.
I would not be surprised if there is at the least 10 times more unique hosts than they found.
And yet again someone missinformed. Bush DID NOT BAN Federal Funding of Stem Cell Research. He banned Federal Funding going to Embryonic Stem Cell Research on new lines. This research used Adult Stem Cells. Something that Federal money can go to.
Oh golly. Well Bush is great then!!!
WHY did he ban any new funding for embryonic stem cell research? Embryonic stem cells are abundantly available, and there is no reason to ban research that could help millions or billions of people. What is a good reason the research was banned?
Dont respond with religious gooblygook, I am looking for a reason, not a poor excuse.
1.Get as many people as you can to purchase your product, and get your profits
2.Lower your price, get as many people as you can to purchase your product
Repeat 2. a few times.
It makes sense because instead of getting X buyers at your final reduced price (usually as low as possible so that u can still profit), you get X buyers at an average price higher than final price.
Another reason is it is easier to produce less quantity at your release date (economies of scale are reduced after u have to do something like build a whole new factory), and then keep producing more shipments later on.
I am a student in CS in Canada, and I met someone in the same situation. He had been out of school for about 5 years and wanted to take his masters in CS somewhere in a top 10 school in North America. He took undergrad courses for a year first, and he found the hardest thing after the break was math courses.
Since most individuals do not use their advanced math skills after university, he struggled a bit with algebra & geometry, calc, combinatorics, stats, etc.
He is glad he was taking them to improve his skills.
From my experience its the truth. So far, all the jobs and good friendships I have gotten have been due to what I do outside school hours.
True for me too.
The only thing I would disagree with, is learn a bit of stuff even if you dont like it, sometimes its useful later on, even when you still dont like it.

Google should grab a nightly dump and set up pedia.google.com
Thats disgusting. Grabbing dumps is bad enough, but then u bring Pediaphiles into it.

Because it is bigger than 256.
TWICE as big!!!
If my email tells me anything, size DOES matter.
And Canadians wonder why intellgent people and corporations HATE their country.
Intellgent. The only other funny part in your post was your use of the word "liberal". When did being liberal become a bad thing?
Well not to be a jerk but....
It wouldnt be a denial of service against the 911 system, it would be a distributed denial of service.
It would be tough to specifically deny service to 911, going to their building and cutting all phone lines would do it.
But, with a distribution of users phoning, it could create a denial of service if there were enough.
On its own, phoning 911 isnt a denial of service. Writing a worm to get thousands of users to do it is.
Well I guess that expains all the crappy movies coming out of Hollywood.
You obviously have not seen the trailers for "Are we there yet?", "Racing stripes", "The pacifier", etc.
Please do not post such slanderous comments without all the information.
(I could produce better movies with a poloroid camera, a shoestring, and beer)
How would France have the jurisdiction to affect the way an American company operates?
Should this not have been modded +ironic instead of +insightful?
Americans try to impose their court rulings on the world daily. Another country passes a ruling and *GASP* how does this effect AMERICA!
Well, it shouldnt effect america. But american rulings should not effect the rest of the world either.
Any company tries this.

You cant argue with stats. Its just science.
I am sure 1000 people gives you a good worldwide representation.
50% of the time, they are right every time.
My first search engine I used to swear by was metacrawler. Then naturally progressed to google, with the rest of the world at some point.
My high school teacher who taught me basic said to me
"You already know way more than me about programming! I am sure you will do way more programming than me in your life"
He was right! He died shortly afterwords.

How much money would they extract from a 19-year old undergrad at an expensive private university?
In other news, Apple retracts its thinksecret lawsuit, and is now suing Miss Cleo. Miss Cleo was reached for a statement:

Wow the price of burlap sacks and rope MUST have gone up (along with the price of oil increases from having to drive to the nearest pond)

This is slightly off this topic, but in the wireless realm.
How do I go about boosting my reception with an antenna...a la pringles can? Specifically, is it possible with an internal laptop wireless card?
Or is it possible to boost my router's pickup?
Any websites or advice would be appreciated...thanks!
I don't know what's more embarrassing. To be caught going 100mph on the hightway or 0mph in the backseat in some empty supermarket parking lot.
Easy answer: supermarket. If the girl you are with is THAT hungry...your dad is going to be teasing you about the shocks in the car for months.
